A literatura de temática homoerótica como possibilidade de trabalho com o ensino médio

Abstract

This paper proposes methodological bases, aiming at the need to discuss sexual diversity in the classroom using Brazilian Literature, which has as theme the homoeroticism or homoerotic characters, with the target audience of high school students. Thus, starting from the concept of homoeroticism from Costa (1992), sex education for diversity from Furlani (2007), the emancipation of the curriculum from Louro (2004), the silencing of sexual diversity from Miskolci (2010) and the survey of Brazilian authors that bring the theme from Camargo (2011). Then carried out analysis of some didactic books of Portuguese language, taking as its starting point the importance of literature as a discipline that allows the discovery of multiple faces of language in contact with different aspects of the Portuguese language, emphasizing it as a phenomenon and addressing the question to more consecrated authors in school education that leads to silencing of possible sex differences in literary texts. In the end, are proposed three forms of work of literary texts from the Cosson methodology (2009) that contribute to the reflection of teaching practices, which still silent the sexual diversity and do not propose new ways of dealing with prejudice.
