Quando os cadáveres falam o silêncio da educação: derivas errantes para retraçar os deslocamentos críticos de Michel Foucault

Abstract

In view of the centrality of biopolitical strategies and their articulation with the processes of domestication of bodies in the scope of research, we have a speculative hypothesis that the clinic remained, in Foucauldian studies, an enigmatic notion. Foreclosure that would indicate the attachment of the field of Philosophy of Education to the analytics of finitude as a sign of the anthropocentrism that still fuels dreams of pastoral emancipation in the world of education. In materializing the hypothesis, we highlight Foucault's analysis of death as an indication of a new politics of truth, in which the Covid-19 pandemic has repositioned the relationship between space/language/death and revealed that critical theories, in the field of education, fall short of experiencing life as assemblage and relationship. Upon revisiting the work, perhaps experiencing a less hermeneutic relationship with Foucault's thought and taking back, from a different semiotics of bodies, the forces that take hold of phenomena in their relations of exteriority.
