Resumo: This article has as its central objective the investigation of the connections and contrasts between the violence found at schools and that observed in the neighborhoods of origin of the school's population. Facts characterizing the reality of the school were identified, as well as the representations made of the violence. The study followed a qualitative approach that made use of the method of case studies. Data were collected in interviews and in observations of relationships at school. The choice of a school attended to socioeconomic criteria of the resident population, to the situation of violence in the school surroundings, and to the violence within the school itself. The results indicate that manifestations of violence typical of the outside reality are penetrating the school, and also the way in which such representations interfere in the conduct of education workers and agents. These representations can be related to two moments. The first when reports of intense violence raise feelings of fear and insecurity among the school players, hampering or even precluding the action of education; and the second moment, starting with the arrival of a new school principal, when attempts are made to reverse the situation via the adoption of a rigid discipline. The effects of this latter change reveal, on the one hand, perceptions as to the reduction of violence associated to the external reality, specifically as related to drug traffic within the school, and, on the other hand, they show the production of an institutional violence that excludes those resistant to the new order of things.

Este artigo tem como objetivo central investigar as conexões e os distanciamentos entre a violência em meio escolar e a violência nos bairros de onde provém sua clientela. Procuraram-se identificar fatos que caracterizam a realidade escolar como também as representações sobre a violência. O estudo teve uma abordagem qualitativa, no qual foi utilizada a metodologia de estudo de caso. Os dados foram obtidos por meio de entrevistas e observações das relações escolares. A escolha da escola esteve pautada em critérios socioeconômicos da população residente, na condição de violência no entorno e na situação de violência da própria escola. Os resultados obtidos indicam tanto a existência de manifestações de violência, próprias da realidade externa penetrando o interior das escolas, quanto o modo como essas representações interferem na conduta dos profissionais e agentes da educação. Essas representações têm por referência dois momentos. O primeiro em que relatos de acentuada violência estimulam sentimentos de medo e insegurança entre os atores da escola, impedindo ou dificultando a ação educativa. Um segundo momento, datado a partir da chegada de nova direção, no qual são percebidas tentativas de reversão desse quadro mediante adoção de disciplina rígida. Os efeitos dessa mudança revelam, por um lado, percepções quanto à redução da violência associada à realidade externa, em especial à presença do tráfico de drogas nas dependências da escola; por outro, evidenciam a produção de uma violência institucional, que exclui aqueles resistentes à nova ordem.
