Abstract:
This Master´s thesis is part of the Postgraduate Program in Academic Master's Education at University Center Mais – Unimais. It seeks to verify and discuss the correlation between school dropout and student media subjectivity produced by social networks. Therefore, it qualitatively explains the phenomenon of evasion from the interdisciplinary perspective of Cultural Studies, in which the main theoretical reference is the anthropologist Paula Sibilia in the book “Networks or walls: the school in times of dispersion”. This investigation analyzes in deeply the extracurricular daily life of basic education students, mainly the logic of social networks, spectacle and entertainment. Furthermore, it discusses how the new way of behaving produced by the media is characterized and which type student is required by the school, which is influenced by Neoliberalism and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). Finally, it explores the differences of these two realities and their effects on grades and school dropout.
