FREITAS, Lilliane Miranda y CHAVES, Silvia Nogueira. DENATURALIZING THE GENDERS: AN ANALYSIS OF BIOLOGICAL DISCOURSE. Ens. Pesqui. Educ. Ciênc. [online]. 2013, vol.15, n.3, pp.131-147. ISSN 1983-2117. https://doi.org/10.1590/1983-21172013150308.
This research investigated reports in the magazine Superinteressante, how gender identity is constituted in the biological/ scientific discourse, and social productivity of these discourses. It is based on the theoretical fields of Michel Foucault and the Cultural Studies, in order to consider the connection between power/knowledge of production of gender through biological discourse published in the cultural pedagogies. In this investigation, evidence indicated that the biological discourses predominantly justify and naturalize the masculinity and femininity as biological evidence, which eventually produces and legitimizes supposedly natural ways of being male or female and socially behaviors expected. However, the genders are understood as socio-historical and cultural constructions, born from power-knowledge relationships, and where femininity and masculinity are not only constituted by biological characteristics.
