Na maquinária escolar e a engrenagem clínica normaliza sujeitos infantis

Abstract

In this dissertation, I have problematized the discourses that constitute truths about school subjects submitted to clinical phonoaudiological practices. I have examined sets of utterances from documents produced in the clinic about these child subjects. My study takes a post-structuralist perspective, articulated with studies carried out by Michel Foucault. I have used the notions of discourse, power, normalization, and, close to the latter, correction, as analytical tools. The corpus of this research comprises clinical documents: summary of assessments, summary of anamnesis, and reports that I have taken as monuments because of the materiality that produces them. I have considered fragments of the materials selected, distributing them in two broad units of meaning that I have been able to perceive in the dispersion of the utterances. In the first unit, the deviation and the deviate, I have seen the documents as techniques of both power and clinical knowledge, which produce diagnoses of the school subjects b
