Speech, affections, sound and noise: children and their ways of living and participating in school. Rev. Elet. Educ. [online]. 2018, vol.12, n.1, pp.151-168.

The present paper analyzes the speech, the affections, the sounds and the noise, as forms of children’s expressions as they inhabit and participate in school. We were interested in examining how these complementary sonic and affective contours of discourse are associated with the students’ actions and their involvement with school and its demands. The empirical research, conducted in eleven public schools, comprehending over 400 students from Elementary and High School, used participant observation and discussion groups as its method. The results evidenced the importance of affections, emotions and nonverbal expressions to understand the social and generational dynamics which produce the political conditions of speech and listening for children at school. Through categories named as ‘complaints’, ‘passivity’ and ‘imaginary disrupters’, we analyze how the actions of students can be read as an important expression of what they think and feel about the process of transmission and a way of constructing collective senses to the student’s unique position vis-a-vis the adult.
