PATIERNO PH.D, Nicolás  and  SOUTHWELL PH.D, Myriam. Demystifying school violence: a critical analysis of representations. Rev.latinoam.cienc.soc.niñez juv [online]. 2020, vol.18, n.3, pp.49-77. ISSN 1692-715X.  https://doi.org/10.11600/1692715x.18309.

This paper is based on a research focused on the analysis of what is usually referred to as school violence. It was carried out in three secondary schools in the city of La Plata, Argentina between 2011 and 2018 and intends to show the influence of negative social imaginaries on the way in which educators usually intervene in the resolution of conflicts considered (by themselves) to be violent. To carry out this task, a qualitative methodology was chosen that was supported by the analysis of testimonies and a review of specialized literature. The article concludes by inviting us to rethink the role of secondary education in the containment and redirection of violence towards a peaceful and democratic coexistence.

Keywords : High school; violence; social conflicto; coexistence; consensus.
