This thesis aims to discuss, based on the analysis of several reports on the school institution published in different sites of the on-line media, how the object school is produced in current journalistic discourse. Grounded on theoretical presuppositions of the French school of Discourse Analysis and, especially, on the constructs of Michel Foucault, this research intends to highlight how certain truths about school are produced, disseminated and validated, which eventually regulate our ways of seeing and talking about this institution in present times. We believe that we can have access to truth games that are working in the school universe for the constitution of subjectivities through the news circulating in the media. The statements put into operation in the discourse of the news point to the emergence of new practices that materialize in this institutional environment in order to govern the subjects. To conduct an inventory of these new practices, we analyzed, particularly, news dealing with the object school in relation with other topics, such as violence, food and sex. These issues constitute a discursive network that refers to the challenges posed to school by contemporary culture. The news highlight the ways in which the educational institution has sought to reassert its function in the production of certain types of subjects, pointing, therefore, to the increased role of school as a standard setter in the society of control.
