A aula é um corte críptico

Abstract

The text parts from an analysis of the contemporary political diagram described by thinkers such as Michel Foucault, Gilles Deleuze and Shoshana Zuboff in order to try to situate the school, its action and its political effects in reality. To this end, it takes the class as the basic element of this action, arguing that, based on Deleuze and Guattari's idea of an abstract machine, the class operates as a cut, in the philosophical sense of the term. Thus, the article proposes a more restricted conception of the classroom, recovering its original meaning and distancing it from neoliberal influences that promote individualistic and market logic. It does so by analyzing three specific cuts – temporal, spatial and relational – made by the specific configuration of the class, thus trying to delimit its territory. Based on this study and supported by other philosophers of education such as Masschelein, Simons, Biesta and Arendt, the article seeks to demonstrate how the educational unit class can, even more than ever, be an important interface on the front line of the biopolitical captures that, based on visibilization as an operative mode, contaminate all the territories of the contemporary world. And how the class, as we describe it, can do this insofar as it creates the conditions for cryptic action.

Keywords: class, cryptics, cut, biopolitics, school, heterotopy, heterochrony, heterodrasy.
