"Só vem pra não perder o Bolsa Família”: mascas de rebaixamento e resistência na cultura escolar (Cubati/2006-2019).

Abstract

In this research we have as objective to problematize the student representations meant by discursive practices in circularity in the Padre Simão Fileto School, and in the social Service of the city of Cubati-Paraíba between the years 2006-2019, based on the dialogue of teachers, managers, students, and family members. The interest in doing this work came from the concern in problematizing whether in these scenarios, lowered expectations about the school performance of boys and girls who are beneficiaries of the Bolsa Família Programme were related to their class positions and entailment to the social benefit. A hypothesis that comes from an empirical observation and becomes a case study, it was elaborated in face of the phrases: “They only come to not miss the Bolsa Família”, and “They only come to eat something”, said in the school routine in a naturalized way. In the analysis carried out. it was possible to map the struggles of representations that give different meanings to this premise, which became more complex amid of codependent networks that involve school, Street, families, children, youth, work relations, and subject-positions in the city. Therefore, documentations were selected - face-to-face and remote interviews, letters, images, and free association questionnaires - which were read, from the theoretical and methodological point of view, correlating cultural history of the social to oral history, and their contributions to the analysis of school cultures, identities, and class relations, vertiginously problematized.
