This thesis aims to study cases of Symbolic Violence at the Deputed Djalma Maranhão Municipal School, located in the municipality of São Paulo do Potengi/RN, from the point of view of educators and education professionals, with a view to identifying how and when these cases occur and what has been the role of the School in facing this problem, observing the promotion of spaces for discussion about diversity and acceptance of differences. For this, we sought as references the studies carried out by Pierre Bourdieu on Symbolic Violence, the discussions of Paulo Freire and his reflections on banking and liberating education, discussions on power and biopower in Foucault and the concept of social action in Werber to guide our methodology. With this, we intend to draw a dialogue between the authors, discussing educational processes in a contemporary context and inserting into this discussion the emergence of studies on Symbolic Violence and its impact on students' lives and, therefore, on the social context. The research was developed using the Case Study method, anchored in qualitative-quantitative collection techniques for exploratory-descriptive purposes, which enabled greater knowledge about the question to be clarified, involving bibliographical research, participant observation and interviews with school professionals. The research aims to arouse the interest of other researchers and encourage them to look into questions as pertinent as the role of the school space in relation to issues of violence, promotion of citizenship and respect for differences, with the justification that it is a topic that is rarely discussed. addressed in Social Sciences, even more so when related to the concept of Symbolic Violence. In the end, we intend to offer data that can portray the scenario of this type of violence in a school that represents the profile of almost 60% of schools in the country, shedding light on a topic that is still little discussed but that can bring many impacts to the educational and social field.
