BORGES, Veronica  and  LOPES, Alice Casimiro. Why is affect important to politics? Theoretical-strategic implications. Práx. Educ. [online]. 2021, vol.17, n.48, pp.114-135.  Epub Nov 25, 2021. ISSN 2178-2679.  https://doi.org/10.22481/praxisedu.v17i48.8939.

The present paper claims affect as another dimension to be considered in the production of curricular policies in their constitutive condition. It proposes a debate about the theoretical-strategic implications of affects from the incorporation of the discursive perspective of Ernesto Laclau and Chantal Mouffe. For such an undertaking, it operates with the logics of the social and political, as well as from the fantasmatic logic, following the arguments of Jason Glynos and David Howarth. In a double gesture, it calls into question the naturalization of the paradigmatic character of Cartesian thought and argues in defense of articulatory practices as a theoretical-strategic way to put meaning in motion and explore language games that give way to affects in politics.

Keywords : affect; curriculum policy; theory of discourse..
