Bullying na escola: a ponta do iceberg

Abstract

This master’s research has investigated a sample from the reality of the education in the state of Alagoas, through a case study carried out in a school located far from Maceió downtown. The objective was to question the role of the school when faced with manifestations of bullying, once within this context its presence is justified by using external factors such as the familiar institution, the personality of the person or the society. The theoretical reflections carried out have dialogued with the reflections brought about by Charlot (2000; Id., 2005; Id,2009), Dubet (1994; Id. 2003), Elias (1994; et. al. 2000), Goffman (2004, Id.,2014), Foucault (1996, Id.,2004; Id. 2007; Id. 2008), Eizirik & Comerlato (1995), Sacristan (2005), Arroyo (2013), Ramos do Ó (2007), among others. Together with the information obtained through observations of the daily life of the school and interviews in narrative mode with the teachers, it has been verified that the phenomenon of bullying is a mechanism which validates and naturalizes the logics which organized today‟s society. On the other hand, the school inserted in this society produces discontinuities which harm the development of educational processes which significantly contribute to the overcoming of the logics contained in the bullying practiced inside the school.
