Abstract

SOUSA, Cynthia Pereira de. A modernidade pedagógica no discurso jurídico: a normalização das populações infantis. Revista da FAAEBA: Educação e Contemporaneidade [online]. 2011, vol.20, n.36, pp.217-226. ISSN 0104-7043.

This text has as its main objective the systematization and analysis of discursive formations on the educational reform, which circulated in Brazil and in Portugal, from a historical and comparative perspective. For this purpose, we examine the meanings assigned to modernity and, by extension, to pedagogical modernity, by means of a sociology of modernity and the speeches made in the field of Law, in documentary sources such as books, thesis, codes, manuals, journals, etc. In contact with these field sources, we have sought legal topics constituting the educational problem of modernity, such as, those related to morality, subjectivity and its control, observation and care given to children’s body and soul, in short, to those aspects linked to the structuring of a new kind of government for the children and the whole society.

Keywords : Pedagogical Modernity; Legal Discourse; Technologies of Government of Children’s Populations.
