Since its initiative to reconstitute the praxis at the core of social and critical theories, Jürgen Habermas presents in his writings a reconstructive approach of historical materialism. Outlining his intent firstly in Theory and practice, the author draws basilar points of his intellectual project in central works as Knowledge and human interests, from 1968, Technology and science as ?ideology?, also from the same year, Legitimation crisis, from 1973, until reaching the reconstructivism properly named in Towards a reconstruction of historical materialism, from 1976, where take places a systematization of the premises that supports his communicative theory towards the conjectural challenges posed by the changes in historical and social reality to marxist thought. Enquiring the persistence of the dialectic between productive forces and production relations, Habermas theorizes that class struggle no longer express the glaring contradictions in economic and political relations and that, for the continuity of social development, new evolutionary elements would have been systematized in the institutionalization of conflicts of interests. Such elements would be subjectively linked to processes of social learning, performing the constitution of individual and organizational identities that, beyond the classist arrangements, would allow the formation of emancipatory behaviours oriented by the mutual understanding and by the search for consensus through the discursivity. In this context, we propose to analyse the path covered by the author in grounding language and interaction as new dimensions capable of grasping these symbolic and subjective mediations in the reconstruction of what, despite the materialist comprehension of history, would be the core elements of the human gender socialization by the communicative reason and action.
