The hurricane of loquacious sexuality: speeches about control and power

Abstract

This article presents a discussion on the topic of sexuality and gender, with the premise of surveillance and control over bodies and identities, presenting a historical and social panorama surrounding the topic. It aims to discuss social and historical issues surrounding the subject, which have a direct impact on education, therefore, it becomes relevant for the contribution of themes related to teacher training. As a methodological procedure, bibliographical research was used, which is linked to data already published by other authors, such as books and articles. From a transdisciplinary perspective, the research, of a qualitative nature, is inserted in the context of historical cultural studies, especially the Foucauldian approach. With history as a guiding thread, cultural historical studies allow us to understand subjects that go beyond the limits of reason, highlighting differences and particularities, moving away from homogenizations, without cultural hierarchies. The results contribute to the understanding of the problems that permeate the themes of gender and sexuality, encompassing not only the school, but the broader social context.
