No. of bitstreams: 1 DANIELLA COUTO LÔBO.pdf: 1259519 bytes, checksum: 8834fc17e92269af8cda55706c196a8c (MD5) Previous issue date: 2017-09-12 / The present work is based on bibliographical research that has as its main theoretical referential the research made by French philosopher Michel Foucault. In such context, it attempts to aprehend the contributions made by the book Discipline and Punish: The Birth of the Prison (2013), as well as other studies concerning the disciplinary society, aiming to understand the discourses and practices used in contemporary educational institutions. To that end, it has been divided in three chapters. The first chapter attempts to establish a correlation between the nature of this philosopher's archeological and genealogical research with the topic of investigation, outlining the epistemological basis upon which Foucault grounds his studies from a historical point of view, a remarkably important fact in his work. In addition, this introductory chapter aims to explore the process of truth-searching, starting from the story of Oedipus, exposing the history of juridical thought and, consequently, the investigative and punitive forms of those who did not follow the rules under greek law, concluding with a few considerations regarding inquiry.The second chapter focuses on developing reflections regarding a part of Foucault's body of work focusing on the disciplinary society, under the assumption that there is no possibility of a society without punishment and control. Going through the changes on body treatment, from the torture of Damiens until the adoption of imprisonment as an universal punishment regime, follows that the customs of vigilance and control (panopticism) are present in all institutions and are not new, but rather preexisting at least from the Classical Age, not straying too far from education discourse.The last chapter presents the book Emile, or on Education (Rousseau, 2017) as a testimony on the disciplinary society, demonstrating that the ideal of “freedom” as exposed on this publication is paradoxical. Finally, in the conclusion it is deduced that in education discourses are ingrained elements of the Classical Age, not having these constructs therefore any novelty, for in modern education exist discourses and knowledge that work together to transform individuals into useful and docile subjects to the productive systems. / Este trabalho fundamenta-se numa pesquisa bibliográfica, tendo como principal referencial teórico as pesquisas do francês Michel Foucault. Nesse sentido, ela procura compreender as contribuições trazidas pela obra Vigiar e Punir (2013b), bem como outros por estudos que tratam da sociedade disciplinar, com vistas ao entendimento dos discursos e práticas existentes nas instituições educativas contemporâneas. Para tanto, ela foi desenvolvida em três capítulos. O primeiro capítulo busca estabelecer uma relação entre a natureza das pesquisas tanto arqueológicas como genealógicas deste filósofo com a temática da investigação, procurando pontuar em que bases epistemológicas Foucault assenta seus estudos do ponto de vista histórico, fato que ocupa posição marcante em suas produções. Além disso, este capítulo tenta apreender o processo de busca pela verdade, a partir da história de Édipo, evidenciando a história do pensamento jurídico e, consequentemente, as formas de investigação e punição daqueles que não seguiam as leis na perspectiva do direito grego, finalizando com algumas pontuações sobre o inquérito. O segundo capítulo dedica-se à elaborar uma reflexão sobre alguns trabalhos de Foucault em torno do tema acerca da sociedade disciplinar, partindo da premissa de que não existe a possibilidade de uma sociedade sem punição e controle. Percorrendo as mudanças no tratamento do corpo, desde o suplício de Damiens até a adoção do aprisionamento como regime punitivo universal, infere-se que as práticas de vigilância e de controle (panoptismo) estão presentes em todas as instituições e não são novas, preexistem pelo menos desde a Idade Clássica, não se distanciando dos discursos da educação. O último capítulo apresenta a obra Emílio ou da Educação (ROUSSEAU, 2017) como um testemunho da sociedade disciplinar, demostrando que o ideal de “liberdade” presente nesta obra é paradoxal. Por fim, conclui-se deduzindo que nos discursos da educação estão contidos elementos da Idade Clássica, não havendo, por isso, quaisquer novidades, porquanto na educação moderna encontram-se discursos e saberes que colaboram para a transformação dos sujeitos em indivíduos úteis e dóceis aos sistemas produtivos.

The present study focuses on the Vindelälven-Juhttátahkka Biosphere Reserve (BR) in Northern Sweden, which serves as an implementation site of UNESCO’s Man and the Biosphere (MAB) programme. In response to a series of environmental and social problems identified in the specific locale, the area inhabited by both “Swedish” and “Sami” people, is designed to serve henceforth as a learning site for sustainable development. Taking Michel Foucault’s work on discourse and power as a reference point, in this study we analyze the discourse that permeates life in the specific milieu, to understand how power operates in the BR and look for resistance. Following Foucault’s theorization of discourse, the study has employed Foucauldian Discourse Analysis (F.D.A.) on the empirical material, gathered from official documents and interviews with people in the BR. Our research has concluded that by employing its scientific programme, UNESCO’s discourse has managed to a large extent to construct in this place a reality that does not allow a future to be imagined outside of the context of sustainable development. This study has found its participants to be influenced by UNESCO’s discourse and has constrained them from perceiving present or imagining future realities that do not sustain the power of the Swedish state under the global neoliberal rule. Lastly, our research has illustrated that the participants who have been found to respond to their experiences have also been found to resist the discourse permeating the BR.
