This study looks into children’s play-fighting and real fights experienced
in the school environment from the perspective of children’s daily life in
a Center for Whole Attention to Children and Adolescents located in Sobradinho
II, DF, Brazil. It is a qualitative, ethnographic study with theoretical-
methodological contributions from Sociologies of Daily Life and Childhood.
Field research was conducted over seven months of the 2017 school year,
with 34 children aged 9-12. The instruments used were participant observation,
drawing, and conversations with the children. Field records allowed identifying
categories that show play-fighting and real fights under the paradoxical dimensions
of children’s daily life, which carry aspects surrounding conflict as a mediator
of relationships conceived inside and outside the school.
