BRITO, Leandro Teofilo de  and  LEITE, Miriam. Masculinities in School Physical education: theoretical issues and political horizons. Práxis Educativa [online]. 2017, vol.12, n.2, pp.481-500. ISSN 1809-4309.  https://doi.org/10.5212/PraxEduc.v.12i2.0011.

Based on the recognition of the urgency of the theme of gender and sexuality within the approach of the difference inclusion in School Physical education by academic research, in this article, we focus the notion of masculinity. We present and problematize the Raewyn Connell’s theory of hegemonic masculinity, as well as the queer perspective, theoretical references identified in the literature review, which is also exposed. Based on the proposal of Jacques Derrida’s deconstruction and the notion of performative gender, as developed by Judith Butler, we conclude this reflection with the proposition of normalizing masculinity and queer masculinity as search operators, in the theoretical and political will to favor openness to a more radical inclusion in research and lessons of SPE.

Keywords : School Physical education; Masculinities; Queer perspective.
