A formação das identidades sexuais e de gênero: experiências de estudantes gays no espaço escolar.

Abstract

This dissertation has as its object of study the formation of the sexual and gender identities and the experiences of gay students in the school space in relation to the teaching discourse. Through the construction of dialogues with students, I analyzed their experience reports, highlighting their identity construction and the importance of the teacher and his/her discourses along this process. I have used a methodological procedure called snowball, which consists of a web, since the first gay student, when sought by me, from his own personal network, indicated another student to contribute to this research. I have chosen as theoretical reference authors such as Guacira Louro, Deborah Britzman, Márcio Caetano, among others. For data analysis, I highlight the ways in which the discourses operated producing subjectivities, articulating knowledge, positioning things, regulating ways of speaking, defining what can be said, lived and experienced regarding the sexuality of gay students. I conclude this dissertation by stating that teachers contribute to the construction and / or reconstruction of gender identities and sexualities and stablish parameters to define what is male and female in school.
