GENDER, SEXUALITY AND THE IMPORTANCE OF INTERCULTURAL PEDAGOGICAL PRACTICES

Abstract

The present article aims to discuss intercultural pedagogical practices from the perspective presented by Fleury (2003) and Candau (2015, 2011). We will focus on matters involving Gender and Education, from the perception that it has been a widely discussed theme. The topic was highlighted in 2015, during which the National Education Plan (PNE, in Portuguese) was discussed for the next ten years and was emphasized due to antagonist positions regarding its inclusion on the PNE. In this article we will emphasize the practices within the media in education, dealing specifically with cinema, and the discussions of gender and sexuality in educational contexts. In order to contribute with the discussion, we will incorporate authors who deal with relationship between communication and education, such as Orozco (1997), Martin-Barbero (2013), Bacega (2009) and others. In the discussion regarding cinema, education, gender and sexuality we will attain to Louro (2014, 2013, 2008), Duarte (2009), Ferrari and Castro (2012), besides other scholars who handle the connections between media-sexuality-gender-education.
