The third chapter details the social and historical contexts of Milton High School that gave rise to its Homeland Security program. Based on Milton’s earlier school reform efforts aimed at preparing poor and working class youth of color for the technical workforce, the school eventually narrowed its focus to issues of, and jobs related to, national security.

No presente artigo discutimos a reforma do ensino médio, em implementação no Brasil, a partir de 2.017, mediante a Lei n. 13.415, a Base Nacional Comum Curricular e as Diretrizes Curriculares Nacionais do Ensino Médio. O texto consta de uma introdução e dos seguintes tópicos: Regressão e contrarreforma social nos marcos da dependência e subalternidade; A educação pública e o ensino médio no contexto da contrarreforma social: questões de estrutura e conjuntura; O projeto educacional regressivo-conservador: educação como mercadoria e mecanismo de adaptação à exclusão social; O projeto social e educacional da classe trabalhadora: formação integral e emancipação humana; Considerações finais: construir a resistência necessária. Argumentamos que a reforma do ensino médio é parte da contrarreforma social para a supressão de direitos sociais no contexto de disputa de projetos que vivemos no Brasil e da forma de inserção subalterna e dependente do país na ordem mundial, o que envolve a adequação da educação, do trabalho e da classe trabalhadora a este projeto.Palavras-chave: Reforma do ensino médio.

The text consists of an introduction and the following topics: Regression and social counter-reform in the context of dependency and subordination; Public education and high school in the context of social counter-reform: questions of structure and conjuncture; The conservative regressive educational project: education as a commodity and mechanism of adaptation to social exclusion; The social and educational project of the working class: integral formation and human emancipation; Final Considerations: Build the necessary resistance. We argue that high school reform is part of the social counter-reform for the suppression of social rights in the context of disputing projects that we live in Brazil and of the country's subordinate and dependent insertion in the world order, which involves the adequacy of education, from work and working class to this project.Keywords: High school reform.

Film scholars have argued that the British social realist films of the late 1950s and early 1960s reflect the concerns articulated by British cultural studies during the same period. This article looks at how the social realist films of the 1970s and early 1980s similarly reflect the concerns of British cultural studies scholarship produced by the University of Birmingham’s Centre for Contemporary Cultural Studies during the 1970s. It argues that the Centre for Contemporary Cultural Studies’ approach to stylised working-class youth subcultures is echoed in the portrayal of youth subcultures in the social realist films Pressure (1976), Bloody Kids (1979), Babylon (1980) and Made in Britain (1982). This article explores the ways in which these films show us both the strengths and weaknesses of the Centre for Contemporary Cultural Studies’ work on subcultures.

The Social

This chapter mentions the Third Republican lawmakers, politicians, bureaucrats, employers, and social workers who summoned reproductive citizenship into being against the backdrop of severe depopulation and an imagined “crise de familles.” It reviews the routine application of social policies, states and social actors that worked in both official and unofficial spheres toward the goal of repopulating France with immigrant families. It also describes France's working-class urban neighborhoods, in which the gendered rhythms of neighborhood life reinforced the making and remaking of mixed and foreign-born families. The chapter points out how a female culture of mutual aid flourished in the social world of the apartment building and provided material support to French and immigrant wives and mothers. It identifies that immigrant women adopted French patterns of marriage, employment, fertility, and child-rearing.

Corporate Takeover

The first chapter locates Milton High School within national efforts to install militarized regimes of discipline in public education through the corporate takeover of schools, wage war under the banner of national security, and draw young people into the war-making business through fear by examining the genealogies of neoliberal school reform, zero-tolerance school policies, school militarization, and fear in U.S. politics. Knitting these strands together lends itself to an understanding of how the Milton school staff thought about the shifting purposes of education, the needs of their students, and the role of national security in their daily lives.

Attempting to transgress neoliberal value: Constructing a micro-foundation of social values of working-class youth in vocational schools in China

In contrast to the existing argument that the logic of capital has monetised almost every aspect of human relationships to the realm of exchange value, this article explores the social values that are practised by Chinese working-class youth as an alternative form of agency and everyday practice. Instead of understanding social values as a realm of value operating entirely outside the logic of exchange value, this article takes social values as the constitutive other of exchange value embodied in the neoliberalised form of capitalism. It attempts to develop a micro-foundation of social values or a social mechanism of values for understanding social protection and class solidarity. Employing in-depth interviews and ethnographic observations in vocational schools in China, at sites for the education and nurture of working-class youth, we ask what social values are, how they are perceived and exercised, and by whom. From students’ practices of care in schools, cooperation in the workplace and solidarity in the community, our goal is to build a micro-foundation of social values that challenges and goes beyond the logic of exchange value.

The World

Beginning with an autobiological account, the introduction of A Curriculum of Fear relates the author’s interest in schools featuring specialized Homeland Security program, especially Milton High School. Based on the author’s fieldwork and rooted in political geography, sociology, and critical education studies, this book examines the inner workings of Milton and its Homeland Security program. As the first ethnography of a U.S. public school with a specialized Homeland Security program, it explores how synchronizing the school with the needs of the national security industry shaped its students understandings of the world and their place in it. Moving messily between scales, this ethnography traces how Milton, by design, undertook the epistemic, political, and emotional work needed to train its students as the next generation of national security workers. By investigating this remaking of Milton, it documents the deep implications of these national security pedagogies on young people’s psyches, social imaginaries, and daily interactions.

The Social

Social security is not only the key trend of social policy but also a significant domain of internal and national security. This type of security, correlated with social protection, both in the past and nowadays, is based on the public and social grounds. Its dimension harmonizing with the changing political and economic conditions took a subsidiary form, then a paternalistic one, to reach ultimately an auxiliary character, drawing on the best models developed on the grounds of our state’s history.
