Foucault e as telas-escolas: entre disciplina e ilegalismos

Abstract

The essay proposes to dig holes in the school’s ground, in order to explode the common notion of school taken from the Foucaultian work that, so often, imprison it in a regulation logic and in an infinite exercise of power. It bets on the importance of showing a radical mismatch between discourses and school images. Therefore, the writing uses Foucault's thought as a toolbox and performs the work of a craftsman, exploding school images from paintings that place, at the center of their experiments, the questioning of their limits constituted as frames, forcing its subjects to a violent and forced adaptation. If Foucault painted in his genealogical writing the schools of power, it is possible to find, in parallel, a curious second painting in which the control technologies fail to imprint their totalizing machinations on the bodies. Emerges a Foucault painting school-canvas between discipline and illegalisms. Finally, it states that holes in school images summon more disputes in school diagrams.
