ABSTRACT
This paper presents a research that investigated the production of ethical violence and the recognition of sexualities in school contexts. We understand that Judith Butler's radicalization of the theory of recognition has provided important insights on the links between politics and morals. One of the facets of ethical violence is characterized by the obliteration of self-reporting, the silencing of lesbians, gays, bisexuals, transgenders, intersexes, and more (LGBTI+) struggles and sufferings. For our analysis, focus groups and a narrative interview with teachers of basic education of public schools were promoted. The research is the result of the work of a group of researchers who, in the last 4 years, in a master's degree course, have been involved with the theme of sexualities in school contexts. Our analyzes point to both the production of unbearable lives and the constitution of resistances that seek the possibility of livable lives, but in an environment marked by discourses contrary to sexualities.
