SIERRA, Jamil Cabral  e  CESAR, Maria Rita de Assis. The queer child in the movies and the subversion of gender norms and of sexuality in the school. Rev. Reflex [online]. 2016, vol.24, n.1, pp.47-60. ISSN 1982-9949.  https://doi.org/10.17058/rea.v24i1.7036.

Discussing two movies inspired by queer thematics, Tomboy and Ma vie en rose, this article intends to analyze how certain experiences with the body, gender and sexuality may subvert the heterosexual norm and thus re-signify the schools' social space, overtly pre-judgmental and excluding. The text is composed by two related moments: in the first one, we propose a short discussion centered on our understanding of queer theory and its political and theoretical potentialities. We think that queer theory is fundamental in questioning and displacing the identitarian objectification of bodies and genders. In the second moment, we discuss those movies in order to think the possibility of bodily-and-affective experiences which displace the heteronormative regime that institutes definite places for the masculine and the feminine. We also intend to point out what are the consequences of those previous analysis concerning the school and the educational field.
