This article aims to discuss and reflect on the development of the discipline as a field of knowledge that underpins the concept of docile bodies, based on its operationalization in the school. The contributions of the Social History of the Body and the Genealogy of Power in Michel Foucault are highlighted, in a specific excerpt of his work Discipline and Punish (2012). The genesis of the forms of control over the body is contextualized within the categories of scale, object, and modality, as well as the relevance of space and time, as particular characteristics of the process of docilization. Articulating the ideas of history and will to truth, the school is exemplified as a space of this process. The period of Foucault's work in which the density of practices that corroborated the development of bodily discipline has a hermetic connotation is established as the center of the discussion, whose elements analyzed in such an undertaking are still present today.
