Abstract

CESAR, Maria Rita de Assis; DUARTE, André  and  SIERRA, Jamil Cabral. Governamentalização do Estado, movimentos LGBT e escola: capturas e resistências. Educação. Porto Alegre [online]. 2013, vol.36, n.02, pp.192-200. ISSN 1981-2582.

Foucault’s notion of governamentality permited him to reflect on the historical constitution of the modern State and its technological policies to conduct the life of a given population. We discuss the relation between Brazilian State, LGBT social movements (lesbians, gays, bisexuals, transexuals, travesties and transgenders) and their educational and juridical demands aiming at the social integration of that particular population. Our hypothesis is that in spite of many political advances, the process of State governamentalization of this specific population contains some dangerous collateral side-effects, such as the imprisoning of those social and educational movements in the cage of an identity logics that tends to normalize those political subjects as well as to tame the creativity and the critical dimension of their demands. Finally, we consider Foucault’s notion of aesthetics of existence and queer attitude as a theorical means for exercising new forms of post-identitarian resistances.

Keywords : Foucault; LGBT Social Movements; Educational Politics; Queer Theory.
