ANDRADE-MOLINA, Melissa. Oecd’s dominant discourses of the Low-Performer and the Production of Subjects. Rev. Reflex [online]. 2018, vol.26, n.2, pp.9-26.  Epub 13-Sep-2019. ISSN 1982-9949.  https://doi.org/10.17058/rea.v26i2.11731..

This article aims at troubling the dominant discourses around OECD’s portrayal of the low-performer. It deconstructs and maps the taken-for-granted truths that are built under the assumption that an accumulation of risk factors on students would pose a threat to the economic growth of a country. From this reading, the low-performer is taken as a child in need of salvation full of disadvantages that should be overcome. By building on a Deleuzian nonsense, the analysis plays with other types of correlations to conclude that the low-performer is a fabrication for the production of the underachiever.

Palabras clave : Low-performer; Risk factors; OECD; Threat; Economic growth; Monsense.
