However, government dispositive do not operate as monolithic processes that flow directly from neoliberal policies to the population. From a critical and situated philosophical perspective, the article proposes opening a theoretical-practical discussion to rearticulate and think of the educational territory as a space of affective variability. It is shown through concrete pedagogical practices that these dispositives are complex assemblages in everyday practice that are subtly and capillary modulated through an affective governmentality deployed by educational authority. In this tension of governmentality, the findings question classical perspectives of power in the pedagogical relations of the socio-educational sphere, indicating that there is a way of escape and flight from the subtle governmental affective modulations. By reconfiguring the territory and the school, a discussion opens on socio-educational interventions whose experimental materiality gives rise to new forms of pedagogical relationship in educational territories that are not imposed, but rather emerge from the interaction and rhythms of the affective and inventive practices of those who inhabit them. La gubernamentalidad es un concepto fértil para pensar la operación del poder, el neoliberalismo y las subjetivaciones, tanto en el ámbito de las ciencias sociales como de la filosofía educativa. Sin embargo, los dispositivos gubernamentales no operan como procesos monolíticos que fluyen directamente desde las políticas neoliberales hacia la población. Desde una perspectiva filosófica crítica y situada, el artículo propone abrir una discusión teórico-práctica para rearticular y pensar el territorio educativo como un espacio de variabilidad afectiva. Se muestra mediante prácticas pedagógicas concretas que estos dispositivos son ensamblajes complejos en la práctica cotidiana, modulados de manera sutil y capilar a través de una gubernamentalidad afectiva desplegada por la autoridad educativa. En esta tensión de la gubernamentalidad, los hallazgos cuestionan las perspectivas clásicas de poder en las relaciones pedagógicas de lo socioeducativo, señalando que existe una vía de escape y fuga a las sutiles modulaciones afectivas gubernamentales. Al reconfigurar el territorio y la escuela, se abre una discusión sobre intervenciones socioeducativas cuya materialidad experimental da lugar a nuevas formas de relación pedagógica en territorios educativos que no se imponen, sino que emergen de la interacción y ritmos de las prácticas afectivas e inventivas de quienes lo habitan. application/pdf https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/iice/article/view/16228 10.34096/iice.n57.16228 spa Subsecretaría de publicaciones.

description Governmentality is a fertile concept for thinking about the operation of power, neoliberalism and subjectivations, both in the field of social sciences and educational philosophy.

From a critical and situated philosophical perspective, the article proposes opening a theoretical-practical discussion to rearticulate and think of the educational territory as a space of affective variability. It is shown through concrete pedagogical practices that these dispositives are complex assemblages in everyday practice that are subtly and capillary modulated through an affective governmentality deployed by educational authority. In this tension of governmentality, the findings question classical perspectives of power in the pedagogical relations of the socio-educational sphere, indicating that there is a way of escape and flight from the subtle governmental affective modulations.
