Program (new) More education, governmentality, intersectoriality device, self-governance
This doctoral dissertation aims at describing and analysing the (New) Program More Education`s discourse. The main assumption is that this Program turns out to be a way to govern students subjects nowadays. The starting point which support the initial quest is: How the student subject that undergo an integral education formation is objectified within the scope of this (New) Program More Education discourse? Based in concepts such as governmentality and dispositive elaborated by Michel Foucault, this doctoral dissertation analyses how the (New) Program More Education becomes a governmentalization both for individuals and for Brazilian society as a whole. Listed as specific objectives are: a) to identify and to describe strategies and practices that allowed the Program to act productively over the students subjects; b) to describe how these mechanisms operate by producing what types of subjects; c) to describe and to analyse the different knowledge (competencies, skills, values, aptitudes) and experiences that are acknowledged as valid to operate the program. This doctoral dissertation shows that a singular dispositive – the intersection one – by acting on schools spaces as intersection practices, based on longer journeys, whenever linked to other contemporaries dispositive, such as the media`s pedagogic dispositive, contributes decisively for the building of a provident cautious quiet subject. To invest on students subjects trying to develop their capacities, skills, aptitudes so that in the future they may self-govern themselves is a way to manage social risk thus contributing for the State to attain the least social cost for overcoming social problems.
