The War Machine School as resistance configurations in front of the School Institution

Abstract

The French philosopher, Gilles Deleuze, develops the concept of War Machine, which refers to these configurations of resistance that are given to the emergence of the state. If the school as an institution, it is part of the State, it is possible that this type of resistance is in it. If so, pedagogy would have to analyze how these resistance processes are given. Perhaps it would be a new pedagogy? Maybe, and this would be because we would be talking about a new school. That is to say, not of the institution, which tends to reproduce patterns of behavior and models of thought, but of which it resists to it; the school that is capable of producing culture and for which we have built the concept of The War Machine School. Recognizing the existence of the War Machine School, it is possible to see that the school institution only exists to appropriate it. All the school institutional devices are directed to it, but the School Machine of War always returns and appears, burst into the striated space to establish, though only it is in an ephemeral, fleeting way (in addition this way it has to be), a smooth space We all know and have lived through the School Institution. We can understand its structure, its components, and its functioning. But to the interior of such a school, there is another that we usually do not see or that we pretend not to know, it is one that eventually appears, one that resists and combats the school institution; it is the war Machine school and in which it is also possible to visualize a new master. It is configured in multiple ways, it appears in numerous places, then disappears; sometimes without leaving a trace and he invites us in turn, to constructing a new pedagogy.
