SILVA, Eduardo Pinto e. Por uma interlocução interpelante entre Foucault e a psicanálise nas críticas às práticas educacionais. ETD [online]. 2010, vol.12, n.01, pp.256-279. ISSN 1676-2592.

This paper proposes a radical criticism of educational practices from an interpellant interlocution between Foucault and psychoanalysis. Foucault deals with themes like insanity, knowledge, power and ethics, having as a background a criticism of disciplinary society, institutions and normalization performed by psychiatry and psychoanalysis. Freud discusses the dynamics of psychic conflicts, opposing to the medical knowledge of his time, so that he could develop a theory of the unconscious. The retrieval of the criticisms of Foucault to Freud is fundamental to the proposition of this paper. The dialog between the foucaultian and psychoanalytic criticisms of education and their possible contribution for the transformation of its practices is only feasible and potentialized when it takes into account the pertinent Foucault’s criticisms of psychoanalysis. On the other hand, it is necessary to admit that the psychoanalytic field, as a permanent interlocutor of Foucault, can become, to a certain extent, an ally of his philosophical project, as due to its decentering concerning the view of the rational subject as to the criticism of the institutions. It may thus promote ways of thinking and acting differently of those generally aimed in the school practices and in everyday life.

Keywords : Foucault; Psychoanalysis; Education; Power; Institution.
