Digital social media and resistance narratives in the school space

Abstract

The focus of this article is to present the analysis of protest posters that subject a specific discursive-political event: the occupation of public schools in São Paulo (Brazil) by high school students occurred in 2015. It aimed to observe how these utterances, with their protest and resistance tones, produce meaning and build new narratives about being a high school student of Brazilian public schools. The analysis was anchored by Bakhtin Circle’s concepts of discourse, utterance, chronotope and evaluative horizon. The results show that, in this particular event, the utterances of the students mark, by the resistance and empowerment tones, the voices of the present that postulate a non-absolute and non-demarcated future. By the living of a social practice that is not indifferent, the utterances prove that students are open to another narrative, which by forms of ideological communication, raising another social horizon, another reality of a collective sphere.
