CONTEMPORARY EDUCATIONAL DISCURSIVENESS: AN EXPLORATORY APPROACH

Abstract

This study aims to analyze contemporary educational discursiveness by an exploratory immersion in 1,165 interviews given by prominent figures in education and other related fields. These interviews were published in ten Brazilian magazines of educational publicization between 1986 and 2019. Based on Foucauldian theory, the study mobilized two strategies to analyze the data regarding the interviewees and the subjects addressed, with emphasis on cataloging some key statements found during the research procedures. The results of this study show the circulation of certain normative rationalities in the wake of multiple calls to professionals, generating unsuspected effects on the educational ethos.
