What can schools and teachers do to mitigate the consequences of armed violence? Based on this question, the experiences of black teachers working in schools affected by the armed violence in the favelas of Rio de Janeiro are narrated. Care and emotional work are recognized as fundamental elements to face this situation and imagine other futures. With the information gathered from in-depth interviews, ethnographic observation, and pedagogical workshops, we analyzed the teachers’ working conditions and the impact that armed violence and racism has had on the schools in the favelas. Finally, the notion of visceral pedagogy is proposed to understand the pedagogical efforts that teachers make to maintain life in a context of extreme vulnerability.
