INSIDE THE SCHOOL, THE SCHOOL WITHIN: EXPLORING THE PROCESS OF ONE’S SOCIALIZATION ABOUT THE ACCESS TO THE SCHOOL AND BODY IN THE CLASSROOM THROUGH A TRIO-ETHNOGRAPHY EXERCISE.

Abstract

By means of a ‘trio-ethnography’ exercise, three teachers use observations from current schools and compare them with the school they experienced in their childhood and their ideal one. They take two situations from a school day (entering the centre, entering the classroom) and they try to identify situations and moments where bodies are present at school. This triple contrast allows them to understand ideas and reflections upon bodies’ schooling within a changing system that, in turn, tries to be overcome by the authors. Throughout a narration, the text suggests new personal stories dealing with issues such as physical marks due to the rupture with the family protection environment, schooled bodies, silenced, targeted and routined bodies, exposed bodies, castigated or harassed bodies, or confident and unconfident bodies.
