Summary: | This paper analyzes the relationship between the postulates of the power and
Colombian education, particularly the correspondence between labor training and the
reproduction of the established ideological order. The type of research is the critical ana
-
lyzes of the discourse, through a dialogical method among power theories
of Foucault (1988, 2002) and Althusser (1969, 1971, 1988). Oppositions of these
two theories about power arise because they have been thought within the institutional
frameworks, such as schools (Foucault, 2002) and the unavoidable relationship with
political ideologies and policies (Althusser, 1988). Disparities and confrontations among
these two theories on power are shown. The conclusion shows the power relations be-
tween the Colombian State and the public school scenarios, as well as the way in which
power devices work in these scenarios (Jäger, 2003), always from the possibility of human
emancipation to transform its environment.
