Authority, Violence and Education Abstract
The article aims to focus on the relationship between violence and the crisis of authority in the educational context, considering the saturated environment of biopolitics. It seeks to interpret the work of the final phase of Sigmund Freud's life, Man Moses and the monotheistic religion as a counter-hegemonic witness to biopolitics. Based on some thesis defended in the work, especially the one of the vacant place of the image of the father, the article establishes relations with the role of the teacher before the scenery of violence and lack of recognition of their action. It concludes by the need to deconstruct the panorama that motivated the outbreak of the original violence, now being necessary its reconstruction it in the hermeneutic perspective. As well it indicates the need to rethink biopolitics in the teacher’s life, always challenged to take sides for a repressive or moral authority.
