Oral sources and written sources were triangulated.             The results of this research study can contribute to know and explain the cultural and educational processes of subaltern groups, both, in regard to the relationship of speech with the processes of hegemony as the place of children in society in the of colonial capitalism context, the relationship between education and culture as well as to understand the place of women, girls, youths and adults in labor relation.              The different dimensions where popular culture is displayed (speaking, work, games, literature, religion, music) have allowed us to have access to the context in which relations of hegemony-subalternity   and where process of subjectivization occur and how these processes are lived. We looked into the experience of adult education in the present of the participants of the workshops. We developed a reflection around the hegemony in the theoretical tradition of Marxism.             This study is a contribution for both theoretical elaboration as well as the methodology since it has allowed us to validate qualitative research methods, oral history and participant methodologies for research in the field of education
