É possível renascer das cinzas?:

o núcleo de estudos implicado na construção de um currículo-fênix sobre corpo, gênero e sexualidade no Novo Ensino Médio

Abstract

With the curricular reform generated by the New High School, have discussions about the body, gender and sexuality been put to an end? Is it possible to [re]construct curricular spaces to dialog about these themes? What do students want to discuss when issues of body, gender and sexuality are presented in an elective curricular component? Based on this, this article discusses the study core as a powerful space, a loophole for debating the body, gender and sexuality at school in the face of anti-gender counter-movements that wish to silence these debates. Taking a post-critical and post-structuralist approach, we think of the construction of the study core from the perspective of a phoenix curriculum, due to its potential to be "reborn" in adverse social and political conditions. By distancing itself from a plastered, pre-determined curriculum, the core became a place of greater freedom and the unpredictable. The students expressed interest in topics such as self-acceptance, sexual diversity and sexual health. They showed discomfort with social norms that impose investment in certain bodies. Despite the desire to discuss sexual diversity, there is an insistence on regulating and normalizing dissident sexualities. With regard to sexual health, students found it difficult to see prevention as a way of reducing vulnerabilities to STIs/AIDS.
