Abstract
It analyzes student indiscipline in secondary education in Alagoas in the 19th century and the practices and tactics read as disputes fought at school and beyond. It is considered the repercussions caused by the performance of the subjects, students of secondary education, enunciated by authorities or members of society as news in the local press. Taking as sources the local periodicals like O Lyceista Alagoano, Diário das Alagoas and O Orbe, in addition to other documents stored in the Public Archive of Alagoas, the text shows tense power relations permeated by conflicts in an environment that aimed at the bonds of domination, control and discipline. The educational model marked the subjects' personalities in controlling their drives from the incorporation of a pattern of behavior produced in the constant movement of social relations. It is concluded that students took critical positions, sometimes subversive, seen as indiscipline, especially when they questioned the educational authorities resulting in tensions and conflicts that became public in the Province of Alagoas.
