Resumo. Within the scope of a problem investigated in a doctoral thesis – that is, to understand, in the light of the work of Corazza and Foucault, how the exercise of power-knowledge, in schools, can constitute children as subjects for them to build a form of experience in common, which can overcome the phenomenon of violence committed by children and young people – this article performs a brief bibliographic analysis of some scientific productions that are connected to our thesis claim. It is concluded that the studies reinforce the thesis that the investment in the child population to lead from the neoliberal way of life, ends up inciting the practice of violence.
