BORGES, Clayton Cesar de Oliveira  and  NEIRA, Marcos Garcia. Archival gesture and critical attitude as an analytical leitmotiv in educational research. Rev. Bras. Educ. [online]. 2020, vol.25, e250058.  Epub Nov 25, 2020. ISSN 1809-449X.  https://doi.org/10.1590/s1413-24782020250058.

This article, through a theoretical discussion, intends to point out the meaning and some of the possible potentialities of archival gesture and critical attitude - as advocated by Michel Foucault and some of his later interlocutors - when conceived as analytical leitmotiv for research in the field of education. It is argued that the articulation of such key notion from the Foucaultian legacy in the investigative work and the resulting modi operandi often give rise to a certain way of problematizing the educational present, asking about their conditions of existence, their meanings, their rules of action, their effects and, in view of that, perhaps outlining possible transformations.

Keywords : archive; critical attitude; Michel Foucault.
