Abstract

CASADEI, Eliza Bachega. Historical photographs as disciplinary devices: power over the speech of others in the school context. Rev. Inter Ação [online]. 2015, vol.40, n.1, pp.67-83. ISSN 0101-7136.  https://doi.org/10.0104/interacao.2015.401.05.

This article refers to Michel Foucault's ideas in order to analyze the appropriation of historical images in school textbooks. Firstly, we discuss the conditions of the production of the photographic image itself, which, not infrequently, unites strategies of power with those of seeing and acting. Then, we talk about the production conditions of the reappropriation of these images when they are reinserted in school textbooks and other discursive contexts. In this respect, Foucault's ideas provide pedagogical tools which increase students‟ knowledge by problematizing the construction of knowledge.

Keywords : Foucault; Photography; History; Power; Discursive Strategies.
