Inspired by Elizabeth Povinelli’s essay Geontologies: a requiem to late liberalism, this paper problematizes the current conditions of neoliberal governance, through an expansion of the Foucaultian concept of biopolitics. The intention is to rethink the educational processes on the margins of biontology deployed by the entrance into the Anthropocene to disable the imaginary of carbon. This is a speculative essay organized in two axes. First, the paper reflects the conditions under which certain populations and, more specifically, certain bodies suffer from differential exposure to injustice, violence and death. Then, discuss the possibility of activating other ways of life capable of resisting the neoliberal arts of government. In the limit, the purpose is to indicate some reasons why the pedagogical field has inflated the issue of education as a selfenterprise and deflated the concern with self-care and care of the others, defending an opening of educational theories to other figures and subjects of education as part of a powerful criticism of the excesses caused by the imaginary of carbon in our systems of thought.
