School and Prison: The Failure of Prison and Crisis of Schools?

Authors

Óscar Saldarriaga Vélez Pontificia Universidad Javeriana ,

This paper reviews the problem of analogies and differences between prison and school, a heated topic since the 80s within the Colombian Pedagogical Movement, in the light of specific appropriations of Michel Foucault's book Discipline and Punish. The second part of this text considers the Foucauldian thesis on the "failure of the prison" ("failure is part of the functioning of the disciplinary device"). Finally, it proposes to analyze this "failure" in the case of the modern school, based on analyses developed within the framework of the work of the Group for the History of Pedagogical Practice in Colombia.
