Agency and intersectionality in court: concerns about schools and differences in Mato Grosso do Sul

Abstract

The concerns presented here were raised from two researches in different contexts and temporalities that cross the trajectory of the authors in Mato Grosso do Sul. The first occurred as a result of the dialogues carried out by one of the authors with effeminate young people (gays, transvestites), transsexuals) in the city of Corumbá-MS, on the border with Bolivia. The second was the result of the dialogue between two of the authors with young Kaiowá indigenous people from the Indigenous Land (TI) of Panambizinho, located approximately 20km from Dourados-MS, in the Panambi district. Through an interdisciplinary, sustained perspective in a qualitative analysis, we intend to reflect on the dilemmas and possibilities that surround the relationship between minorities and the school in contemporary times from an intersectional point of view. As a result, the understanding that if the school continues at various times to produce itself as a space for the docilization of bodies and subjectivities, on the other, the constant capacity for negotiation and agency of the subjects who enmesh it.
