“Você é um homem ou um rato”: narrativas de como ser homem na educação

Abstract

I grew up writing private diaries. However, when I got my masters degree, I was invited to re-read my writings. As I re-read it I realized that I did not write about the racial issue. This absence became a highly relevant fact that made me realize and question myself about the powerful of schooling that taught me to be a man, or rather to be male, white, heterosexual and christian, fundamentally. So today, I visualize that a "pedagogy" circulates within different educational spaces (at school, in the family, in religious spaces, in leisure spaces, in the media, in the street, at work, etc.) that ends up (re)producing inequalities of race, gender and sexuality. In this perspective, social markers of race, gender and sexuality will be presented in a vision, intersectional, polymorphic and polyphonic. According to Narrative Studies; I conjugate the verb to write/search attached to the verb to exist. And so, I'm narrating what happens to me, I write what touches me as a minor people, bastard, always unfinished.
