| dc.description.abstract | Grounded on Michel Foucault’s theorizations, this thesis aims at carrying out a genealogically inspired analysis of practices operated by school, which is here understood as a normalization machine working for the State in the production of inclusive subjectivities. By operating with the concepts of governmentality, normalization, and subjectivation, it analyzes two sets of materials: the first is constituted of education policies in the inclusion perspective, as they have been produced in Brazil in recent years; the second is composed of records of school practices belonging to a State public school. From the analysis, it has been possible to understand inclusion as an imperative in the current political rationale, which, in its alliance with school, finds possibilities of production of subjectivities that fit the life style of contemporary society, which has been generated by the neoliberal governmentality. The school is one of the several places in which such
subjectivities are produced, in adisplacement from disciplinary actions, where the exercise of subjectivation is focused on both discipline and knowledge power relations, to security actions, where it is possible to notice the emergence of a subjectivation focused both on the subject and on one’s capacity for self management, self investment, self analysis, etc. From a specific kind of subject, produced in a modern logic, one that is subjectivated for passivity, obedience, and self discipline, another kind of subject becomes necessary, one that is creative, active, entrepreneur, produced in the contemporary logic. In this sense, this displacement is taken as a possibility condition for the production of inclusive subjectivities that, through school practices, must learn how to manage themselves, increasingly better, thus developing conditions for inclusion and permanence in the economic game of neo liberalism. Considering that due to a security issue everybody should participate in the economy weavings, the concern about the other, which has been naturalized as a matter of moral principles, starts to be understood as a matter of subjects’ self investment. Once everybody develops conditions for inclusion (and permanence) in the economic weavings of neo liberalism, the operation of security, through the alliance between State and school, will have attained its objectives. | en |
