Democracía y conflicto: un problema de la escuela contemporanea

Abstract

It is almost always understood that democracy produces participation, citizenship and inclusion, but not that democracy produces a series of conflicts and that these fall directly on the body of a subjectivity and on a school where the subjects live. Thinking democracy in terms of conflict is perhaps a way of understanding a subject that will begin to position itself within the universe of the school and those relationships that it will weave. In order to understand these dynamics, it is necessary to answer: What is democracy? What is conflict? and what is the type of subject that lands in it? In addition to the above, it is necessary to characterize the role played by the school where the aforementioned subject arrives in order to understand those forces that permeate within it and the scenarios, changes and counter-forces that develop from within the institutional apparatus called school.
