O novo ensino médio e o papel da filosofia como antidespótica: o currículo como estratégia política

Abstract

In this article - based on the theoretical assumptions of Michel Foucault - we seek to understand how the implementation of the New High School curriculum is presented discursively through the advertising widely promoted on the website of the Ministry of Education - MEC. We intend to detect the discourse of promotion deriving from governmental instances about this curriculum to be able to analyze it as a political and power strategy. For this purpose, we focus our attention on the discourse that retakes the economic man (FOUCAULT, 2008 [1979]). Moreover, we also seek to analyze the erasure of the Philosophy discipline within this New High School curriculum. Our attempt to understand such erasure is based on Foucault's (2010 [1978]) postulate that says that philosophers in Western societies are eminently opposed to all forms of oppression.
