Corpos LGBT na escola e na prisão : aparecimento, educação e potências.

Abstract

This aims to understand what happens to spaces hegemonically occupied by cisgender and heterosexual people, when LGBT bodies appear. It was developed in the line of research “Education, Culture and Production of Subjects”, of the Postgraduate Program in Education at the University of Santa Cruz do Sul - UNISC. Using Deleuzian cartography as a methodological tool, the research fields were, the school, in the form of the “escrevivência”, from her memories as a lesbian teacher in Basic Education; and the prison, more specifically the LGBT wing of the Cadeia Pública de Porto Alegre, known as Presídio Central, where meetings were held between the researcher and the inmates of the LGBT wing (trans women, travestis, gay, bisexual and heterosexual mens who relationships to the inmates). Problematize the presence of LGBT in schools and prisons, spaces that present radical differences, sometimes surprise with profound similarities, which demonstrate that in the same rigidity of the rules, the presence of LGBT bodies is capable of producing transformations. Therefore, the thesis is supported that the appearance of LGBT bodies causes ruptures in ci-heteronormativity, triggering processes of reconfiguration of the spaces they occupy. Appearance is understood here as what Judith Butler is about, it refers to the act of becoming visible as another body, in spaces that privilege hegemonic bodies, more specifically, cis-heterosexual bodies. Discussions are supported in the field of gender and sexuality studies, poststructuralist theoretical perspectives, masculinities, black feminism, lesbian feminism, decolonial feminism and transfeminism, in addition to literature.
