The Look

The article is based on an analysis carried out on the advances made in the Argentine State in terms of rights, with regard to Integral Sexual Education and the LGTBIM and women's movements. However, and based on this recognition, in terms of policy development in the educational field, questions that guide this document are raised, with the aim of contributing, not only to a discussion related to the educational and social processes through which sexuality passes, but also the historicity of gender relations and the ways in which sexual differences are symbolized. Directing the look on discursive uses as devices of power and subordination. For this, the document invites us to think about diversity from a context, characterized by a large presence of an ethnic population, with deeply rooted cultural traditions. On these bases, problematize the homogenizing social trend, which tries to impregnate this culture in corporeality and symbolism, calling into question social groups and, in particular, the nature of this diversity. Then, there is an outcome on Integral Sexual Education in the province of Jujuy-Argentina and the discursive uses that were included in the pedagogical processes. On the other hand, it refers to policies built under the aegis of diversity rights and, in particular, sexual diversity. Finally, to establish that the discussion undertaken here stems from the concern of members of two research teams, the Sociocultural Diversity in Regional Contexts Research Unit (UNIDISO, FHyCS-UNJu, Jujuy-Argentina) and the Center for Studies and Research on Teaching and Nursing Practice (NUPEPE, EE-UFMG, Belo Horizonte-Brazil), whose area of development in the field of research is linked to Public Health, in this context, Integral Sexual Education and Sexual and Reproductive Health.

Identification Processes

ABSTRACT Purpose: This study examines the identification processes that marked the life of a subject and their possible relations with the meaning of work as a drag queen. Originality/value: This study stands out in its use of a theoretical psychoanalytic framework to analyze the life history of a professional drag queen, aiming to shed light on the senses of work from singular aspects of the worker. Research on this subject in the field of administration is usually conducted within a functionalist paradigm. Design/methodology/approach: We examined the life story of a drag queen from Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais. The choice to use “life story” as a data collection and analysis strategy allowed us to illuminate how the subject lives and articulates his story and the choice of work that allows an expression of his desire. Findings: Some points combine the subject’s identity traits with his work as a drag artist; the look and clothes are elements that sustain a fantasy that has found a place in society. One of the elements that gives meaning to the work is the link of some singular identity traits with the social dimension of work and the affections that sustain a form of social recognition.

Education In Brazil

Although recent policies in education in Brazil have included sexuality as an important theme to be discussed in the classroom, it still has not effectively created an educational context where sexuality can be discussed in a positive, non-discriminatory and culturally/historically sensitive way. This article aims at contributing to the development of training programs for sexual educators, specifically for those who are concerned with the inclusion of non-normative sexualities in the educational context. Drawing on social constructionist ideas, we have delineated a model for a training program for sexual educators in which two themes - relational engagement and focus on the process - set the context for a transformation in education. First, we offer a brief review of sexual education in Brazil. Next, we introduce the notion of "intelligibility communities" and "dialogue," as useful concepts for exploring educational alternatives. These two concepts allow us to discuss how values are generated and how they play into our accounts about what we consider to be real and good. Finally, inspired by one of our training programs, we illustrate some ways in which these theoretical resources can be used in training activities.

Educational Field

A philosophical analysis of J. Butler's performativity in relation to Comprehensive Sexual Education is carried out, which allows us to understand the implicit heterosexist matrix of intelligibility in pedagogies of gender and sexuality. In the context of implementation of Comprehensive Sexual Education in Argentina and based on research on its achievements and challenges, it is argued that this gender perspective contributes to overcoming binary approaches that stigmatize sexual diversity. As an interdisciplinary contribution to the educational field, reflection from performativity enhances changes in curricular content that Queer and feminist movements demand, as well as liberating displacements of the norms in school practices.

And Gender

This paper briefly highlights key challenges faced in advancing women’s rights in the last two decades. It draws attention to ‘gains and gaps’ in the implementation of the UN Beijing Platform for Action (1995) and the UN Millennium Development Goals (2000). It marks the evolution of a new compact on women’s human rights and gender equality through the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that has been universally endorsed by governments, donors, women’s movements, civil society and other stakeholders. Women’s groups have consistently been raising critical questions of how equality, inclusion and participation would be embedded in a world structured around grave inequalities and exclusions. While the framework of the paper is global, it throws light on two critical areas in India—the economic empowerment of women and ending violence against women—with pointers regarding how these commitments could be better realised in the implementation of the SDGs, especially SDG Goal 5. The paper concludes by sharing information on how some countries are developing mechanisms to advance SDG 5 and draws attention to the lack of data and monitoring measures for gender equality. It emphasises that for transformative changes, governments need to engage with women’s organisations for policy development and implementation.

The province of Québec (Canada) has adopted a series of legislation aimed at granting legal equality to all its citizens, regardless of sexual orientation. Despite a number of governmental and school-level policies and initiatives against homophobia, schools in the province remain heteronormative environments: homophobic comments are daily occurrences, sexual education classes have been abolished, and textbooks seldom include references to sexual diversity. This chapter critically discusses policies and strategies in education practice aimed at reducing and preventing homophobia and promoting an inclusive learning environment for LGBT students. It also presents the efforts undertaken by activists and scholars to challenge noninclusive education practices and to collectively promote equality for LGBT youth. With a strong backdrop of anti-bullying legislation, Quebec province is ahead of many in establishing parameters to fight homophobia but still lacks the concrete curricular and training tools to back these efforts in an effective and long-term manner.
