The research, based on the historical-dialectical materialist method, has a theoretical nature, using a qualitative approach and a bibliographic survey, in which it seeks to understand and investigate the chosen object through the mapping of academic productions related to the theme published in the Theses and Dissertations Catalog of CAPES.
