Teacher-student interaction as a practice of teacher subjectivation

Abstract

This paper aims to discuss the discursivization of the teacher-student interaction and its relation to the formation of subjectivityies of teachers. This is part of a larger research that recognizes a battle of knowledge and power around educational issues in Brazil, which has intensified in the last five years and has resulted in the production of a vast archive about education, within which several processes of teacher subjectivation have also been constituted. For this, it is founded on a discursive perspective, grounded on the theoretical assumptions launched by Michel Foucault, mobilizing notions such as discourse, truth and device, in an enunciative series composed of texts that circulated in journalistic websites and social networks. The analyses so far indicate that the interaction with students appears, in the discourses, as a central element of teaching practice. Such practice is produced in different devices, such as school, academic, journalistic, among others, and contributes to a subjectivation of the ideal teacher as a welcoming subject in relation to their students.
