Disciplina, resistências e o trabalho em orquestras sinfônicas

This article is an essay seeking to analyze relations between symphonic orchestras and the discipline through the studies of Michel Foucault. The central idea is that symphonic orchestras materialize practices of production of a rationality based on political docility, productivity and disciplined bodies for a meticulous work of music with detailed attention. It is a theoretical and analytical text, based on some analytical operators by Michel Foucault. The article is the result of a larger research completed, in the Graduate Program in Psychology. It is possible to affirm that orchestral music is a way to invent at work and, simultaneously, to resist docilizing disciplines, in terms of a dynamic field of multiple forces of knowledge and powers. There is discipline only when we have freedom concurrently.
