Da sociedade ao espaço escolar: discutindo a exclusão das mulheres lésbicas.

Abstract

Space says about society, since there is no space without an individual, or an individual without space. Therefore, the school space is also an instance of society that differentiates and normalizes the subjects that compose it through the various agents that work in it: teachers, managers, employees, etc. The curriculum is also used to maintain or modify such a reality, as those who build it. That is, the school space will reproduce the social constructions and standardize all and all from these. When it comes to sexual orientation, it will standardize around the constructed as hegemonic, the heteronormative. As a result of standardization, it causes all subjects who do not fit this norm to suffer discrimination, violence and / or exclusion. Therefore, the objective of the present study is to analyze the factors that contribute to the process of exclusion of lesbian women from the school space and to understand the gender issues located in the school space. In addition, to verify if the discrimination suffered by these women influenced their level of schooling, as well as to identify aspects related to the schooling of those women who suffered discrimination or withdrawal from school. As a methodological path, we use qualitative research. In this perspective, we conduct semi-structured interviews with lesbian women who still attend school and others who have already moved away from it, as well as using content analysis for the structural analysis of the interview. As a result, it was identified, through interviews, that domestic violence was a determining factor for the process of educational exclusion of lesbian women.
