MACHADO JR, Luiz Bosco Sardinha. The formation of the schol authority concept in children in brazilian cultur e: An essay on its peculiarities and reflections in democratic coexistence. Educere [online]. 2009, vol.13, n.45, pp.519-522. ISSN 1316-4910.

This text is an essay about the formation of the school authority concept in children, and its specifications in the Brazilian historical-cultural context. Its aim is to present a debate on the politic formation of children and its relation with public space in Brazilian reality. The process of forming a social concept is understood as a product of social relations in a specific context. The concept of “cordial man”, that familiarizes or imposes an intimate aspect to relations in public spaces, is a characteristic in the Brazilian context. It is concluded by debating the need to make clear the distinction between intimate and public space for democratic coexistence.

Keywords : social concepts; school authority; Brazilian context; democratic coexistence.
