Introduction: Education, especially formal education, is framed by  the State, the economy and civil society and aims at training citizens, workers and the development of individuals and groups. With public education organized around this triple mandate, in the first historical stage of development of educational systems, differences (ethnicity, gender, age, way of life, etc.) were absent from their political concern. With the emergence of 'disorganized' capitalism, with the growing affirmation of the identities of groups, individuals and 'new social movements', in the context of globalization, the triple mandate is reconfigured both around the new demands of the global economy and around what could be called "new forms of citizenship". This curricular unit aims to analyze the emerging relations between education, with an emphasis on formal / public education, economic and social development and the emergence of 'differences' and their social and political demands in their various dimensions. This analysis of the politics and policies of difference will be carried out on the basis of the five 'sites' where educational mandates and differences meet and confront: body, work, citizenship, identity and territory.

Objectives:

-To identify the modern matrix of discourses in education

      • To relate the mandates addressed to education with the development of capitalism.

- To relate the educational mandates to global, national and local levels (and their interactions).

- To know theories about how the state, economy and society are developing and reconfiguring educational mandates.

-  To characterize emerging forms of citizenship based on identity affirmation and social reflexivity.

- To analyze the 'sites' (the body, work, citizenship, identity and territory) in their interaction with education.

       • To identify the impacts of (and on) the 'sites' in the educational policies and education texts.

- To analyze  educational policies in Portugal in the context of the “knowledge economy” and society.

• To draw conclusions for the Portuguese context of the reconfiguration of the mandate addressed to the education system by the "Europe of knowledge".
