O que vocês fizeram está fora de um padrão aceitável para a escola: sujeição e práticas de liberdade no cotidiano escolar – da (in)disciplina ao cuidado de si

Abstract

The argumentation we propose here is part of an interest in bringing forth discussions on the production of schooled subjects, on the possibility of (re)thinking different processes of subjectivities present in school‟s day-to-day running – subjection, freedom practices. Taking the foucauldian perspective and that of some authors who work with this proposal (such as Gallo, Veiga-Neto, Revel and others) as theoretical framework, this research was carried out in secondary school, at Colégio de Aplicação João XXIII of the Federal University of Juiz de Fora (UFJF). It was observed that the school seeks to control the schooled bodies daily. Thus, „indiscipline‟ was considered a practice of resistance against the effects of power. This is inherent in that sort of pedagogic process, because the greater the control is, the more resistance forces are produced. However, many times, school authority seeks to control these forces even more, thus producing and reproducing (in)discipline. As it is, the ethics of aesthetics of existence as care of the self can become, to teaching practices, a means of resistance to that model of school, to imposed practices. It provides teachers and others with different arrangements of forces within such a space, games of mutual liberties, reciprocal between one another, daily.
