Contribute of the humanities to hegemonic practices in Colombian education based on the thinking of Michel Foucault

Abstract

Throughout the history of Colombian education, a series of mechanisms of vigilance and punishment have been sustained inside and outside the classroom, subject to form beings dominated by the profit of power and knowledge. It is thus that, hegemonic practices are persistently reproduced through the school, as a regular conduit of homogenization. These practices of punishment and surveillance have been disguised in the name of the supposed valuation of the dignity that becomes with the discourse of human rights no corporal punishment in the schools but other types of punishment in a way have been implemented hidden. In short, certain forms of power have been replaced by others. For example, you can pass to normalize the power under surveillance mechanisms, discipline, control punishment and discipline. To this end, an analysis will be carried out to guide the investigative process based on Michel Foucault's approaches. In this order of ideas is born the research question: How to consolidate the work of the humanities to rethink the hegemonic practices of vigilance and punishment that persist in the current Colombian education, based in toolbox of Michel Foucault?
