Bullying and school practices: adapt or emancipate?

Abstract

In this paper, we discusses the relationships and mediations between bullying phenomenon and educational practices of the social being in the scholar context. The problem that guides the topic tenses the possibility of a conception and treatment of this phenomenon from the perspective of the individual’s adaptation to what determines the dominant logic behind the capitalism or from the perspective of practices that feed the possibility of an emancipatory education. Having this goal, we discuss the concept of bullying and examine a children’s tale entitled The Bull and the Pig, considering some important aspects of the current social reality.
