Escolas alternativas e a constituição do sujeito do desejo
Resumo
Neste artigo discutimos a constituição do sujeito através dos processos educacionais vividos nas chamadas escolas alternativas. O foco de nossas reflexões está centrado na função de mediação da educação entre o sujeito, que se constitui simbolicamente, e a dimensão social, aqui denominada o Outro da cultura. Interessa-nos pensar o sujeito como uma categoria que se constitui por meio de processos identitários engendrados por discursos pedagógicos em meio às finas tramas do poder. A categoria de sujeito desejante tem papel fundamental nesta reflexão sobre o processo de subjetivação levado a efeito pelas práticas das chamadas escolas alternativas. O sujeito e seu desejo estão assim profundamente implicados na produção de identidades efetuadas pelas práticas educativas dessas escolas, tanto quanto das denominadas escolas tradicionais. Nesse sentido, as escolas alternativas não podem perder a percepção do risco de que seus projetos também possam operar como um refinado dispositivo de disciplinamento, de conformação, de constituição de subjetividades, que possam interessar ao sistema de produção flexível e à atual economia de mercado globalizado. É isto o que constitui a dimensão política nos embates no campo da educação; embates que as escolas alternativas não podem ignorar.

Alternative schools and the constitution of the subject of the desire
AbstractThis article discusses the subject constitution through educational processes experienced in so-called alternative schools. We are focused on education role as mediator between the subject simbolically constructed and its social dimension that we name here as the Other of culture. It's our interest thinking about the subject as a category made up through identity processes tissued by pedagogical discourses stitched on the thin webs of power. The desiring subject category has its fundamental role in this reflection about the subjectification process that is put on practice by the so-called alternative schools. The subject and its desire are deeply implicated in identities productions through educative practices of these schools as well as in schools wich are named traditional ones. Accordingly, alternative schools cannot miss the notion that their project may also operate as a refined device of discipline, of conformation and construction of subjectivities which are interesting to the flexible manufacturing system and to global market economics. That's what constitutes the political dimension of struggles in education fields, conflicts that alternative schools shouldn't deny.
