Abstract

This article aims to discuss the process of dissemination of Enterprising Culture in school and university spaces taking into consideration the contributions of Cultural Studies in Education. Through the analysis of Foucault-inspired speech, the interviews realized with high school teachers, students of the Pedagogy Undergraduate Course and school supervisors were analyzed aiming to question social-pedagogical aspects that may represent the enterprising perspective as a “pedagogical value” in the researched educational spaces. This study has highlighted the traces of a neo-liberal rationality, which has been expressed in speech and expressions such as: flexibility, pro-activity, potential for innovation, management skills, human capital, team spirit, strategic planning, goals, resilience, strategic vision, capacity for taking risks, continuing education, coming from a business ethos, which have received more and more emphasis in teacher training and throughout the practices developed by school supervisors. According to the speech analyzed there is a need for the professional in education to become an enterprising subject of himself, as a flexible subject who must be constantly learning, innovating, and developing projects. It is necessary to emphasize that the analysis developed with this study were carried out in view of questioning the speeches of the people interviewed, that corroborate the dissemination of enterprising as a “pedagogical value” in the educational environment, questioning how this logic operates in the training of teachers and school supervisors.
