Processos de escolarização e sua relação com o suicídio de jovens LGBT

Abstract

This present dissertation, linked to the Research Line Knowledge and Educational Practices of the Programa de Pós-Graduação em Educação da Universidade Federal de Uberlândia (PPGED/UFU) and to the Research Group Grupo de Pesquisa em Educação, Sexualidades e Performatividades (GPESP), is the objectivation of a study focuses on problematizing how the school experiences of LGBT subjects who are undergraduates in the Federal University of Uberlandia at the age group of 18 to 29 years, can present factors which contributed to the elaboration of the suicidal process. From the qualitative approach were elaborated two instruments of research: A questionary to profile the participants and a semi structured interview. The gathered data were subjected to a discourse analysis at the Foucauldian perspective and the scientific literature which considers the sociocultural and educational aspects of suicide. We obtained in total answers of 31 young university students cishetero dissidents and conducted 7 interviews about the subject. The results were expressed in three categories which indicate: a) how school injuries, intersecting with markers of gender, sexuality, religion, body shape, capacity, race and social class produce effects to the cishetero dissident subjectivity; b) the narrow relation between the production of the abjection in school environments and the construction of a suicidal process; c) possibilities, through pedagogical actions and public policy, in their effects on schooling experiences in both school and university, of expanding the recognition of humanities. The data generated illuminated by the listed theorizations can contribute to the debate on suffering and issues related to sexual and gender diversity. Furthermore, it can enable education strategies to prevent suicide in young LGBT individuals
