Descrizione
Riassunto:This article analyzes the mechanisms that, from the colony until modern day, have modeled both the body and the conception of gender in school population in Colombia. Through an archeology of moral, civil, urban and hygiene discourses, it shows how a pedagogical and biopolitical device has been built to adapt and maintain gender roles, stereotypes, and sexuality, based on mandatory heterosexuality. This ends up generating exclusion and discrimination against non-normative expressions in society and school. We conclude by mentioning how, in the last few years, pedagogical practices have emerged to resist hegemonic powers and discourses by introducing the classroom and the school environment to a concept of corporeality, by applying gender perspective in the curriculum, by implementing transversal projects, but also by motivating sorority dynamics, new masculinities and comprehensive sexual education focused on rights and gender equity. This is representing a pedagogical turn in the way we address gender, body, and sexuality at school.
