Abstract

This article discusses a democratic culture development in public schools through the analysis of the discourse of School Council members of three public schools in Pernambuco. It adopts the culture concept proposed by Hall (1997), that joins by articulation to the discourse concept, using the reference to Discourse Theory for analysis of the empiric data. It considers that the democratic administration is not instituted by laws, but has an institutionalized character, that could be built in different ways in each school. It treats the discourse as social practice, that can maintain or transforming the social relationships. The empiric data show that the discursive practices build meanings to every school management, which are constituent of its culture. It was verified that the school administration is structured by democratic practices that can contribute, also, for the democratization process of the society.
