    Classes sociais, campo, grupos: contribuições para pensar a função social da escola
    (2015) LIMA, Rita de Cássia Pereira; CAMPOS, Pedro Humberto Faria
    To approach the social relations occurring in the school, this article proposes widening the economic perspective on the concept of “social classes”, privileging the richness of social interactions occurring in school’s everyday life, due mainly to the intensity of symbolic exchanges in this environment. As a reference, we adopted the Bourdieusian concept of “field”, in which various forms of capital (economic, cultural, social, and symbolic) circulate, engendering material and symbolic struggles. The text starts with conceptions of the “social role of school” according to various authors (Dewey, Durkheim, Parsons, Pistrak) until the French context of the 1970’s, in which Bourdieu affirms the idea of schools as entities that reproduce the society of classes, therefore, a place of class struggles. This discussion allows reflecting about inclusion/exclusion in the school and pointing to exclusion as a “societarian paradigm” in which there are social divisions with dominant and dominated elements, both economically and symbolically. In pursuit of a way to understand the social role of school beyond the economic dimension of classes, and taking into account the inclusion-exclusion relationship, we emphasize a symbolic perspective to the school environment founded on the notion of “field”, with attention to “groups”. We affirm the necessity of seeking a theoretical framework that can better explain the social relations between various agents/groups, social context, and school culture. By way of conclusion, we point to the fruitfulness of approximating Bourdieu’s sociology to the psychosocial perspective of Moscovici’s theory of social representations in order to explain the material and symbolic relations occurring in the school.

    Resenha do Livro Perspectivas teoríco-metodológicas em representações sociais
    (2008) LIMA, Rita de Cássia Pereira
    The book is an initiative of European and Latin American researchers and reflects the scientific exchange that has mobilized authors interested in the study of social representations. An element that permeates the chapters, in addition to theorizing about social representations, is the concern to explain systematic procedures and objectives of observation, data analysis and interpretation that constitute scientific research, avoiding contrasting quantitative and qualitative analysis. There is a consensus in this area that there is a need to use various methods to observe, analyze and understand common sense knowledge, which demands a lot of care and reflection, as well as new searches for methodological strategies. In this sense, the book seeks to show paths for possible theoretical-methodological impasses that emerge from research problems involving different sociocultural realities and different areas of scientific knowledge.
