Que Família? Provocações a partir da Homoparentalidade

Em tempos de modernidade liquida e sexualidade plastica, a familia se reinventou. E o divorcio e nao mais a morte que separa os casais. Assim, os principais componentes para se constituir uma familia passam a ser o afeto e a busca pela completude. O mesmo processo se da com a parentalidade, fazendo com que os vinculos de parentesco nao mais se definam puramente por lacos sanguineos. Diante desta realidade, a cada vez maior visibilidade no cenario social brasileiro da configuracao familiar dita homoparental e inevitavel. Estas familias sao o objeto deste artigo, onde se constata que o estigma da homossexualidade e ainda bastante sentido. Assim, a fundamentacao deste trabalho sugere que, a partir de uma postura pos-identitaria, se repense a constituicao de identidades cristalizadas. Desta forma, ao inves de mostrar uma saida, esta nova postura propoe que se desconstruam estruturas ja naturalizadas, atraves de um processo que sugere o questionamento de como tais estruturas chegaram a tal ponto. Propomos, desta forma uma nova postura diante da vida e de si mesmo.

The objective is to illustrate children’s expressions of fear, as far as social classes are concerned. Based on a research conducted in three schools in the southern area of ​​Rio de Janeiro, we show the effects of violence on children’s subjective productions. Using their drawings as a tool of analysis, we enhance the different productions of children belonging to different social classes as far as fear is concerned. We seek also to emphasize the role of media as a powerful agent in the production of subjectivity, encouraging a culture of fear.
