Education, environmental and culture: alchemical of knowledge in the control society

Through the notion of pedagogic regime, we investigate the articulation between epistemology and politics in two operational axes: one concerning the body discipline related to the needs of the industrialization process, the other concerning the subject's autonomy related to the formation of the national States. Educational historians set, on the core of school practices, the citizen's pedagogic inscription as a political citizen endowed with rights and obligations; this inscription responded to the inherent demands of the democratic societies' own conceptual perspectives. The alchemy notion, proposed by Popkewitz, was used to comprehend how pedagogic practices translate discipline knowledge into psychological subjects inseparable from wider political contexts; such aspect offers the pedagogy a strategic dimension that must be considered when analyzing pedagogical investments in present-days. Considering the characteristics that go through current social practices, the sort of environmental intervention (Foucault) and the logic of control (Deleuze), Education, Environment and Culture, are approached as domains of objects upon which pedagogical investments are carried out nowadays.
