Violência nas escolas: uma comparação entre duas escolas diferenciadas dentro de uma mesma comunidade

Abstract

The subject of violence inside schools has been studied in recent years by researchers from many scientific areas. Through an interdisciplinary approach this study sought to understand the topic with a new perspective: from the perception of social actors involved in this context. Based on existing literature it is perceived that school violence can occur in several ways. The actions considered to be violent as well as the concept of violence itself differ depending on who and what is said. These differences affect the experiences that individuals have in relation to the phenomenon, which may be related to physical or verbal acts, explicit or discrete in stigmas and social norms. The analysis of these experiences was performed using the anthropological study of the emotions aroused in them and perceived by students of two schools located in the same community. Since the two institutions have different educational projects, a comparison was still made between the relations of school structures with the experiences of their students with violence.
