ABSTRACT

This paper brings an ethnographic experience to bear on the existing research field of school bullying, rounding out our understanding by focusing on an essential aspect: children’s culture. Based on 14 months of fieldwork and a close analysis of the case of Anat, a 9-year-old victim of bullying, the paper identifies a unique formation of school bullying with no leading bully. Drawing from theoretical approaches which focus on pupils’ everyday life, the paper asserts that bullying without a leading bully is rooted in children’s culture which effectively enforces bullying as a binding norm by constructing its object as disgusting. The paper explores how disgust shapes school bullying into a collective omnipresent rejection. It also discusses intervention programmes and suggests that within such a social position, one practice to consider would be transferring to a new environment where bullied pupils will not be forced to cope with collectively enforced prejudices.

本文将人种学的经验应用于现有的学校欺凌研究领域，并通过关注一个基本方面（儿童文化）来完善我们的理解。根据14个月的实地调查以及对9岁欺凌受害者阿纳特（Anat）案件的仔细分析，该论文确定了学校欺凌的独特形成，没有领导欺凌。该论文从关注学生日常生活的理论方法出发，断言，没有领导欺负行为的欺凌根源于儿童文化，通过将其构成令人厌恶的对象，有效地将欺凌作为具有约束力的规范来实施。本文探讨了厌恶如何将学校欺凌变成无所不在的集体拒绝。它还讨论了干预计划，并建议在这样的社会地位下，
