EDUCATIONAL SPACES AND THE PRODUCTION OF GAY, TRANSVESTITE AND TRANSSEXUAL SUBJECTIVITIES

ABSTRACTThe article aims to identify and understand how social levels – family, religious institutions, LGBT movements, and psychological and medical institutions – view individuals and produce their subjectivities from management strategies. We understand such instances as educational spaces because they teach people ways of being and behaving in the world. To this end, we have analyzed the discourse of gay, transvestite, and transsexual subjects produced through methodologies of thematic oral history and participant observation. We have thus concluded that the family sphere strives for coherence between sex, gender, sexual practice and expression of desire. Medical and psychological institutions seek to diagnose and normalize the attitudes of “deviant” individuals; religious institutions seek “condemning” transgressive practices; and the LGBT movements conduct the subjects’ practices while instituting appropriate postures, in coherence with the movement’s policies.
