Abstract
This article examines the representations of Escola Nova in the History of Brazilian Education, specifically the relations between liberalism and biopower. The production of consensus around the Escolanovista movement lies not only in the fact that it is a privileged periodization by historians of education, but also, and mainly, by the theoretical-interpretative matrices adopted in the studies, especially Marxism and the theory of representations. It starts here from the assumption that the “enthusiasm for education” of the Escolanovista movement implies an art of governing populations and its “pedagogical optimism” is guided by the idea of forming a New Man, a Homo oeconomicus.
