Emancipatory pedagogies; Biopolitical tensions: Saúl Taborda

Biopolitics is characterized as a point of view or theorical perspective that attends to relate two elements that are not easy to relate. Those elements, wich are divergent though not contradictory, are joined in a tense relationship: community life. We place biopolitics as a fact and as a subject of analysis in the origin of modernity (in coincidence with Foucault and Roberto Esposito’s interpretation), and after showing the relationship between life and politics, within the description made by Aristoteles of classic community, we take the idea of immune device developed by Esposito in order to demonstrate certain pedagogic mechanisms wich has been shaping the idea of modern subjectivity, particularly in Argentina. We present emancipatory pedagogies as a possible revertion of the immune device, and support that possibility in Saúl Tabordas’s political and pedagogical statementes, whose theorical thoughts we describe generally, fundamentally in discussion with sarmientino model.
