LIMA, Nádia Laguárdia de  and  REZENDE, Alice Oliveira. Power standard in schools and their effects on the subjects. Estilos clin. [online]. 2013, vol.18, n.1, pp. 34-52. ISSN 1415-7128.

Interviews with teachers from public schools showed a common discourse that there is a decline in the power and authority of schools and families, producing different symptoms at school. Based on Foucault's thought about power relations in schools and on psychoanalysis authors, we defend the hypothesis that there isn't a decline of power in schools today, but a new form of power, the normative one. Determined by the medical-scientific discourse, this power takes the subjects as objects of regulatory and corrective measures based on quantification and generalized classification of behaviors and deviations, which produce segregation.

Keywords : school; power; subjects; contemporary symptoms; psychoanalysis.
