The formation of political subjectivity in educational contexts
This reflection article analyzes the formation of political subjectivity in educational contexts based on a case study of a Political and Economic Sciences class held in virtual mode. From a qualitative and discursive approach, students' oral interventions are examined as situated forms of politicization shaped by territorial experiences, personal trajectories and emotions. The contributions were recorded anonymously and analyzed with ethical authorization for research use. The methodology employed was thematic content analysis, which made it possible to identify ten emerging categories linked to structural critique, agency, ideological conflict, vulnerability and transformative hope. The results show that the classroom can function as a stage of symbolic dispute where subjects develop critical interpretations of the social order, challenge power structures and project possibilities for transformation. The discussion draws on theoretical contributions from Foucault, Butler, Rancière, Laclau and Mouffe, which makes it possible to understand the classroom as a political space where students not only learn about politics but also shape the political in language and experience. It is concluded that teaching can catalyze incipient forms of critical subjectivity and situated citizenship education.
