Abstract

This article discusses the relations between practices of school writing and modes of subjectivation by intertwining education, history and philosophy. In this sense, a bibliographical research was carried out by analysing academic documents about school writing and problematizing the regularities of writing as expression/revelation of either an idea or the self, as risk control, and operated in a certain speed. These regularities are marked by the perspective of will of truth and an original subject. These discursive practices are problematized by means of two analytical Foucauldian tools: fiction and the writing taken as a technique of the self. Both are considered as possibilities to regard writing as an exercise of thought and of the self, shifting from writing as expression/revelation to writing as transformation, addressing the modes of relation we assume with ourselves.

Keywords: school writing, fiction, subjectivation, genealogy.
