La violencia Escolar y sus Bemoles. El Encuentro Entre la Música y la Pedagogía: una Perspectiva Creativa de Comprensión y Superación

Abstract

This proposal problematizes the meanings of the practices and concepts of school violence, the interdisciplinary theories that have studied it and the attempts to mitigate it; shows the role assumed by pedagogy in the treatment of such a crucial issue in social daily life. Analyzes the use given to music as catharsis and entertainment, and proposes a new look at music not as therapeutic but as artistic education that frees subjects from discomfort and therefore makes it possible to neutralize the effects of School Violence, trying to tone it down.

The "flats", or complications, causing the failure of the different control mechanisms of school violence are exposed and how these setbacks are related to the eclipsing of the individual, in a society that legitimizes violence as the preferred means of access to power and control of human life. Consequently, the motivating question of this work arises: How can music education creatively transform the violent environment of the school? The answer, product of the exploration of novel ways of studying, understanding and overcoming school violence, points to the validation of an initial thesis, stated as the possibility of neutralizing the effects of School Violence through the creative encounter between music and pedagogy, from another logic on the consideration of musical education as a liberating mediation of the condition of discomfort of school individuals, whether they are boys, girls or young people.
