MACIEL, PATRÍCIA DANIELA  and  GARCIA, MARIA MANUELA ALVES. THE LESBIANISM AS PRODUCTION ART OF ONESELF AND THEIR INTERFACES IN THE CURRICULUM. Rev. Bras. Educ. [online]. 2018, vol.23, e230022.  Epub Mar 26, 2018. ISSN 1809-449X.  https://doi.org/10.1590/s1413-24782018230022.

The autobiographical accounts of a group of seven women and primary school teachers who, at some time in their lives, came out as lesbians, were used to discuss how these women create a curriculum based on gender discourses. As references, we used the notion of the experiences of Walter Benjamin, Giorgio Agamben and Jorge Larrosa, who inspired the collection and analysis of the narratives obtained. In addition to the referred studies, the contributions of Michel Foucault on sexuality and self-care, and Judith Butler’s critique of the body/sex/gender structure were also considered. It was concluded that the experience of these teachers as lesbians in schools produces a pedagogy that does not merely question the heteronormative standards, but also produces its own knowledge through which they reinvent their identities as teachers.

Keywords : curriculum; gender; lesbian teachers.
