Resumos
In this article we propose to make a theoretical-practical reflection on the modes of vulnerability that can be produced or triggered in the territorial, economical, historical, social, cultural, and psychopolitical dimensions of human experience, whose effects are intertwined with the stories of the subjects inside the school. For such a discussion, we will present some authors who approach the concept of vulnerability. Then, we will propose a concept of vulnerability that differentiates it from the helplessness phenomenon, but is related to it. From this, we will present some vignettes from a scientific investigation that allow us to investigate how such phenomena dynamically present themselves in the school environment. We have concluded that the vulnerability presents itself at school as new forms of helplessness, nuanced by environmental conditions by the subject’s desire, whom seeks to find ways to face the paradox between alienation and disalienation.
