AGUIRRE, Elías Gonzalo. Governmentality, Intelligibility Grid and Sociological Research in Educational Policy: Theoretical-Analytical Notes from the Toolbox. Astrolabio [online]. 2023, n.31, pp.14-14. ISSN 1668-7515.  http://dx.doi.org/10.55441/1668.7515.n31.38796.

From the tradition of governmentality studies and their resonances in political sociologies and education, this article recovers the current debates around the notions of governmentality, government and biopolitics developed in the vast work of Michel Foucault to link them with the discussions on the object of study and the theoretical field of educational policy, emphasizing the analytical potential offered by its intelligibility grid for the educational phenomena of post-disciplinary societies. In this line, this work outlines a series of epistemological, theoretical and methodological proposals produced from a recently completed empirical research work of a descriptive and qualitative nature. In view of these purposes, interdisciplinary dialogues are produced while some classic and traditional assumptions of educational policy are tensioned and discussed, to incite an analytic renewal that makes it possible to study the social relationships of self-government and the government of the others, as historical articulations between knowledge, power and subjectivity. Finally, some indications and proposals for the sociological approach of contemporary educational phenomena are offered, which expose the need to produce certain epistemological displacements in the theoretical field of educational policy, as well as invite the reconfiguration of its objects of study within a poststructuralist framework.
