DISCOURSE AND BODY

THE DISGUISE OF BULLYING IN SCHOOL CIRCULATION

Abstract

In this article, considering the body as a linguistic materiality, a place that becomes the target of the classifying gaze of the bullying aggressor subject, we propose to analyze discursively how bullying circulates in school, in an attempt to understand what can cross this violent practice. For this purpose, the analysis corpus is constituted from a questionnaire conducted with high school student subjects from a state school in the interior of São Paulo, and the theoretical assumptions used are based on Pecheuxtian Discourse Analysis. In our analyses, we interpret that bullying circulates in schools and operates through disguise, as meanings of violence are naturalized as democratic, and the classifying gaze attributed to the body of the bullying victim subject is constituted by a language of wind that blows disguised violence as a joke.
