HOSPITAL SCHOOL

space the production of subjectivity, cultural and social changes

Abstract

This article presented the data were obtained during Doctorate research carried out in the institution and some educational practices developed by teachers that have been working with hospitalised children and teenagers in the Hospital of the Social Work in Bahia. The work was based on ethnographic research and a multi-referentiality perspective. The data were collected in different ways: interviews, analyses of documentation and video recordings of the classes. Teachers were very sensitive to listen to the students’ worries, such as urban violence, life preservation and the guarantee of human rights. All these issues were present in the curriculum. This work shows the political actions that characterized a school inside a hospital, as well as the attention given to individual aspects despite the collective structure. The respect for some identity and individual differences were used as a starting point.
