The article analyzes the political landscape in which the emergence of a field of scientific-pedagogical knowledge and a body of expertise for teaching deaf individuals were produced as understood to be necessary under the modern ideal of civilization. Teacher education is seen as an instrument of governmentality, to help understand how types of discourse used to support policy generate meanings that define the “educationability” of deaf students’ and the professional status of the teachers, relating the functionality of this interplay with the liberal governmental regime. This paper uses Michel Foucault’s concept of the device as a methodological tool and that of governmentality as an analytical tool. The study made it possible to describe the creation of teacher education for education of the deaf in the nineteenth century as an instrument of governmentality used by the liberal state. At that time, teacher education responded strategically to the urgent historic need to create a system of knowledge for teachers, which would allow establishing order in the school population and produce docile deaf bodies.
