A relação televisão e violência nas escolas: uma abordagem do discurso de professores

Abstract

Several scientific studies demonstrate the existence of violence in Brazilian schools and try to understand the roots of this phenomenon. It is also noticeable the scientific concern with the effects that the violence exhibited by the television can cause to the subjects. Thus, we aim to analyze, in this dissertation, if the violence in the school is influenced by that transmitted by the television media. For this, we analyze the discourse of seventh year teachers of a State College of Primary and Secondary Education regarding the relation between the television media and the violence in the school. The college is located in the Interlagos neighborhood, in the municipality of Cascavel - PR. The choice of this institution was due to the fact that the neighborhood in question had the highest incidence of violence, according to the indicators of the Specialized Reference Center for Social Assistance I (CREAS I). We perform bibliographical and field research. In order to base the contextualisation between media and school violence, we refer to bibliographies of: Bakhtin (1998 [1988], 2000 [1979], 1999 [1929]), Faraco (2009), Brait (1999), Barros GEGe (2009), Bourdieu (1997), Martin-Barbero (1997), Koshino (2011) and Hall (2003). To address more specifically the formation of adolescent subjectivity, we use studies by Vygotsky (1996), as well as theoretical studies that associate television with violence: Charlot (2006), Barreto (1992), Groebel (1999), Merlo-Flores (1999), Watella, Olivarez, Jennings (1999), Betelheim (2002) and the like. Field research, which included the participation of subjects, developed from a posture that analyzes the subjects' discourse in relation to social facts, considering the economic, political and social context. The instrument of data collection used was the semi-structured interview. For this, we resort to scholars, such as: André (1986), Bogdan (1994), Minayo (2004, 1997), among others. The analysis of the collected data was carried out under the theoretical-methodological perspective of the language of the Bakhtinian circle, which offered the means to reach positions based on the materiality of discourse and the historical reality of social relations.
