NOGUERA-RAMIREZ, Carlos Ernesto. A crisis of education as a crisis of goverment. On the exercise of the human animal in neoliberal times. Rev. colomb. educ. [online]. 2013, n.65, pp.43-60. ISSN 0120-3916.

The purpose of this paper is to present a set of conceptual tools that allow us to understand the set of transformations that would be determining the current crisis in education. This text starts from the thesis: contemporary educational practices can be understood as a symptom of the crisis of the disciplines (in the sense of Foucault) and at the same time as a response to that crisis. Also, such educational practices can be better understood if we analyze them in the light of the notion of neoliberal governmentality. Using concepts of Nietzsche, Foucault and Sloterdijk and taking as examples two fictional characters (Emilio by Rousseau and Bart from the TV series The Simpsons), the author examines both the erasure of the role of adult and education as the appearance of an ambiguous role of permanent learners belonging practices of neoliberal government.

Palavras-chave : Education in crisis; government crisis; neoliberal governmentality; discipline.
