TRANSFORMATIVE SOCIAL MEDIATION AND SUBJECTIVE PROCESSES POLICY: THE PROJECT EXPERIENCE STUDY IN PEACE.transformative social mediation; political subjectivation; neoliberalism; violence; dissensus
In contemporary times, the modes of subjectivation take place under the aegis of neoliberalism, a new political rationality of capitalism that, due to its systemic character, structures the actions of the government and the conduct of the governed, extending the logic of capital to all social relations and spheres of life. This rationality directly affects educational contexts, spreading a depoliticized and antidemocratic education, generating violence of all kinds and a malaise that shakes the daily lives of schools. Hence the importance of developing and researching educational praxis that can trigger new processes of subjectivation, as opposed to the neoliberal proposal. In this sense, the present work investigated the transformative social mediation, a political-educational praxis developed by the Study in Peace project, and how this praxis triggers processes of political subjectivation in the educational contexts, processes resulting from neoliberalism. This mediation was carried out at the Center for Peace and Human Rights Studies - NEP, University of Brasília - UnB, to meet the objectives of the project Study in Peace: conflicts mediation in the school context, an extension project that for fourteen years has been active in the public school system of the Federal District, acting in contexts of violence, exclusion and social inequality. This is a qualitative research of exploratory nature, with multiple case studies, whose data analysis will be guided by the principles of Inductive Thematic Analysis
