BACKES, José Licínio. Scientific production on gender: epistemological and curricular issues. Sér.-Estud. [online]. 2018, vol.23, n.48, pp.139-151. ISSN 2318-1982.  https://doi.org/10.20435/serie-estudos.v23i48.1129.

This paper aims to analyze the scientific production on gender in journals ranked as A1 by CAPES Education area in the 2010-2014 period. The analysis focused on the epistemological and curricular contributions from those studies and showed that the production on gender has contributed to deconstruct the idea that there is a neutral, disinterested epistemology by evidencing that modern science is sexist, heterosexual and male chauvinist. Hence, this analysis contributes to the construction of other epistemologies, particularly those that acknowledge the political character of every kind of science. In terms of curriculum, gender studies have shown that school curricula are still grounded on heteronormativity, thus reproducing gender hierarchization and violence. They have also evidenced that the problematization of gender relations in the curricula is fundamental, as silence and non-problematization have been effective strategies to maintain heteronormativity.

Palavras-chave : gender; epistemology; curriculum.
