SORONDO, Juana. Emocionalización de la educación y radicalización de la derecha neoliberal: la imposición de un nuevo deber ser docente. Espac. blanco, Ser. indagaciones [online]. 2024, vol.34, n.1, pp.49-64. ISSN 1515-9485.  http://dx.doi.org/https://doi.org/10.37177/unicen/eb34-392.

The aim of this paper is to analyse how Emotional Education (EE) (re)configures the meanings of teachers' work, within the context of the therapeutisation of education and a radicalisation of the neoliberal paradigm in education. To this end, it focuses on the analysis of interviews with educators in the Metropolitan Area of Buenos Aires, which has revealed a tendency to blame teachers for educational problems, which leads to a demand for training in the acquisition of emotional competencies considered essential for tackling them. The teaching task is increasingly turning towards interventions centred on the emotional, from a therapeutic perspective. Research warns about the emotionalisation of the teaching role, which reinforces processes of individualisation and atomisation in the educational field, thus legitimising the neoliberal capitalist social order.

Keywords : emotional education; neoliberal paradigm in education; therapeutisation of education; teaching work.
