A CRISE DE AUTORIDADE NA EDUCAÇÃO E O DISCURSO (NEO)LIBERAL

Abstract

The considered study it has for objective to investigate problematic referring to the crisis of authority in the education, being been this resultant, amongst other factors, of the speech (neo) liberal. For in such a way, we appeal to the reflections carried through for Hannah Arendt in two of its works: The crisis of the education , thematic gift in the book Between the Past and the Future, dated of 1958 and the other work meets in the book the condition human being, also of 1958, more specifically the prologue and the chapter destined to the quarrel of the concept of Action . In the first text, Arendt points the pragmatism and modern psychology as estimated that they collaborate for this crisis, no longer as it argues the effect of science and the technique in the modern society. The elements detached for Arendt, make possible to extend us reflections to think the current pedagogical speech about the context (neo) liberal, mainly in what it says respect to the constructivism, knowing to them psychological and the politics of Education to Distance. Such elements will be read and interpreted, in this work, having as reference the Foucault s theories on speech to be able and to know. This because, Foucault to be able and to know if intercross in the citizen, that is its product concrete, being the speech the promoter of this joint. Thus, to be able, to know and speech if they constitute as authority. In this manner, the authority is related to the articulation, therefore the speech alone will be authorized e, consequently efficient, he will be recognized as such, and if that one that pronounced will have the recognition and the legitimation of the social group in which this citizen if inserts. In this context, we can say that the crisis of authority in the education is related the crisis to know carried for the professor, provoked for the discursive effect of modern psychology, the pragmatism and the liberal speech, that rebirth contemporarily in the psychological speeches and of the constructivist pedagogy, captured for the speech (neo) liberal. It fits to stand out that we will take as theoretical support of this study, especially, two works of Foucault where the author theorizes on speech: The order of the speech (1970-2006) e What and an author? published in Said and writings III (1969- 2006).
