THE NOTION OF POWER FROM FOUCAULT: A EDUCOMMUNICATIONAL PERSPECTIVE

In the Human Sciences business, the sole understanding of the social reality building process is prerogative. This assumption deals with the reflection of the material conditions of social life in recognition of the symbolic, personal and collective elaborations. To achieve this, you have to account that there is not an only rational from which all dimensions are though in the current complexity, this opens ground for the processual analysis for all social institutions. Thus, the social production of knowledge can be examined from the plot itself communication -modes and agents of emission, reception, interpretation, relationships and symbolic processes- which constitute the cultural, closely linked with the articulation and propagation of the actual speech, with the forms of production, reproduction, distribution and circulation of knowledge. Since that education is nowadays, construction of meanings that has communication as their foundation. Is merely in the crossing of all the devices developed by the thought of Foucault, where the recognition of all the teorical-metodological used instruments is proposed to education research, in its communicative dimension. Approach modifies the hermeneutic analysis of construction and reconstruction of social entities and representations that lay meaning and significance to social patterns and practices. This is not to see the human being as an object, but as a change factor for all the social system, by discovering and describing the strategic knowing and power systems that configured the subjectivity that crosses and covers all education practice, communicative and social.
