Abstract

The present text brings legal education with Warat through Bourdieu's habitus category correlated with the formation of specific legal teaching practices reproduced in a process he calls “pinguinizationâ€. The problem is: how can the carnivalization of legal education, proposed by Warat, help to modify the legal habitus present in the field of law education? When analyzing the pinguinization process, one must realize that the practices reproduced within the legal field tend to transform legal operators into penguins, committed to values ​​that are distant from social reality, and accommodated in the dominant order. The solution indicated by Warat would be the carnivalization of legal education in order to undo ideological representations and explode the totalitarian orders that permeate this field inside out.
