Cultura visual e homossexualidades na constituição de "novas" infâncias e "novos" docentes

Abstract

This paper aims at establishing the meeting points between teacher's formation, children's education and their relations to gender and sexualities. For such, I take for granted a documentary produced by an association ofhomoparentalfamilies to the schools and mainly a reduced version of this audiovisual production directed towards children andteens. My objective is to analyze the role of visual culture in building the subjectivity. As an heir of pos-structuralism, and ofthe cultural, feminist, gays and lesbian studies, the visual culture is expressed far beyond the reading of images and it gets to be quite relevant to produce the subjectivity. Therefore, the speechs, images and discoursesfrom the documentary carry on and negotiate several meanings on the construction of a reality, differentfrom "the" reality, "new" childhoods and "new" teachers.
