Atravessamentos entre a escola e o conselho tutelar: garantia de direitos e práticas de controle

Abstract

The present study aims to analyze the crossings in the relationship between the school and the child protection agency which is a non-judicial body created from the Children and Adolescents Statute, with the function of guaranteeing the rights of children and adolescents. Among such rights, there is the education which ultimately require all children to attend school and that punishes their families if this does not happen. Since then, mapping the everyday between these two equipments and discuss their practices by a herd path as proposed by Foucault, it is interesting to think over: why the right to attend the school becomes an imposition? What does it produce? And is Tutelary Rights or Warrants a control device? The answers to these questions were thought throughout this work, although it is not intended here to provide definitive answers to such questions, because the most important is the process of thinking and reflecting that causes changes in the object of study that is being drawn during the research and the researcher himself. Thus, the school and the Guardianship Council act very often in control of the population producing a subjectivity that ultimately define ways of being, thinking and feeling. However, the analysis of the tensions between these devices and their users reveals the potency of these spaces that can be reinterpreted by other logics that break with the capitalistic subjectivity and produce displacements and other possibilities of collective practices that enhance life.
