FREITAS, Alexandre Simão de. DOMESTICATION, CARE AND EDUCATION: THE ANIMAL AS SPECTRUM SCHOOL IN DISCIPLINE & PUNISH. Educ. Rev. [online]. 2017, vol.33, e159568.  Epub May 18, 2017. ISSN 1982-6621.  https://doi.org/10.1590/0102-4698159568.

This paper addresses a kind of hidden genealogy of school in the book Discipline and punish of the French thinker Michel Foucault, exploring an unorthodox thought about the relationship between the human condition and animality. Methodologically, the argument focuses on the opening of the penal colony of Mettray in 1840, considered the limit case of all disciplinary training operations by Foucault. Mettray was the first normal school, a kind of experimental school created to normalize the power of normalization itself. With Mettray and its educational effort to discipline, mainly the disciplinarian, as mentioned by Foucault, we know the generalization of a form of power that no longer consents to lose even what it insists on disqualifying, taking on one side what it seems to exclude on the other.

Keywords : Michel Foucault; Zoopolitics; Modern school..
