SANTOS, Inalda Maria dos  e  BOTLER, Alice Miriam Happ. Meanings of Democracy in the School Space. J. Pol. Educ-s [online]. 2023, vol.17, e90820.  Epub 11-Out-2023. ISSN 1981-1969.  https://doi.org/10.5380/jpe.v17i0.90820.

This research aimed to apprehend the conceptions and practices of democracy / democratization that emerge in the daily life of the school. Methodologically, we conducted semi-structured interviews with members of the School Council, that is, seven interviewees from a public school of the Municipal Education Network of Maceió/Alagoas, with the purpose of perceiving the conceptions of democracy and participation. Therefore, for treatment and analysis of the data, we used content analysis, according to the suggestions that are found in Bardin (1977). The results of the research pointed out that we have characterized in the Alagoas school and, in general, Brazilian, an institutionalized democracy, which is representative democracy, a model criticized by Rancière (2014) and that generates in society a conformism, distancing itself from democracy as dissent.
