Abstract

This article presents an ethnographic inquiry and intervention circuit created during a research between 2013 and 2015 in five school in Santiago de Chile, which aimed to document the production of normality and difference in school spaces. The theoretical and methodological frameworks answer the question How to do ethnography and intervention when the research question is situated under the normality production. The results show how the neutralized cultural and social processes are a productive space for the reflection necessary to transform the teaching practices.
