Abstract

This chapter focuses on the collective construction of knowledge in educational programmes developed between the State University of Ceara (UECE), Brazil, the Landless Rural Workers Movement (MST) and the Ministry of Agrarian Development (MDA), through the National Institute for Colonization and Land Reform (INCRA/EC) under the National Programme of Land Reform Education (PRONERA). We conceptualize the university as a contested and contradictory space of hegemony and counter-hegemony. Our analysis of the struggle to develop counter-hegemonic forces focuses on the branch of university life called ‘university extension’,1 which is an important dimension to the university-in-the-making, as it involves the university linking its work to society and the community
