Curriculum, gender and sexuality. “Normal”, “different” and "eccentric”
Main Article Content
Abstract
In contemporaneity, "new" cultural identities oblige us to recognize that culture, far from being homogeneous and monolithic, is complex, multiple, inharmonious, discontinuous. A new political and theoretical movement has been put into action in recent decades, and in it, the notions of center, margin and frontier came to be questioned. This article assumes this perspective to analyze the constitution of gender and sexual differences and identities and, more specifically, the ways in which this process is expressed in the field of the curriculum. The article highlights the public and private strategies that are put into action, on a daily basis, to guarantee the stability of the "normal" identity and of all the cultural forms associated with it; as well as the strategies that are deployed to mark the "different" identities and, still, those that seek to overcome the fear and attraction provoked by the "eccentric" identities.
