THE FORMATIVE PROCESS OF SUBJECT: GOVERNMENTALITY AND SUBJECTIVATION MODES AS SINGULARIZATION PROCESS FROM THE SELF´S CARE

Abstract

The present study aims to investigate the relationship between the notions of subject, governmentality and subjectivation in Foucaultian thought. Initially, it discusses how the subject's formative process is linked to the power relations from the educational technologies. Then, it shows how the subject can be constituted, while at the same time that he dominated also creates modes of subjectivation from techniques of self. Later, it deals with the Foucaultian notions of self practices, which imply the assumption of the notions of self care and parrhesia. The theoretical contribution of our study is based on authors such as: Foucault (2004; 2012; 2013a; 2013b), Deleuze (1992; 2005), Aspis (2011), Pagni (2011; 2012), Kohan (2000; 2008), Muchail (2004; 2011), Freitas (2012) among others. Finally, the study shows that through the creation of modes of subjectivation we can experience another way of living and resisting by seeking in the techniques of this transformation.
