Meninas na escola: (im)possibilidades para (des)construções mediadas pelas relações de gênero

Abstract

Gender studies are increasingly gaining ground in educational research. Thus, I dedicated myself to discussing gender relations, closely linked to power relations, articulating them to the (im)possibilities experienced by the subjects inserted in school, especially the experiences of girls. The research was conducted in a public school in a town in southern Minas Gerais. Considering that, most often, girls from an early age, are educated in order to behave according to the speeches, the normalization and impositions of gender which tend to encourage them to docility and passivity. We also observe a few strategies, (un) foreseen, (im) probable, a few resistances experienced by them in their living areas. In this research, basing myself in the post- structuralist framework, I question the utterances, statements and non-statements done by the girls themselves by their teachers, by an employee and by two fellows, who participated in the focus group and the proposed interviews. From problematizations performed, it was possible to observe the need to (de) constructing discourses which dichotomize and impose behaviors, as well as the multiple (im) possibilities arising from relationships involving the school setting and their subjects.
