Abstract
This article reflects on understandings about gender / sexuality expressed by teachers at a public school in the municipality of Pio XII, Maranhão. It analyses material constructed in 2015 in a field notebook and through conversational circles, which considered pedagogical training on the subject . Theoretical contributions from Judith Butler (2015), Michel Foucault (2004; 2005) and Jacques Derrida (2004; 2015) are used to discuss and problematize understandings about the category gender/sexuality presented during the pedagogical training, in a post- structuralist perspective.
