STRAPASSON, Suzana Lyra. A questão do corpo e sexualidade na formação docente. Rev. Diálogo Educ. [online]. 2009, vol.09, n.27, pp.363-378. ISSN 1981-416X.

This paper intends to clarify some aspects of the issue of the body and the sexuality in the teaching training under the perspective of psychology and, for this, the chosen path is: from the sign to the symbol, from the profane to the sacred one. Eros, the god of love, or the proper love, is the biggest representative of the affections and the sexuality. It is Eros that provides intelligence and heart to the sexuality. Eros has two faces, a dark and a uminous one. Its dark side should not simply be rejected or denied for being unknown and threatening, but otherwise should be received and understood, and thus, transformed. For such, knowledge is needed. Not only the informative knowledge, but a co-birth, one to be born with, and one to emerge from the knowledge that comes from the deep day-by-day experience and is shown in words, gestures, voice tone, gaze, at last, in the body.

Keywords : Body; Sexuality; Affection; Eros; Symbol.
