KAPLAN, Carina Viviana. Care and Therness in the School Culture: An Alternative View to the Law of Retaliation. Pensam. psicol. [online]. 2016, vol.14, n.1, pp.119-130. ISSN 1657-8961.  https://doi.org/10.11144/Javerianacali.PPSI14-1.coce.

Cohabitation, conflict and violence in schools are socially relevant issues that have been posed in public agendas of most Latin American countries during the recent decades. On a normative level, the rights of those individuals who have been historically placed in a subordinate position, such as children and youngsters, have been extended. However, alongside laws, it is necessary to generate the conditions for cultural change; which helps to build a pedagogy to release emotions in an emancipatory sense. It is imperative to make a turn from the pedagogy of punishment to another one that enables the self-control of emotions on the basis of respect towards others in a social coexistence. This text explores the expressions of xenophobia and racism, in the socio-dynamics of stigmatization which characterize the current times we live in and which are observed in educational practices. We understand violence as a builder of subjectivity, as a mode of social pain that reports damages. Thus, repairing is an educational act that enables less traumatic school experiences and leaves as a legacy of transmission an ethical attitude towards the other.

Keywords : Education; violence; stigmatization; adolescent.
