Imagens narrativas de "mulher" produzidas por sujeitos praticantes do currículo do IFES

Abstract

According to Foucault, women have been the object of desire in power-knowledge whose proliferation in discourse has historically served certain purposes. Practitioner Subjects (CERTEAU, 1996) of everyday school life are among the many enunciations about women, negotiating such discourses (BHABHA, 2010) and creating other narrativeimages (FERRAÇO, 2011) of women . In this thesis, I discuss the narrativeimages of women produced by subjects from technical courses at the Instituto Federal do Espírito Santo (Ifes), such as the gender and power relations (LOURO, 2010, 2008, 2003) that are weaved in there. I problematize the data of research methodologically grounded in the movements suggested by Alves (2003), also using narratives and conversations of the practitioner-subjects from Ifes curriculum. In addition, some students art experimentations on the topic women are also drawn on for this discussion. By problematizing the narrativeimages of students and school servants, I analyze the discursive constructions which are being negotiated about women in society and, specially, in technical education. Despite the great variety of narrativeimages, many interacted with dichotomies regarding women s and men s identity as well as the campus, which is commonly viewed as a masculine place. I discuss those discourses in the light of the contributions by Louro (2001) and Foucault about tensions within discourses. I conclude with the analysis of some narratives by women that have been occupying the technical education spaces either as students or as servants at Ifes, resisting and re-existing for a life as a work of art
