In this article, Social Education-Pedagogy of the Oppressed is approached from the viewpoint of Paulo Freire, linking this issue to the emergence of the Solidarity Economy Movement; we also intend to equate this issue in the light of the concept of resilience, since it would help to understand their main characteristics and constraints as well as the evaluation of his results. The liberation from oppression does not happen by itself, since man is a social being inserted in the multiple dimensions of a conflictual society, where awareness and social transformation takes place. Indeed, it is essential to bear in mind that Oppressed's freedom, that will release him from adversity condition that is plunging him, but also his oppressor, must be conquered by its own resilient effort and in the framework of communion with others; as Paulo Freire said, "no one liberates anyone and no one liberates himself: men are freed together with each other".

Resumo: É urgente introduzir novos enfoques para ultrapassar os impasses e as controvérsias em que se tem dispersado a reflexão sobre a resiliência, quase meio século após a sua importação da Física e da Engenharia onde designa a intrínseca resistência dos materiais alicerçada na flexibilidade, evidenciada quando estes são expostos a impactos desafiadores da sua integridade estrutural. Nesse sentido, desmistificando equívocos e sistematizando alguns pontos de confluência nas muitas teorizações e pesquisas sobre o tema, procura-se reposicionar a discussão, salientando o carácter processual e evolutivo da resiliência, indissociável do papel assumido pela ressignificação da adversidade em cada percurso singular individual. Na demanda de uma indispensável clarificação, baseada numa teoria global do desenvolvimento humano e assente em perspetivas multifacetadas, nomeadamente de natureza construtivista, dialética, ecológica e sistémica, visa-se uma compreensão complexa e pluridimensional, a qual equacione antigas questões sob uma ótica inovadora, conducente a novos caminhos para conceptualizar e investigar a resiliência.

A DEVELOPMENTAL LOOK ABOUT THE RESILIENCE CONCEPTIn search of the lost link that allows us to overcome adversity Abstract: It is an urgent task to introduce new approaches to overcome the impasses and the controversies in which the reflection on resilience has been lost almost half a century after its importation from Physics and Engineering, where it designates an intrinsic resistance of the materials, based on their intern flexibility, shown when they are exposed to impacts challenging their structural integrity. Thus, this article seeks to demystify some misunderstandings, and to systematize some points of convergence in many theories and researches on this subject, in order to reposition the discussion on resilience, emphasizing its procedural and evolutionary nature, as well as the role of the resignification of adversity in each subject's individual life cycle. In pursuit of an indispensable clarification, grounded in a global theory of human development based on multifaceted perspectives -namely of a constructivist, dialectical, ecological and systemic nature -a complex and multidimensional understanding is sought, which equates old issues under an innovative look, aiming to lead to new ways to conceptualize, and to investigate the resilience concept.
