Resumo
The construction of this paper aims at discussing how the
school develops strategies to discipline the student’s body. In order to develop our
research, we focused on the genealogical assumptions of Foucault’s studies. In
Discipline and Punish, we have searched foundations so that we could observe how
his conceptions of disciplinary power open up possibilities of analysis of the
individuals’ taming actions. Two of the "resources for proper taming" presented by
Foucault are particularly useful for understanding the visibility that the bodies are
exposed to: the examination and panoptism. We have also resorted to Deleuze in
order to reflect on the possibility that discipline has fallen into crisis since the
1950s as well as see how the disciplinary societies combine together positions of
control of the human being as species. We have observed how educational
institutions keep on disciplining, not only the students’ bodies, but also individuals’brains in such a way that they internalize integration and exclusionary behaviors
which are proper to a controlling society. Our research, in public educational
institutions from the contryside of Goiás, was able to capture indicative aspects of
a biopolitical context that imposes itself. The surveillance device enables a
controlling action concerning the act of wearing earrings, long hair or caps for
boys. It is also forbidden to wear short clothes and excessive props for the girls.
Even the physiological needs undergo norms so that these young people come into
acceptable standards. However, the actions of discipline are not accepted
peacefully, because the resistance always allows the appearance of continuous
ruptures.
