This article describes aspects of the research done in the social imaginary of violence, in a selective group of secondary school teachers in Montevideo, Uruguay, from November 2010 until June 2011.The aim was to identify and analyses the imaginary meanings of violence and the effects on the health in the subjectivity. It is a qualitative study, from the theoretical framework; it is phenomenological with and hermeneutical-dialectical design. The technique used was the one of in-depth interviews. The social imaginary of violence is shown in the expressive subjective forms, as a representation, of the institutional influences, the educational policies in the emerging to do/to be: “be the ethical, professional and pedagogical model” and it is exuded in the image of “to have one’s neck in a noose”. It is the emerging/ image of “we are unsympathetic” that visualizes the impact on the processes of subjectivity and shows the effects on the health on “to be about to fall”. The instituting movement is outlined in what emerges from the “scriptwriter” who introduces new ways of being/doing, a new teaching role arises. This study permitted the elucidation in the subjectivity, and it demands intervention in three levels: the systems, the organization and the group of teachers and, in the subjects generating a healthy environment.
