| description | 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. |

Desde la tradición de los estudios de gubernamentalidad y sus resonancias en las sociologías políticas y de la educación, en este artículo se recuperan los debates vigentes en torno a las nociones de gubernamentalidad, gobierno y biopolítica desarrolladas en la vasta obra de Michel Foucault y sus continuadoras/es para enlazarlas con las discusiones sobre el objeto de estudio y el campo teórico de la política educativa, enfatizando el potencial analítico que ofrece su grilla de inteligibilidad para los fenómenos educativos propios de las sociedades posdisciplinares. En esa dirección, este trabajo esboza una serie de propuestas epistemológicas, teóricas y metodológicas producidas a partir de una investigación empírica recientemente finalizada (Aguirre, 2022), de corte descriptivo y de carácter cualitativo. En vistas a estos propósitos, se producen diálogos interdisciplinares a la vez que se tensionan y discuten algunos supuestos clásicos y tradicionales de la política educativa, para incitar una renovación analítica que posibilite el estudio de las relaciones sociales de autogobierno y gobierno de las/os otras/os en tanto articulaciones históricas entre el saber, el poder y la subjetividad. Finalmente, se exponen algunos indicios y propuestas para el abordaje sociológico de los fenómenos educativos contemporáneos, que convocan y promueven la necesidad de producir ciertos desplazamientos epistemológicos en el campo teórico de la política educativa, así como invitan a la reconfiguración de sus objetos de estudio en el marco de la adscripción a un enfoque posestructuralista.
