Abstract
The objective of this doctoral thesis is to make a contribution to the analysis on the limits and potential of subjectivity policies and - within these policies - of the institutionalization of the health promotion field in public high schools in Argentina’s current situation.3 For this purpose, based on the systematization of national and international relevant literature, fieldwork developed in two years and a half in two public high schools located at Buenos Aires City – by using qualitative social research techniques- and a dialog with conceptual tools of contemporary social theory, we focused on the problem of violence perceived by its agents as categories analyzing the different types of school social climates in relation to which young people build their daily experiences and subjectivities.
Based on the dialog between our conceptual framework and the analysis of practices and discourses of teachers, principals and students about violence, themselves and others at school, we have identified the presence of three large types of school social climates with several degrees of articulations and tensions
a) Desubjectivating: adults’ perception of, and relationship with, young people and adolescents at school are based on the negation of the management and/or reflexivity capacities of the latter. Their practices are also negated and associated mainly with violence, transgression and/or social risks. The consequences of these phenomena in pedagogical practice – lack of interest, difficulties in controlling one’s own reactions and communicating with students and fellows – create a feedback loop among the desubjectivating processes that have been part of local teaching institutions for many decades now, both as regards themselves – as an object of the circumstances- and the others – students, families.
b) Integrationist-Normative: adults start from the identification of a deep crisis in public schools that is due to the weakening of their subjectivation capacity – familiarization with rules and formation of autonomous and reflexive subjects-. Although the discursive positions of the proposals for overcoming the crisis differ –normative-disciplinary and integrationist-vocational-, both are aimed at integrating young people/adolescents into teaching institutions “however possible” without problematizing relationships of strength, reification of imaginaries inside teaching institutions and their imposition on subjects – heteronomy.
c) Ethical-Subjectivating: around experiences of trust, dialog and/or display of reflexivity of young people and adults in teaching institutions, mediation spaces are created for them to struggle to be recognized and to build non substantial and non self-centered identities. Accordingly, new possibilities arise for youth subjectivation processes based on dialogic autonomy and the expression and transmission of their experiences. In addition, within the context of this type of social climate, the school can be reconstituted as a public space: a space for the exercise and display of the freedom, criticism, denaturation and/or transformation – in both discourses and daily practices- of prevailing values and rules. Therefore, although the latter school social climate is currently fragmented, disarticulated and subordinated compared to the other two types, we believe that it must be displayed and consolidated in an strategic core for policies tending to institutionalize health promotion strategies and, in general, to re-legitimate educational policies and teaching institutions within the current situation of our democratic society.
