ROSEIRO, Steferson Zanoni  and  CARVALHO, Janete Magalhães. The insult of ugliness at school: insurrections against the capital. child.philo [online]. 2020, vol.16, e46746.  Epub Mar 26, 2020. ISSN 1984-5987.  https://doi.org/10.12957/childphilo.2020.46746.

Wondering what would happen with the logics of control if the ugly took over the school, this article considers fabulation as a method of research to produce fables of insurrection against the Capital. It assumes that in the contemporary context, the embellishment practices have become a manner of control over the body. Thus, the ugliness - commonly recognized as being the opposite of beauty - is presented as a way of confronting the regulator beauty. Methodologically, the research was conducted in a public school in the city of Cariacica/ES. The fabulations were created on encounters with classes of 6th and 7th grades with the objective of creating stories of ugliness as a manner of creating life in school, confronting the controlling-capitalistic logics. At the end, even the more controlling of bodies induces an unexpected taste for life. Precisely for that, ugliness refuses the idea of world peace. Peace is created to anesthetize affection, so there is no conversion between different forms of life. On the other hand, ugliness attracts ugliness, or, in an even more peculiar way, creates ugliness where before there seemed to be only beauty. And the ugliness creates insurrections infinitely.
