DI NAPOLI, Pablo. Critical reflections upon the notion of bullying from a case study. An analysis of the symbolic struggles for the power over nomination in schools . Espac. blanco, Ser. indagaciones [online]. 2018, vol.28, n.2, pp.33-48. ISSN 1515-9485.

The term bullying is increasingly used to refer ge- nerically to various situations of violence occur- ring in the school space. This article poses a dou- ble objective. In the first place, it seeks to char- acterize and differentiate critically the problem of bullying, from a more extensive phenomenon such as the field of violence at schools. Secondly, it analyzes the symbolic effects of the use of the term bullying, based on a case of a group of high school students that calls itself "the bullying". As part of a qualitative research framework during the year 2012 carried out 35 in-depth interviews and a focus group with students of a high school of State management of Buenos Aires province, in Argentina.
