This paper is aimed at performing an analysis of the texts of legal documents concerning school inclusion, by mapping those enunciations that empower the ways of constituting the subjects of inclusion. As the empirical corpus we used the legislation that rules school inclusion based on the Brazilian Law of Guidelines and Bases of National Education, 1996. For this task we employed some tools of the theoretical and methodological perspective of discourse analysis in Michel Foucault, operating with the concepts of power, norms, normalization, inclusion/exclusion and (neo)liberal logic. In this stream, we also discussed the concepts of identity and difference. Analysis indicate inclusion as an imperative of neoliberal governmentality, which is aimed to maintain the highest number of individuals in the market network.
