"Eu sinto que eu sempre me encaixei nessa coisa de não ser homem e não ser mulher”: tecendo saberes e experiências da não-binaridade de gênero

Abstract

This text is about encounter experiences. Meeting with a research perspective in Education, meeting with non-binarity of gender, meeting with people who differ from gender binary, meeting with difference. All these meetings - and still others - produced this research that stirs in the questions of gender and Education and that launches to the breaking of binarismos. Of the questions that I put together in this text I highlight one that crosses all others: how have experiences in non-binarity of gender moved other experiences? I use poststructuralist theoretical-methodological flaps, poetic flaps by Federico García Lorca and narrative flaps to form this quilt. The narratives were produced through conversations with three people who do not fix their identities as female or male, but try to deterritorialize this binary. I have talked to each person two or three times, and their stories have made them the co-authors of this text and research - to narrate it during these conversations was also a (re)invention of our own gender differences. I observe and explore some crossings between the narratives and the readings of authors of the field of Gender and Education: the identification of a matrix of binary gender produced by diverse spaces and institutions and that will provoke strong subjections; the attempts to break with such a matrix from bodily, aesthetic, and moral dimensions; and the relations (harmonious or uncomfortable) constituted from this break with himself and with the world. research that vibrated in me seams of destabilization, provocations and questions, much more than certainties: "I would leave this book in my soul ..." (LORCA, 2004: 571).
