MARKS STAMPED ON SCHOOL WALLS: IMAGES, EDUCATION, AND PRECARIOUS LIVES

ABSTRACT

We are constantly affected by different discourses which incite prejudice and violence, often present in the small nuances of everyday life, but which can also come out explicit, direct, and wide-open. The present article takes two graffiti – one with racist and another one homophobic content – made on the walls of a public school in a inland city of Minas Gerais (Brazil) as a starting point for problematizing the images formed on those walls, guided by Foucault and Butler perspectives, as knowledge-power games potency and as discourses and subjects transformation.

Keywords
School; Framing; Heteronormativity; Graffiti; Racism
