Conflicts framed as bullying: category that increases tensions and precludes analysis

This text is interested in debating the framework of certain relationships in a category named bullying and its emergency in the Brazilian context, understood as a contemporary practice that overdresses specially the school. It puts in analysis the penal logic registered in this practice of identity, having as reference the fundaments of the State of Rights, which define functions for specialists and feed the construction of laws. This is a mark of the present punitive society, in which the aggressor is conduced through the roads of the judicialization and medicalization, seen as a possible delinquent, and the victim is despotencialized. It can be seen an adjustment of the phenomena of population according to the economical processes: bullying is inscribed in the logic of the norm, as says Foucault, own of the arts of judging.
