AUTONOMY AND SOCIAL EXPERIENCES: OCCUPATIONS OF PUBLIC SCHOOLS IN THE CITY OF UBERLÂNDIA / MG (2016)

Abstract

In this article, I am addressing aspects of the recent "occupations of schools" in the year 2016, in the city of Uberlândia, MG. I deal with the occupation process by means of oral interviews carried out during such events. In addition, I present aspects of demobilisation, from the top down, through disqualification of the subjects involved. Theoretically, I dialogue with the term experience, of E. P. Thompson, and with perspectives of autonomy and authority through analyses made by Cornelius Castoriadis and Cohn-Bendit. In general, I hope to show that the occupations have left legacies for those who care about the transformations of schools and with deeper social changes. Even though at the moment this is still presentable only as "structure of sentiment".
