Abstract

This chapter’s objective is to consider some of the determinants of violence present in schools, particularly that which has recently been designated bullying. These factors refer to psychological and political dimensions that constitute the consciousness necessary to resist the blind violence that destroys everything and everyone; if this consciousness is not well-formed, it contributes decisively to this destruction. The division of students into school hierarchies, the personality type encouraged by a hierarchical society and the presence or absence of an authority expresses these factors. It should be emphasised that, in our understanding of them, both psychology and politics are mediated by society, which is why violence will initially be considered in general terms and associated with society, although psychological aspects are also highlighted.

Notes

  1. 1.

    For the purposes of this book, violence and aggression are considered synonymous terms, and both are considered in their contradictions. When violence is guided by rational reasons, it is an important part of the fight against injustice; this injustice is also a form of violence but an irrational form.

  2. 2.

    Naturally, the work of thinkers belonging to the Frankfurt School or the Critical Theory of Society cannot be reduced to the thought of Marx and Freud because these authors used concepts from different philosophical systems, sociological and psychological theories and aesthetics to make their critiques. However, this addendum does not reduce the importance of Marxist and Freudian production in their works.

  3. 3.

    For this text, the concepts of moral consciousness, superego and ego ideal are considered similar, although one cannot be reduced to the other. To avoid making this chapter any longer, we do not explain the differences between them.
