Resumo: This study analyzes the construction of the gender identity among adolescent girls, based on their performative dimension. The ethnographic research was carried out in a public school of Middle School, in Salvador, Brazil. The discursive construction of differences, similarities and inequalities between categories of girl is one of the ways in which gender is being (re)constructed and negotiated in everyday interactions. From the background the moral regulation exercised by the peers, it is exposed how each subject positions assimilates, contests and resignifies behaviors and characteristics socially agreed as feminine and masculine. In a continuum of conformities and subversions, “normal”, “forward” and “evolved” exhibit traces of cultural permanence and change, evidencing the markedly contradictory heterogeneity of the constitution of generalized identities.

A pesquisa etnográfica foi realizada em uma escola pública de Ensino Fundamental II, em Salvador. A produção discursiva de diferenças, semelhanças e desigualdades entre categorias de menina é um dos modos pelos quais o gênero vai sendo (re)construído e negociado nas interações cotidianas. Tendo como pano de fundo a regulação moral exercida pelos pares, expõe-se como cada posição de sujeito assimila, contesta e ressignifica comportamentos e características socialmente convencionados como femininos e masculinos. Em um continuum de conformidades e subversões, “normais”, “atiradas” e “evoluídas” exibem traços de permanências e mudanças culturais, evidenciando a heterogeneidade marcadamente contraditória da constituição de identidades generificadas.Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina2020-12-18info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/ref/article/view/6067810.1590/1806-9584-2020v28n60678Revista Estudos Feministas; Vol. 28 No. 3 (2020)Revista Estudos Feministas; Vol. 28 Núm. 3 (2020)Revista Estudos Feministas; v. 28 n. 3 (2020)1806-95840104-026Xreponame:Revista Estudos Feministasinstname:Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)instacron:UFSCporenghttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/ref/article/view/60678/44921https://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/ref/article/view/60678/44922Copyright (c) 2020 Revista Estudos Feministashttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessGuimarães, JamileCabral, Cristiane da Silva2020-12-18T20:43:55Zoai:periodicos.ufsc.br:article/60678Revistahttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/ref/indexPUBhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/ref/oai||ref@cfh.ufsc.br1806-95840104-026Xopendoar:2022-11-21T11:38:47.665192Revista Estudos Feministas - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)true
