Resumen
RUNGE PENA, Andrés Klaus y CARRILLO DAVID, Sara Carolina. Mega-kindergartens: heterotopias for governing the infant population in Medellin. Rev. colomb. educ. [online]. 2013, n.65, pp.257-278. ISSN 0120-3916.
Under a new policy of comprehensive child care during the past administrations Medellin has been making a considerable investment in urban infrastructure, specifically the creation in strategic locations in the city, large kindergartens. This paper aims to reflect upon these spaces as key Foucauldian heterotopias, ie, as other spaces for the government (governmentality) of children. So, we start from the estimation that restructuring and redefining educational space and practices therein are not due to a kind of educational and philanthropic concern that no more can be considered detached from a historical and social context and outside certain interests and certain power relations.
Palabras clave : Kindergartens; schools and educational spaces; other spaces; heterotopias; governmentality childhood.
