Biopolítica e pandemia: o estudo da governamentalidade e o impacto na educação infantil

Abstract

This Undergraduate Thesis (TCC) is the result of the research entitled “Conceptualizing Biopolitics and Pandemic 2020/2023”, which analyzed the impact of the post-pandemic scenario caused by the coronavirus through theses and dissertations published in 2023 on the CAPES portal (Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel), focusing on Early Childhood Education in connection with Biopolitics and the COVID-19 pandemic. The methodological approach involved rhizomatic and bibliographical perspectives with both qualitative and quantitative characteristics, as well as a literature review, having as its main theoretical framework Foucauldian studies and concepts related to biopolitics implemented in contemporary Modern States under neoliberalism. This report was developed as an outcome of a research project within the Institutional Program for Scientific Initiation Scholarships (PIBIC), at the Center of Education (CEDU). The research continues the previous PIBIC cycle, supervised by the same professor, and reveals how the COVID-19 pandemic highlights the need to adopt care as an ethical dimension of teaching practice in defense of quality education for young learners and teacher education.
