Reading the school-armed conflict relationship is a challenging task. It would be difficult not to fall into the temptation to say, almost immediately, that policies have failed. Such a statement would be widely demonstrable from a robust corpus of documentary reports by international organizations, civil society or by the same Colombian State institutions, which have shown increasingly alarming data about human rights violations. Forced recruitment of children and young deprives them of their right to education and undermines their physical and emotional integrity. Threats to teachers in areas of confrontation violates their right to work, to free speech, academic freedom and life itself. Schools operating in these areas are used by actors in the conflict, which constitutes a clear violation of international humanitarian law. All these situations have certainly had an impact on how the school is set to operate in the midst of armed conflict, as well as in the subjectivity of the school subject and subject teachers who have no other choice than to stay in these territories. So, the question is: How do these schools resist the policies of death, and recreate themselves under exceptional circumstances?

Palabras clave : State of emergency; biopotency; armed conflict; school; bare life.
