Manifesta por uma educação sem juízo: artivismos das dissidências sexuais e de gêneros, censuras e educação

Abstract

This research brings as topics of interest gender and sexuality issues understood as axes of power in dispute in the ambit of the educational policies and practices nowadays. It interests to discuss and problematize the relations between the artivisms of sexual and gender dissents, arts and education censorship movements, starting from the following question: How the artivisms of sex and gender dissents can inspire the production of insurgencies in the field of education? The efforts of the investigation were focused on four artivists scenes/productions that involve the sexual and gender dissents: the launch of the children and youth book The princess and the seamstress (2015), by the writer Janaína Leslão; the play The Gospel according to Jesus, Queen of Heaven (2016), starring the actress Renata Carvalho; the performance La Bête (2017) by the artist Wagner Schwartz and the series Born to Ahazar (works of art Transvestite Lambada and Goddess of the waters and Adriano Bafônica and Luiz França She-rá) by the artist Bento Ben Leite (2013), exhibited in the Queermuseum – Cartographies of difference in Brazilian art (2017). From a look at the scenes and conversations established with the artists, I tried to understand the processes of regulations and controls that involved recent movements of censorship of artistic manifestations that addressed sex and gender dissents in Brazil, trying to identify the possible resonances of those censorship acts in the field of education. In the movement of writing of the thesis, I mobilize concepts and affectations that emerge from the theoretical productions of feminisms, queer studies and counter-colonial productions and adopt the writing also as a disobedient performance. From the exercise of thinking with the theories, in alliance with the thoughts of Glória Anzaldúa, val flores, Jup do Bairro, Rosana Paulino and Paul Preciado, I chart the methodological paths of research, understanding that epistemology, ontology and methodology need to be in constant talk. With unstable gestures of a cuir/queer research, I show the making of a Cuiratorship as a way of research. I make use of official documents of the Vatican and the Catholic Church; governmental notes, decisions and projects; antigender bills; censorship events and attacks on the social networks, in addition to talks with some of the people directly involved in the episodes narrated and, from a multifocal look, I turn to think on art, education, censorship and the production of the idea of a childhood under threat. Inspired by the thinker val flores and by bet that we can create interruptions/interruqciones in the hegemonic norm, the scenes are understood as Demonized Fictions faced with the impositions of the cisheteropatriarchal and colonial binary system. The idea of causing interruptions/interruqciones in the hegemonic order, of thinking art and education as possibilities of critical ruptures in the binary programming of genders and sexualities and in the colonial order still in force inspire the making of a senseless education.
