(THINKING):
Institutions (d) and affects in school spacetime
School, Discipline, Power, Curriculum, Cartography
In this paper I discuss and try to problematize some modes of subjectivation present in school
timespaces. Starting from personal narratives and going through narratives of adolescents
existent in the school context or recent graduates, teachers from public schools of Basic
Education and also from State Universities and Federals through a course called Abnormals, I
try to map the floors washed to transfigure them into fluffy, airy. While I try to build the
research, I face the emergence of a Covid-19 pandemic and how the coexistence with this
disease unraveled ways of subjectivation that were noticed as fatal to some professionals. Then
demonstrating some difficulties encountered, I look into Foucauldian studies for elements to
visualize the school's configurations and then think about possible reorganizations of
educational work. In dialogues with Deleuze, Fischer, Gallo, Hur, Kohan, Larossa, Masschelein
and Simons, Maldonado and Veiga-Neto I find loopholes to think and enhance the managing
of the life-school relations, also looking at non-formal curricular constitutions, but evident in
the corridors, coordinations, directorates, secretariats and teachers rooms. From these
cartographic essays I try to think of other professional ethics and aesthetics, in education and
life skills as well.
