| Summary: | The Brazilian Comparative Society’s history, aged 40, evokes the unbearable lightness of being, associating the freedom’s lightness and the facts’ burden. Outlining this continuous tension, we point out the initial goal of opening windows and doors to the world, as a means to overcome an introjected educational system, as well as a neo-colonial cosmopolitism in order to point out another perspective to the sciences of education. A survey in 2013 detected 97 articles on comparative and international education published in 1999-2014. Nevertheless, we have been surprised by an initial estimate of around 840 digitally published papers in 2019-Jun. 2023. This boom mirrors the globalization context, comparative evaluations and incentives to competition for efficiency, not necessarily equality. This paper finishes with questions about numerous quantitative webs we are in, included in assembly lines of “scientific production” as industrial goods, instead of deeply reflecting on meaning and implications. Would we be puppets in a giant show of lightness and weight’s simulacra and simulation? |
