TOSTA, Sandra Pereira  and  CARVALHO, Andréa Pinheiro Tomaz. Education and cultural dynamics: appropriation and (re) signification of school spaces by teenagers. Linhas Críticas [online]. 2015, vol.21, n.44, pp.117-137. ISSN 1981-0431.  https://doi.org/10.2015/lcv21n44.008.

The aim of this article is to identify and interpret the identity construction of adolescents based on tastes, styles, behaviors and school experience, perceived in the ways in which a group of students of the 3rd cycle appropriates, uses, and a confers meaning to times and spaces outside the classroom. This was a qualitative study in a municipal school in Contagem, MG, in 2007 and 2008, using a questionnaire, testimonials and systematic observation of school routines. The results show that, beyond the canonical space of the classroom, the various ways in which adolescents express themselves in cultural dynamics should be considered in education policy.
