| Sumario: | This article is the result of a doctoral research project conducted between the years 2011 and 2018, focused on the stud of what is commonly—and dangerously— referred to as “school violence.” The hypothesis which orients this paper assumes that the youthful expressions which many educators consider “violent” are not isolated outbursts whose causes can be imputed to a single individual, but, in general, are manifestations (with a substantial “physical” component) produced by youths’ self-regulation in response to the indifference of adults. Our proof of this hypothesis is based on two sources of information: a series of interviews with teachers and students at junior high schools and an exhaustive review of the specialized literature. The conclusions confirm the place of secondary education in the process of renouncing violence, in other words in the formation of social bonds, recognition of a symbolic order, and responsible use of the body. |
