The present thesis aims to analyze, through the (autobiographical) narratives, the discourse of gay teachers of the Bahian Seminar on the production of self as a strange body and the strategies of deconstructing/doing/negotiating gender and sexuality along their school/academic trajectories. The theoretical discussion of this research is based on the theory about the studies of gender, sexuality, homosexuality and queer studies, regarding the concept of strange, from the trajectories of gay teachers, because we understand that they constitute a basilar piece in the experiential and conceptual construction of strangeness. In this sense, the stranger imposed on the one who is gay as an indissoluble identity brand, it makes us realize that issues such as sexual and gender difference, in the XXI century, are imbued with restlessness, constituting themselves as concepts that need to be problematized, bringing debate around issues that have historically been "naturalized" and disseminated as the only way to live out their gender and sexuality bias. This study is based on the epistemological basis of the qualitative research in which the subject and the formative reality are conceived as inseparable. The research basis of this study is anchored in the autobiographical approach, which conceives the narrative as an instrument of data production, since it evidences elements of the subjectivity of the subject, his trajectory of formation and life experiences. The collaborators of the research were six (06) teachers from the Mathematics, Pedagogy and Biology Graduation courses of the State University of Bahia - UNEB, Campus VII in Senhor do Bonfim/BA. The research evidenced that the construction of the stranger in the gay kid body is prior to the discovery and the experience of sexuality and, based on principle, the difference found in the body that disagrees with the norm. It is possible to infer, also, that strange bodies also constitute themselves as discourse and transgress the norm, they demarcate frontiers and self-declare themselves freed from the heteronormative fetters to which they were subjugated. In this context, the narratives indicate that it was necessary to create strategies for coping with heterosexist norms, considering that confrontation has usually constituted the only way to live the different subjectivities of sexualities and gender. From this point of view, it is necessary to think of teacher’s education in such a way as to effectively ensure the problematization of themes related to gender and sexuality issues. We understand, therefore, that in addition to discussing issues related to pedagogical practices, it is necessary that the school curriculum be restructured, in order to think the differences without camouflaging homophobia, racism and all forms of exclusion that perpass these practices.________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
