Tá em casa ou na escola? Uma leitura da prática escolar em unidade de internação socioeducativa da cidade de São Paulo.

Abstract

The present research was designed from an ethnographic case study of schooling moments in one of the socio-educational internship unities of the Fundação Centro de Atendimento Socioeducativo ao Adolescente FUNDAÇÃO CASA (Foundation Centre of Socio-educational Service for Adolescents), which is located in São Paulo city´s west region. Through a participating and schooling-multi-sited perspective established in that environment involving liberty deprivation, this work intended to comprehend by observing, interacting and describing, the distinct and multiple scholar experiences and significations in pedagogical relationships among adolescents, public agents working in the institution and educators working in the São Paulo State Public Educational System. Guided by studies on socio-educational themes, on scholar ethnography, on studies that are based on foucaultian and freirean theoretical frameworks as well as on contributions from Cultural Anthropology, the present research was constituted by fieldwork notes and by the researcher´s actuation and interaction as an educator in the socio-educational internship unity. The field research was focused mainly on the possible oppression and resistance relationships promoted within the interned adolescents´ scholar practices and sociabilities, in a detailed manner, as well as among the other actors involved in the scholar period of the socio-educative measure. The conduction towards curricular adjustment of the regular school in this environment involving deprivation of liberty gave rise to implementation difficulties and teachers´ resistance during the observed period. The schooling process of these youngsters who committed criminal offenses has shown to be an important moment of oppressive and resistant sociabilities promotion, of representations and significations of a young culture that are highly connected to a repertoire of languages, performances and symbols related to São Paulo´s urban criminality. It has been concluded, also, that such elements driven to the constitution of this signification scheme come, among other aspects, from social practices within the prison system for adults and from the contribution from other cultural manifestations, such as, for example, a musical movement called funk , mainly through one of its branches called proibidão , whose lyrics revolve around criminality and an exacerbated sexuality and whose influences and configurations conform in different youth territorialities beyond the universe approached here.
