ABSTRACT
This article deals with questions that articulate biopolitics to education in the context of societies of control. In order to delimit this broad and complex thematic, it restricts its intent to identifying, describing, articulating and problematizing four vectors considered strategic to the assemblage between biopolitics and education, above all, to the government and to the regulation of conduct in Contemporaneity. To this end, it starts from the premise that, since the advent of a neoliberal governmentality, both in its ordoliberal character and in its American nuance, a broad and intensive process of entrepreneurship of society was set in motion. Among other things, this process had the effect of reorganizing and redefining the meaning of education since Modernity. Such transformations refer to a new educational-entrepreneurial sort of mediation that operates through a simultaneous articulation between performance, management, visibility and new information and communication technologies (ICTs). On the other hand, in theoretical-methodological terms, the arguments are developed and linked in close dialogue with formulations of authors such as Michel Foucault, Gilles Deleuze, Richard Sennett, Alain Ehremberg, Vincent de Gaulejac, Christian Laval and Paula Sibilia, among others.
