Between silences and silencing: gender relations, sexualities and History teaching

Abstract

This article is part of an already completed research that investigated the relationships between visual culture, curriculum, teacher training, and education. As a methodological instrument, a qualitative questionnaire was applied with open questions. In this text, we are going to work with the answers of the students of the course of Pedagogy of a federal public university to two questions that said on the teaching of History, the relations of gender and the sexualities. We are taking the educational space and the teaching of History as producers and carriers of gender relations and sexualities and, therefore, as responsible for processes of silence and silence that affect the modes of subjectivation, constituting ways of subjects to put themselves in the world and think to themselves. A problematic of research and analysis that brings us closer to the poststructuralist perspective, especially Foucauldian inspiration, which understands education as a broader process of the constitution of subjects that occurs in the production of discourses and knowledge.
