Althusser’s application of the theory of epistemological breaks (2006) informed this research. Based on a deconstructive re-reading and survey of Freire’s important literatures this research traced the diachronic changes in Freire’s thought: Christian, Marxist, and postmodern. The results of this research have implications to research and practice in adult, continuing, extension, and community education.

Specifically, Freire’s culture circles have evolved into two musical and literacy education approaches towards dialogic learning in Spain.  Through the work of many scholars these Freirean circles have now morphed into two new categories: a) ‘tertulias dialógicas literarias’ or ‘dialogical literacy circles’ reflecting the literacy approach; and b) ‘tertulias dialógicas musicales’ or ‘dialogical music listening circles’, reflecting the musical education approach. In this article, Danilo Martins de Castro Chaib examines how the theory underlining the practice of the music circle impacts and alters our understanding of how Pierre Bourdieu’s theory of cultural capital relates to Iris Young’s cultural imperialism. It will look at the social groups that support these circles such as the federations and confederations created by the participant groups. It will also examine how particular practices coming from the field of development education assist these culture circles in achieving their key objective, i.e. the wider appreciation of music and literature by facilitating the creation of new interpretations and developing tastes born of the particular cultural background of each participant.
