| Sumario: | The article has as its object the democratic management in public schools, particularly the reflections around the management of the Florianópolis municipal system, in Santa Catarina. Through a documentary study, a synthesis of the movement of construction and implementation of direct elections for school principals in the municipality is presented, considering the social political context. It is reiterated that, even within its limits, the democratic struggle can constitute a threat, even momentary, to bourgeois hegemony, so it is always in the spotlight. The assumptions on which the reflections are based are seized in the context of a class society in which the figure of the State and democracy as a universal value must also be problematized. Thus, it is based on the understanding of State and democracy from the Marxist perspective, considering the fundamental contributions of Lênin (2007) and Gramsci (2014) for which the bourgeois State is founded on a particular class interest that necessarily needs to present itself as if it were universal. Likewise, bourgeois democracy encopasses the realm of the particular, not the universal, precisely because it is constrained by the conditions of a society founded on private ownership of the means of production. Grasping these limitations does not imply abandoning the struggle for democracy, but rather recognizing the need on the horizon for the radical transformation of reality. |
