University education and genealogical obverse. Michel Foucault

Abstract

The author seeks to print a traveling style to the idea of university education, from the discursive bifurcation of genealogy and place. He claims that questioning about pedagogy amounts to questioning the place of the question, and that thus means interrogating the place of power. He claims that in the highest point of an epoch when State and urban installation of power emerge, modern education is born; and from this, college institution will be built based upon the new state practices, derived in turn from the ancient religious and military models.
