KLEIN, Carin  and  MEYER, Dagmar Estermann. PEDAGOGIES OF MOTHERHOOD IN THE BETTER EARLY CHILDHOOD POLICY/RS. Revista Teias [online]. 2018, vol.19, n.55, pp.211-226.  Epub Feb 17, 2020. ISSN 1982-0305.  https://doi.org/10.12957/teias.2018.33408.

This paper analyzes a public policy, known as Better Early Childhood (PIM), by understanding it as a pedagogical action intended to educate women in the sense instituting ways of experiencing motherhood. The research is grounded on the fields of gender studies and Foucauldian studies; the empirical material, examined from the perspective of discourse analysis, was produced through an ethnographic field work in the city of Canoas (RS). We are interested in pointing out the articulation between certain ways of experiencing motherhood, social vulnerability and public policies, since it is in such connection that women are positioned as central agents and called to be responsible for actions aimed at the whole development of children, by means of exercise/delimitation of maternal functions.

Keywords : Education; Motherhood; Public Policies.
