Poder e subjetividade: imagens da soberania e da liderança empresarial em um decreto presidencial.

This paper focuses on school practices, from a discursive approach of a presidential decree regarding a plan of educational goals. The theoretical perspective refers to a parallel between the concept of discursive practice (Maingueneau, 1997) and the concept of power formulated by M. Foucault (2002, 2006). The analysis points to the relevance of both notions as a key to the denaturalization of the social, highlighting the simultaneous production of language and world. The paper also explores the effects of the emergence of the image of business leadership in teacher's work, on the basis of the analysis of the goals of the decree. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
