Liberdade entre grades : cultura escolar no processo de educação prisional e o ensino de História na Escola Graciliano Ramos (João Pessoa - PB 2016-2023)

Abstract

This dissertation, entitled "FREEDOM BEHIND BARS: School Culture in the Process of Prison Education and the Teaching of History at Escola Graciliano Ramos (Joao Pessoa-PB 2016-2023)," investigates how the school, as an educational space situated within an environment of physical and symbolic restriction, promotes educational practices and contributes to the formation of a specific school culture. It examines the role of school education within the Silvio Porto prison unit, focusing on the educational practices and challenges of Escola Graciliano Ramos. The study discusses how the school culture shapes the history of Escola Graciliano Ramos and explores the characteristics of the teaching and learning process in History classes. It aims to highlight the role of History education in a context of incarceration, identifying the objectives of such education for individuals deprived of freedom. The research adopts a qualitative approach, based on document analysis, participant observation, and bibliographic review. Documents such as the school's Political-Pedagogical Project, the Penal Execution Law, and historical sources that contextualize education in spaces of deprivation of liberty are considered. The theoretical framework is grounded in authors such as Escolano, Viñao Frago, Paulo Freire, and Michel Foucault, discussing the school as an ambivalent space where promises of emancipation intersect with practices of control and discipline.
