About the Bicha do Bem: queering the research ethics in education

Abstract:

This article explores ethical dilemmas emerged from a research about school trajectories of bodies marked with experiences of gender transits in Aracaju, Sergipe. It argues that the emergence of bicha do bem was crucial to the establishment of relationships between the researcher and research subjects. This figure triggers a movement to explore the possibility of queering of education research ethics. It discusses how the ethical regulatory policy slips into a type of normalization. The figure also indicates the existence of a wide field of ethical relations, which cannot simply be previously limited or anticipated.
