Language policies in the imaginary constitution of school

Abstract

In this paper, it is aimed at reflecting on the Ethics and Politics of Languages, seeking to (re)build the history of schooling in the East, from a historic-discursive position. This position allows understanding, by the history’s own conditions of production, the discursive formation and the discursivities that put in operation the imaginary of school the way we conceive it nowadays. Therefore, we have made a discursive (re)reading of files, to give visibility to the produced knowledge about School, Subject and Language which shaped and gave identity to a citizen, emerging a counterpoint with the historiography romanced about school as academic space.
