AQUINO, Júlio Roberto Groppa  and  RIBEIRO, Cintya Regina. The care of the self in Brazilian educational research: a problem notion. Educação e Filosofia [online]. 2022, vol.36, n.78, pp.1553-1601.  Epub Jan 29, 2024. ISSN 1982-596X.  https://doi.org/10.14393/revedfil.v36n78a2022-66204.

This study consists of an examination of the Brazilian academic production, published in 71 journals in the field of education, which made use of the notion of care of the self, as discussed by Michel Foucault. It consists of 51 articles produced in the last 18 years, since the publication in Brazil of the lectures The hermeneutics of the subject, in 2004. In the manner of the composition of a hupomnema, the treatment of the material followed the procedure of listing the statements in circulation, in order to put into perspective the appropriations of the theme. The result is a panorama of the proliferating effects of this notion, supporting both the novelty and the permanence of its use in educational research. In the end, we advocate the denaturalization of the idea of subject and its derivatives, in order to enhance the care of the self as an occasion for interpellation and, perhaps, for the dissolution of the subject form.

Keywords : Care of the self; Michel Foucault; Educational Research; Educational journals.
