This article deals with the current processes of subjectivation of the government of freedoms, analyzed through the discourse of teaching excellence in the educational field. In this sense, fundamental problematization nodes were located, which, from the perspective of the history of the present time, allow us to think about the conditions of possibility that have led to the work of the teacher subject having a central place as part of the economic growth project. From the notion of governmentality, the transformations in the processes of subjectivation of teachers in the context of current policies of teaching excellence in Colombia were analyzed.

The research results that I present in this article refer to the analysis of four rationalities of government that were deployed in Colombia with the radicalization of the war in 2002 and during the rest of the decade: polarizing the conflict, guaranteeing sovereignty, managing a population favorable to war, and securing transnational investment. I recognize the normalization mechanisms of war and the management of its acceptability in public opinion, as a singular form of government based on a heterogeneous archive of historical practices, which do not focus exclusively on the State. Finally, I define the scopes of this analysis and propose some of the challenges we currently face in the country as to advance in the final end to the war. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Public policies subscribe into specific governmentality forms, as long as they are linked to certain government projects. Although these policies may have an instrumental role in the legitimation of a state domination project, their effectivity cannot be taken for granted. They take social forms depending on the particular contexts where they are implemented, while also having different readings and interpretations made by those who make them and the ones the policies are made for. In the light of the case study of the colonization and rural development programs executed between 1960 and 1980 by the Caja Agraria and the Incora in the Caquetá Foothill, we will see how the practices used by the settlers and public officers involved in the implementation of these programs may end up subverting their initial purposes, making them take unexpected turns.

This article discusses the way the discourses and counter-discourses have been used in the construction of frames on behalf of the actor-network, Process of Black Communities, in its dialogue with the Colombian government within the framework of the hearings of the Inter-american Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) between 2007 and 2013. Theoretically, the notions of biopower, biopolitics, governmentality and discursive practices developed by Michel Foucault are addressed , as well as the theory of frames by Snow and Bendford. Methodologically, audios and videos of the hearings before the Commission are analyzed. In the analysis of the interaction between State and Afro petitioners there were identified frames, discourses and counter-discourses related to racism, territoriality, victimization of afro populations and women, and armed conflict. The findings identify frames around the issue of human rights, aimed at harnessing the discursive and political opportunities opened by the Commission to influence the decisions of the state actor.
