“Meninos vestem azul e meninas vestem rosa” : analisando redes discursivas e as lições de gênero do “Escola Sem Partido”

Abstract

The research presented here fits into the discursive field of gender studies, constituting a broad and plural universe that affects the educational sphere in all its dimensions. In this work we were focused on the set of utterances of the Escola Sem Partido — ESP, trying to apprehend the discursivities produced and put into circulation by this "movement", trying to identify the emerging lessons based on sexist and misogynistic statements in order to problematize them. Regarding the epistemic orientation, this research was conducted in line with the feminist discursive field and with assumptions of the post-critical research methodology. Thus, from the perspective of recognizing the interrelationship between knowledge, power and subjectivity, we sought to understand how the conception of gender and consequent discursive formations can interfere in the work with the identity of schooled subjects. Considering the repercussion of the circulation of the generalized discourses of the “Escola Sem Partido” in the materiality of the schooled processes in the course of identity elaboration and establishment, we propose, in this study, to debate processes of normalization of identities marked by gender, which was taken as a device from Foucault's perspective. To meet the objectives of this research, our research was methodologically oriented by the clues of archeology and genealogy produced by Michel Foucault (2009). That is, by defining in this study such configurations of a theoretical and methodological nature we wanted to show, in the statements of the chosen archives, the capillarity and generalized discourse produced by scattered disciplinary fields, which are not exactly innovative, but are constantly updated, exacerbated and complex the conservative, sexist, misogynist, and homophobic scenario we have experienced in contemporary times. As a result, we observed that the discourse of Escola Sem Partido is composed of discursive updates from various fields of knowledge, especially religious, whose matrix is “compulsory” heteronormativity.
