Abstract

PRATA, Maria Regina dos Santos. A produção da subjetividade e as relações de poder na escola: uma reflexão sobre a sociedade disciplinar na configuração social da atualidade. Rev. Bras. Educ. [online]. 2005, n.28, pp.108-115. ISSN 1413-2478.

The text seeks to articulate the production of contemporary subjectivity with the relations of power that circulate in the school, discussing the place this institution occupies in the social configuration of the present time. Based on Michel Foucault's conception of the disciplinary society (1977), the essay seeks to examine the validity and the limits of this model for contemporary society. It constitutes a theoretical reflection which aims at inserting the school as institution in the socio-historical context, not only thematising its place as a reproducer of hegemonic social standards, but also stressing its importance for the production of subjectivity and for the revision of socially constructed values.

Keywords : Production of Subjectivity; Relations of Power; School.
