Escola e a formula o de políticas lingüísticas

This article is a result of my reflections while integrant of a Project called “History of linguistic ideas”. Affiliated to a discursive conception of language, we focus on issues relevant to ethics and languages politics and, among other aims, tried to (re) construct the history of schooling in the West, from a historical position. A route allow us to understand, by the conditions of production of its own history, the discursive formation and discoursivities that make the imagination of the school work as currently designed. Thus, it took a discursive (re) reading of the files in order to give visibility to knowledge generated on School and subject, which gave form and identity to a citizen, making to emerge, in this way, a counterpoint to the romantic historiography that designs School as the academic space.
