DI NAPOLI, Pablo Nahuel. Sense and uses of "bad looking" as an axis of conflict among students. Reflexiones [online]. 2018, vol.97, n.2, pp.71-85. ISSN 1659-2859.  http://dx.doi.org/10.15517/rr.v97i2.32281.

In this article we look into the meanings that young people build behind the practices of ways of eye gazing, especially to a particular type of gaze that constitutes a constant conflict axis at school: the"bad eye"or "angry stare". In the first part of this article, we recover the theoretical contributions of the sociological field about face and eye gaze from a relational perspective. Secondly, we analyze the meanings that high school students confer to the "bad eye" stare and the type of practices linked to it at academic environments. The empirical corpus consists of sixty in-depth interviews to young from two state high schools in Buenos Aires, Argentina. We conclude that through the look come into play different aspects of youth individuality that educators should take into account when acting on sociodynamics of conflicts in schools.

Keywords : Young people; Face; Subjetivity; Body; School; Meaning.
