Résumé:
This paper presents some thoughts on governance practices in the Brazilian liberal education
and the organization of the school system from the perspective of governmentality in
Foucault, during the twentieth century. Thus, the theoretical framework used to undertake the
analysis includes some authors / the educational area, as well as attempts to link them to the discussion with some concepts developed by Foucault on liberalism, governmentality, powerknowledge,
subjectivity and education. Education, in this perspective becomes one
governamentality apparatus that builds speeches and visibilities that subjectify subjects in
different ways. In Brazil, the liberal education combined with the desire to modernize bodies
and another company, engendering forms of government to operate on the social spheres,
cultural, political, ethical and economically in the lives and bodies.
