A violência no campo: representações sociais de futuros professores campesinos

Abstract

The present work analyzed the social representations about the violence of students of the course of teacher training for rural schools in a university in Brazil. Seventeen interviews were conducted with students of this training who are related to the field. Data analysis was done with content analysis conjugated with lexical analysis through the software IRaMuTeQ® and revealed five classes of representational content, each linked to a descriptive or interventional aspect about violence in the field. The social representation on violence for the group of students is organized around the description / experience and the intervention / collective action that reproduces the tensions between agribusiness and agriculture and between the social movements of the countryside and landowners. It was possible to verify that this is a complex social representation, since it involves other representations, which, by anchoring in resistance or assistentialism discourses, can represent a step forward or backward in terms of access to public policies.
