GÊNERO, SEXUALIDADE E RELAÇÕES DE PODER

UMA ANÁLISE DO REFERENCIAL CURRICULAR DO ENSINO MÉDIO POTIGUAR

Abstract

The theme of gender and sexuality is increasingly relevant, considering the strengthening of spaces of struggle and resistance today. The school, as an institution that exercises control over bodies through disciplinarization, must be aware of these issues and promote equal opportunities for the most diverse students. From this perspective, this article aims to analyze the discourse produced in the Curricular Reference of Potiguar High School, regarding the theme of gender and sexuality, as one of the Transversal Contemporary Themes, relating the power relations in the construction of the meanings and wills of true. For that, we use Discourse Analysis as a theoretical support from Foucault's studies (1988, 1995, 1998, 2004, 2008). This is a qualitative descriptive-interpretative work. We used the archeogenological method for discourse analysis, which has as corpus statements extracted from the Potiguar High School Curriculum Reference, a normative document that guides the didactic-pedagogical praxis, formulated from the High School reform. The analysis allowed us to verify that the theme emerges in the Transversal Contemporary Themes of the document as strategies of biopower and regulation of themes that involve sexuality in the school context.
