As políticas educacionais no contexto da crise das instituições disciplinares

Abstract

Michel Foucault alludes to three models of societies that constitute different ways of exercising power: the societies of sovereignty, disciplinary societies and the societies of control. The disciplinary society, which provided the substrate of the institutions of modernity, which uses methods to compete dressage, surveillance, containment and examination. In this context, family, school, hospital, barracks and prison , operate according to the same logic , albeit in peculiar circumstances . Their common goal would be the production of docile and useful bodies. Deleuze observed a generalized crisis of the means of containment, due in particular to the modern technologies of communication and information. The walls that defined the institutions have become fragile, not allowing a clear distinction between the " inside and outside". The possibility of real-time communication and dissemination of information through social networks, among other factors, contributed to promote the privatization of public space, in that it allowed an individual “ is" in more than one place at a time. These circumstances have raised the need to review the role of institutions in this new configuration, called a society of control. Within the limits of this text we will discuss the main mechanisms of power that constituted the school and the main discourses related to it. Also will be analyzed the main characteristics of contemporary educational institutions, highlighting aspects that have remained static and its major changes . Finally, we will make a discussion on the future of a school in a world full of other disciplinary technologies more effective and cheaper than traditional schools.
