As vozes que ecoam (n)o mundo: as identidades sexuais em aulas de Língua Portuguesa

Abstract

Faced with the regularity of homophobic speech and behaviour in schools, crystallized through jokes and the erasure of dissident figures in sexuality, the classroom becomes a locus for the reproduction of prejudice. As a way of creating a territory of resistance, this project, located in the Portuguese Language curriculum, aims to build a formative path in which students build a visibility campaign for LGBTQIAPN+ personalities on the social network Instagram. To this end, the proposal articulates the assumptions of multilingualism (Cope; Kalantzis, 2000) and queer language education (Mazzaro, 2021), without losing sight of the guidelines of the National Common Curriculum Base (BNCC, 2018). In terms of organization, the work presents the motto and justification that supports the choice of sexuality issues, describes the theoretical viewpoint from which the didactic actions are developed, lists the justifications for enrolling in each activity and closes with the offer of a teacher's manual. The didactic proposal comprises four modules, with six activities, in which digital environments such as Canva, Trello, Google Docs and Instagram are explored. It is hoped that this proposal will enable students to become citizens and critics of the linguistic and historical specificities that encompass the different ways in which dissident personalities are erased, while at the same time building alternative paths for the visibility of emblematic public figures in the multiple contexts of Brazilian culture.
