Abstract

LEMOS, Flávia Cristina Silveira. Education in the distance on society of control. Estud. pesqui. psicol. [online]. 2009, vol.9, n.3, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1808-4281.

The intention of this article is to investigate the new technologies in the field of education, in particular the idea of "long distance education", offered through expanding Internet platforms, which, in Brazil, are strongly influenced by public and private universities. We discuss these modalities of education based on the analysis of Foucault and Deleuze on "control societies", and that of Virilio on the political control of capitalism via the management of velocity. We claim that the velocity of management of information and its commoditization sold to "lean" companies after consulting experts on marketing is a strategy of control and broad diffusion which conveys a technical-instrumental education for those who lack information for their lives.

Keywords : Education; Capitalism of speculation; Societies of control speedy and policy; long distance education.
