CORSINO, Luciano Nascimento  and  ZAN, Dirce Djanira Pacheco e. Occupation as a school decolonization process: notes on an ethnographic research. ETD [online]. 2017, vol.19, n.1, pp.26-48. ISSN 1676-2592.  https://doi.org/10.20396/etd.v19i1.8647751.

The year 2015 was marked by the phenomenon of occupations of 213 state public schools of São Paulo. The present work composes a doctoral research and its main objective is to present a reflection on the experience of a researcher in an occupation carried out by young students in a public state school of São Paulo. Through an ethnographic research, we added 15 hours of observation and records in field diaries within the occupation of a school located in the north area of São Paulo. Among the observed facts, the strong autonomy of the young occupants, the democratic environment built in everyday relationships and promoted events, such as open classes and workshops, as well as the constant tension in the relationships established with the subjects opposed to the occupation. It was verified that the experience of the occupation contributed effectively to the reflection of the students on the construction of a democratic school.
