The study explores the Reggio Emilia approach to Early Childhood Education. Drawing upon a post-structuralist, foucaultian inspired position, it describes that Italian experience and anatomizes its discourses. The use of theoretical and methodological tools make possible to determine an analytical space - in which ethical and political spaces are permanently crossing - to understand how modern practices of subjectification operate in these educational experiences addressed to very young children. The approach brief and punctual analysis makes possible to point out vocabularies from clearly identified fields in order to indicate its articulations, lineages, commitments. Assuming that language makes thinkable a determinate "part of reality", I stress how words could give intelligibility to social practices and show desirable directions to interventions.
