CESAR, Maria Rita de Assis. A diferença no currículo ou intervenções para uma pedagogia Queer. ETD [online]. 2012, vol.14, n.01, pp.351-362. ISSN 1676-2592.

The article questions normative systems that emprision body, gender and sexuality. Four characters are called up to intervene in the discussion: Thomas Beatie, Brendan Teena, Bree Osbourn and Agrado, all of them understood as narratives that overcome the body-sex-gender system. By considering Foucault’s dispositive of sexuality and the historical process of naturalizing bodies, sex and gender, we aim at questioning capture processesses such as pathologization, medicalization, exclusion and violence. Having in mind that curricular narratives for a long time have been dealing with issues such as sexuality and gender, we believe that crossing those four narratives with the discussion of the curriculum may contribute to provoke difference in a Deleuzian sense. New questions arising from queer theory or queer pedagogy produce difference at school practices by demonstrating the limits of our inteligibility system concerning our bodies, sex and gender relations. The four characters/interventions embody strong reflexive potential, one that affects the school by challenging its knowledge and experiences through new quesitions that overcome normative systems still prevailing.

Keywords : Body; Sexuality; Gender; Diference; Queer Theory.
