Abstract

SEVERINO, Fulvio Cesar Garcia. Disputes for wills to truth on bodies in school: the phenotypical device of homophobia and racism. Rev. Elet. Educ. [online]. 2018, vol.12, n.3, pp.867-883. ISSN 1982-7199.  https://doi.org/10.14244/198271992560.

In this study, seven reports on homophobia (four) and racism (three) published in G1 news website were discursively analyzed. All the reports presented separately these two themes in school, bound to the subject’s bodies. The analysis has focused on how “wills to truth” about the blacks’, gays’ and lesbians’ body built discursive struggles displacing them from the rule and underlining their differences. Basically, there was a tendency in producing and naturalizing characteristics with phenotypical effects, which sometimes underline differences, diminishing them, and sometimes block or shift equalities, when they weaken the rules. In this process, subjectivities are controlled through the objectification of the subjects’ bodies.

Keywords : Homophobia; Racism; Phenotypical device; Wills to truth..
