Resumo: This paper is intended to analyze how the concept of “normality”, divided in normal and abnormal, has been taking shape in our time, based on Canguilhem’s and Foucault’s views. By analyzing the theory, I recognize evidence of a process of biologization of life which revisits itself and takes new shapes over the last years through the process of medicalization. Medicalization is the current controlling device and cannot be boiled down to prescribing medication, but we can also think of it as a gear, as a machine that transforms life into objects. As evidence of this analysis, a school situation intended to illustrate the concepts addressed is presented. The aforementioned situation was observed at the Municipal School System of Porto Alegre. Scholastic discourse generates different ways of acting and living in the school, but is it intended to do so?

A partir da perspectiva teórica de análise, reconheço evidências de um processo de biologização do viver que se reatualiza e toma novos contornos nos últimos anos através do processo de medicalização. A medicalização é o dispositivo de controle atual e não se reduz ao ato de prescrever medicação, mas podemos pensá-la também como engrenagem, como máquina que transforma a vida em objeto. Como evidência de análise é descrita uma cena escolar com a intenção de operar com os conceitos trabalhados. A Cena em questão foi colhida no contexto da Rede Municipal de Ensino de Porto Alegre. O discurso escolar produz modos de agir e de viver na escola, mas tomaação intencional sobre eles?Palavras-chave: Normalidade; Educação especial; Medicalização.Universidade Federal de Santa Maria2012-11-09info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttp://periodicos.ufsm.br/educacaoespecial/article/view/687410.5902/1984686X6874Special Education Magazine; Revista Educação Especial, v. 25, n. 44, set./dez. 2012; 483-498Revista de Educación Especial; Revista Educação Especial, v. 25, n. 44, set./dez. 2012; 483-498Revista Educação Especial; Revista Educação Especial, v. 25, n. 44, set./dez. 2012; 483-4981984-686Xreponame:Revista Educação Especial (UFSM)instname:Universidade Federal de Santa Maria (UFSM)instacron:UFSMporhttp://periodicos.ufsm.br/educacaoespecial/article/view/6874/pdf_2Freitas, Cláudia Rodrigues deinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2013-09-23T13:19:11Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/6874Revistahttps://periodicos.ufsm.br/educacaoespecialPUBhttp://cascavel.ufsm.br/revistas/ojs-2.2.2/index.php/educacaoespecial/oaieducacaoespecial@smail.ufsm.br||clenioberni@gmail.com1984-686X1808-270Xopendoar:2013-09-23T13:19:11Revista Educação Especial (UFSM) - Universidade Federal de Santa Maria (UFSM)false
