Network Action and the Jovem de Futuro Project: privatization of the public scope

Abstract: This article focuses on the relations between the public and the private scope in education by examining Instituto Unibanco's Project named Jovem de Futuro [Promising Youth], as well as on analyzing the influence from entities participating in the governance board of the Institute and its relation networks. The main subject is the privatization of the public scope, the market logic, with implications for the democratization of education. We sought to analyze how the private interferes with the public scope through the partnership between Instituto Unibanco and high schools, in which the property remains public but the private institution interferes with the content of education by means of results-based management, bringing an individualistic and competitive market logic, rather than democratic principles.

摘要：本文以巴西联合银行研究所（Instituto Unibanco）推出的「未来青年」（Jovem de Futuro，Promising Youth）项目为研究对象，聚焦教育领域公私范畴的关系，同时分析参与该研究所治理委员会的主体及其关联网络所产生的影响。本文的核心议题为公共领域的私有化、市场逻辑及其对教育民主化的潜在意蕴。本研究旨在通过剖析巴西联合银行研究所与高中之间的合作模式，探析私人力量如何介入公共教育范畴：在此合作框架下，教育资产的所有权仍属公有，但私人机构借助结果导向型管理干预教育内容，植入了个人主义与竞争性的市场逻辑，而非民主办学的核心原则。
