At this work we present an investigation about some of the conditions that make possible the applications of the Distance Education in Brazil in order to discover the potential of this teaching/learning method that occur through the use of computers linked to the Internet. However, we choose to adopt an immanent perspective in research, which includes a multiplicity of issues that cross the Education as a whole, and not just its distance operation mode. We build some kind of historical cartography of the Distance Education practices in our country considering their political, economical, educational and, above all, ethical lines of constitution. We have reviewed some of the impacts on Distance Education in our country that are effect of the resentment that comes from the continuous and endless process of globalization, which affects different segments of our society, focusing in the teaching/learning contemporary practices. Facing this conjecture, we move forward, verifying how can we extract potencies of the weakness which are imposed to us by the neoliberal policies of nowadays. We work with the support of the studies of Deleuze and Foucault regarding to the movement that goes from the Societies of Discipline to the Societies of Control, mixed with the arrangements and alternatives proposed by the event of the Cognitive Capitalism. The conditions of experience and production of meaning(s) that are possible in Distance Education processes are investigated through the production of the concepts of distance, speed and proximity, when we assume the position between the two usual sides at Distance Education discussions that are composed in one part by enthusiasts and in other by its exagerated critics. We work still with some conceptualizations for the term network, considering it as a technique paraphernalia that enables computer connections, allowing the communication through the Internet, and also as a way of collectives mobilization that seek to multiply the meanings in their practices. We believe in the inherent capacity of the networks to considerably increase the power of action of the collectives involved in distance teaching/learning practices, through the implementation of strategies and micropolitical tactics, under the inspiration on the analysis about the process of the invention of everyday life practices presented in the work of Michel de Certeau.
