This thesis challenges the compulsory quality of preschool education in Brazil, focusing on the institutionalization of children from a young age and trying to correlate early childhood education, governmentality and the refinement of government techniques. We understand childhood is not a natural fact, but a socially and culturally produced event, organized by powerful regulations that establish ways in which to care for and educate children, be it in the family or in other spheres, such as school. Certainly, the actions of early childhood education encourage processes of subjectivation, be it by determining, regulating and controlling the behavior of children through techniques of domination, be it by encouraging them to operate according to established standards and therefore generating resilient behaviors, immobilizing the children on papers, silencing them. Thus, in light of Michel Foucault s studies, we explore the practices that move along the lines of the institutionalization of children, establishing relationships between the fields of knowledge, the types of normativity, and the forms of subjectivity in early childhood education. The genealogical analysis proposed by Foucault and Lourau s institutional analysis were chosen as methodologies in order to understand ongoing processes, thus challenging daily practices, raising the visibility of different ways of everyday doing and perceiving resistance as potency. We understand there is a challenge in the creation of spaces for discussion; spaces which are not constructed by the subject of discourse, but where what is seen as a lack in the others, can be seen as potency. We need, therefore, to establish border regions of unique existence, of lived experience, anarchic existence of every child; not just spaces where capturing, commanding and silencing prevail. Consequently, "lines of flight", as defined by Deleuze and Guattari, rise up as a possibility when the horizon is "a non-fascist life", as proposed by Foucault, for the actions and the plural knowledge on and in early childhood education.
