MONTEIRO, Leonardo Henrique Brandão  and  ZUIN, Antonio Alvaro Soares. Moral enactions of the future in the school: Thoughts about an intersubjective moral background. Rev. Educ. Questão [online]. 2023, vol.61, n.69, e-32438.  Epub Dec 19, 2023. ISSN 1981-1802.  https://doi.org/10.21680/1981-1802.2023v61n69id32438.

The article discusses students' conceptions of the future projected by themselves, or about them by other school actors and their links to certain moralities in the school environment. To achieve this, it undertakes reflections that allow us to understand the ways in which the future is embodied in the daily life of school institutions. The methodology used had an ethnography and was complemented by a series of semi-structured interviews. In the school analyzed, an intersubjective normative background was identified, shared, to a greater or lesser extent, by everyone. This background was articulated and crossed by several other moralities and built a certain symbolic horizon. We identified four ideal types that provided a framework of intelligibility for the ways in which the future was activated in the daily relationships. These will guide reflection, but they do not function as students' destinies or fixed positionings in this social space.

Keywords : Intersubjective normative background; School discipline/indiscipline; School moralities; Projects and projections of future.
