Abstract

Considering the allegation of a widespread educational crisis taking place in the present, this investigation is dedicated to exploring the assumption of an unparalleled expansionism of educative practices in the social field, a process which is characterized by an increasing conversion of the relationship between individuals into objects susceptible to pedagogical knowledge and intervention. With the aim of inspecting this argumentative horizon, 930 papers evoking educational out-of-school themes formed the research corpus, all of them published in 34 national academic journals through the period 1944-2015. This discursive production was analyzed according to a double theoretical-methodological approach inspired in Michel Foucaults thought. On the one hand, by examining the texts published between 1996 and 2015, the investigation attempted to dimension the borderline movements in the contemporary pedagogical field by means of an inventory of practice and knowledge focused on out-of-school experiences, the latter considered within the wide scale the archive thus built enabled to outline. On the other hand, in accordance with a specific approach of the Brazilian journal Revista Brasileira de Estudos Pedagógicos, which comprised all the issues published from its foundation, in 1944, to 2015, the intention was to circumscribe the contexts of emergence/provenance regarding the enlargement of educational realms. As an analytic outcome of the investigation, what is offered is an adversative perspective before the current discussions on processes identified as social educationalization, pedagogization and scholarization, mostly by virtue of an intense permeability of school practices to current demands. Thus, the assumption that contemporary subjectification processes would promote a marked educabilitization of the civil experience, the latter in congruence with certain veridiction games based on a strong pedagogical-schooling emphasis.
