This article presents a study of how real rituals are put into operation at the Military College of Porto Alegre (CMPA) and the Brazilian Mathematics Olympiad of the Public Schools (OBMEP), and how they combine and reinforce each other in order to position the students of the CMPA as individuals subjects to the neoliberal rationality, making them competitive and entrepreneurs of themselves.The theoretical contributions that support the investigation come from the field of Mathematical Education, are linked to the theories of Michel Foucault, especially those developed in his works Security, Territory and Population and the Government of the Living, converging to post-structuralist theories. The methodological tactic adopted to analyze the research material was marked by the discourse analysis, treated and discussed by Michel Foucault. The research material covers documents from the CMPA and the official OBMEP website. The analytical exercise carried out on the research material showed that the notions placed in motion in the CMPA and the OBMEP have the approximation of tactics that converge to the principles of the society of control and regulation.Downloads
