Ciência, Tecnologia e Sociedade na contemporaneidade: implicações educacionais tramadas ao pós-estruturalismo

Abstract

The present study aimed to move the perspective Science, Technology and Society (STS), linking it to the post-structuralist theory, which promotes other paths and directions to the already said and structured in education, specifically in teaching Sciences. Questions promoted this research: How contemporary crosses Science, Technology and Society? CTS can be thought with concepts and movements of post-structuralism? Since CTS studies and practices are being increasingly consolidated in educational spaces and the CTS weave with the post-structuralism is still little explored, it justifies the investment made in this dissertation. Regarding methodology, a literature review was conducted between 2013 and 2014, through online portals as Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO) and Google Scholar. The texts were found and chosen by their titles, keywords and abstracts. At first, a broad search was accomplished, seeking to understand and explore practices of CTS already implemented, in which twelve texts were selected. In the second phase, intending to discuss the proposed theme, currently sustained in critical theory, we looked for publications grounded in the poststructuralist theoretical framework. At this stage we found three texts, that offered references clues to broaden the discussion of this research on the concepts of minor Science (Deleuze; GUATTARI, 2012), Technologies of the self (Foucault, 2008), and disciplinary Society and Society of control (Foucault 1987; DELEUZE, 1992). At the compilation of the investigated knowledge, through the bibliography studied, we stated in a scientific thought that develops the production of meanings for education, involving a philosophical practice. In this perspective, the ideas gathered here highlight the knowledge aggregated to the world, by turning away ideologies and prejudices coming of modernity, because prioritizes todays social reality. In this plot, the CTS education is crossed by the lived, gathering procedures that do not seek answers, but questions to the established truths and a thinking shifted from the repetition of the same. It is designed not only as a territory that is learned and teached, but equally capable of producing forms of experience of itself, in which individuals can become subjects in a unique way in a given collectivity. Thus, the thesis in question contributes to an analysis that goes beyond the critical sense already claimed in this territory, a technology that considers the "I" a minor Science, part of the ethics and aesthetics of existence, in the multiplicity, seeking to mobilize thought, in the face of resistance that is experienced.
