CONFESSIONAL TECHNOLOGIES: BODIES THAT DO IN VIRTUALITIES

Abstract

Understanding the production of knowledge and bodies as propositions and compositions of cultural practices, we place ourselves in this manuscript to think about the constitutions of bodies and corporealities in cyberspace. This, however, is part of a larger dissertation research, developed in the Graduate Program in Teaching Science and Mathematics Education of the State University of Londrina. Thus, we aim, in this work, to draw up considerations about the confessional technologies as instruments of embodiment and virtualization of the bodies. The considerations are raised from the theoretical reference of inspiration in the Cultural Studies of Sciences and of Education and the contributions left by Michel Foucault. We appropriate such theorizations in the production of analytical lenses, which help us during the process of anthropological immersion carried out in a group-space of the facebook social network, identified here as Vale. This immersion moves in order to inquire about multiple ontologies of the bodies, being used in this manuscript, the concept of technologies of confessionalities. We show in the group, confessional regimes that are active by: a) Confession of micro-stories, in publications, as a way of telling oneself; b) Invitations to confessions as operant of agency of wills and production of archives; and (c) response to invitations to confession.
