Abstract

FERRARI, Anderson  and  MARQUES, Luciana Pacheco. Homossexualidade e deficiência mental: jogos discursivos e de poder na construção dessas identidades no contexto escolar. Rev. Mal-Estar Subj. [online]. 2010, vol.10, n.2, pp. 653-672. ISSN 1518-6148.

As researchers who are interested in the different forms of manifestation of the human condition and their tensions, we try to understand the challenges that are posed so as to think about exclusion process reversal strategies established in society and at schools. Our contribution with this text will be to discuss the discursive and power games that organize negotiations among entities within the school contexts based on two cases that had happened with two students, one being related to the student's sexual orientation and the other one a mental deficiency diagnosis, within the Foucaultian logics, which means thinking of them as products of the discourses that allow students to position themselves in the manner they did. We have not concentrated the analysis on the students in particular, but on understanding them as a means through which discourses go and are updated. In order to justify our contribution, we refer to Souza and Fleuri (2003), who propose broadening the intercultural view beyond the social relations at a school among subjects of different ethnicities, also considering the person as belonging to different groups that identify one another according to generations, gender, economic class, regional location, physical and mental conditions, among others. Based on this discussion we present proposals for an education that considers these differences.
