El dispositivo en las ciencias sociales y en la educación: La piedra angular

This work intends to provide a critical approach to social sciences and education at present, based on a retrospective evaluation that supports itself on the dispositive, a fundamental "tool" in the Foucauldian thought. Throughout this work, a theoretical-methodological reflection on the ways of thinking and representing the social sciences and education through history is promoted. Finally, as a conclusion, it is determined that the social sciences and education have demonstrated significant progress both on its epistemological and theoretical-methodological basis. For several years now, the conception, planning, and construction of discourse have been influenced by new methodological trends and research areas proposed by individuals who have become theoretical and methodological collaborators of the social sciences and education. Among these individuals is Michel Foucault, who has contributed to these fields through the introduction of the dispositive as a mechanism to discover and present structures of ideas and thoughts in social sciences and education.
