Abstract

From the problematization of statements about the endorsement of the Goiás population to the militarization of public schools in the state network, the study selects and categorizes texts published between 2015 and 2018 in the Goiás newspaper "O Popular" on the theme "military school." From theoretical keys presented by Bourdieu (2008; 1987), it describes and analyzes the positions that emerge there about the militarization process of the schools of the state public network of Goiás. For this, we use the utterance concept in Bakhtin (1997) as an element that makes up the discourse of public opinion, whose characteristics touch on common sense about education and militarization policy. Next, we seek to understand how these positions are engendered and articulated as foundations of a supposed "public opinion." Thus, besides the "sociological vision" prescribed by Bourdieu, the study uses theoretical keys formulated by Marx and Engels. It uses Carvalho (2013) and Aquino (2014) to discuss the dynamics of the school environment. Throughout the text, we present possibilities for understanding the sociocultural bases that energize the positions that "public opinion" manifests. Moreover, the study made it possible to describe the social place in which the discourses that defend the militarization of education in Goiás operate.
