“Eu acho que a minha identidade de professora é homossexual”: narrativas e experiências de professor@s homossexuais

Abstract

In this paper, I bring what was produced from my meeting with seven teachers who self identify as homosexual. Consisting me as host of other lives, presenter of seven different lives. Were invited to be co-authors of this research basic education teachers, given the few existing studies that relate sexuality of these teachers with the teaching profession. The research question examined in this part of the following concerns: "What are the narratives, experiences and modes that constitute homosexual teachers?". Use as a theoretical and methodological framework poststructuralist perspective. From this perspective could question the ways in which teachers constitute themselves as homosexual teachers and discuss how these teachers will be producing power relations, in relations with each other, and especially how they relate to the academic institution. In an attempt to immerse themselves in the field and look for information to be problematized, threw hand narrative interviews, facing this research tool not only as a set of isolated lines, but as narratives themselves these subjects because narrate a fact is not just reporting or live what has passed, implies a certain experience. Coming out as a teacher homosexual organizes the way the subject behaves in school, experiencing an ongoing process of negotiation with others and with yourself. While such an attitude is a political act that exposes the multiple possible ways of sexuality. Homosexual teachers will boldly creating their own stocks and away from the heteronormative pattern of being, by suspending beliefs and binary logic (man/woman, normal/abnormal, homosexual/ heterosexual, etc.) that are around us in abridging of experiencing different lifestyles. Thus, homosexual teachers pique others and themselves to rethink the social practices that give meaning and govern our contemporary society. During this crossing did not intend nor wished to produce certainties and/or truths, by contrast, had them problematized, called into question discussed, shaken and cut up.
