CORPO, GÊNERO E BELEZA: O QUE A EDUCAÇÃO INFANTIL TEM A VER COM ISSO?

Abstract

The article is the result of interaction between the research that the authors develop within the Education in conjunction with the studies of (visual) culture and based on the language theories of Bakhtin and visual culture of Hernandez. It aims to investigate the contemporaneous images that circulate on culture and their associations with different conceptions of beauty, gender and body. More specifically, we are interested in examining how these images interpellate young children in Early Childhood Education and their implications for gender relations and the kind of subject that it forms. We are also interested in the conceptions of beauty, body and gender constructed by children. From the approach to the academic debate on the issue, we aim: to analyze the processes involved in the appropriations made by the children images of female and male body and its relations with the patterns of beauty and normality in circulation on their educational and non-educational spaces
