Testigos de Jehová e imaginario normalista en la escuela primaria: Identidades en colisión

Abstract

Eyecatching problem and al the same time mostly overlooked, the confliet among the Jehova's Witnesses and the elementary school teachers in public schools has implications that transcend to the aetors. In this artiele we are focused on the teachers, as the less studied pan of the confliet (this does not mean to minimize the problem, or make them responsible), and from the contributions of identity theories, the gremial historic analysis, and from the revision of the phenomenological implications of their daily life, we try to understand thcir posture and their answers. The indagation suggeststhat an important pan of their postures respeet to patriotic symbols is determined by political-historical factors, phenomenological faetors, and psychological, religious, and ethnical-Iabor faetors, even though they have no intended pedagogical consequences.
