Resumo: This work presents an analysis essay developed in a research which investigated the gender relations in numeracy practices of male and female students in Youth and Adult Education (EJA). As an attempt to understand how these relations – based on gender differences – are constituted by numeracy practices and, at the same time, how they constitute such practices, we adopt the gender concept as an analysis category, passing through Foucaultian theorizations related to discourse. Taking into consideration the contributions from Ethnomathematics, we point to the rationality of the Cartesian matrix as the producer of truths about women, men and mathematics. This article describes the utterance “Man is better in math than woman”, which was identified as a discourse maker of male superiority in mathematics.

Na tentativa de compreender como essas relações, pautadas nas diferenças de gênero, constituem-se nas práticas de numeramento e constituem tais práticas, adotamos o conceito de gênero como uma categoria de análise, transitando pelas teorizações foucaultianas relativas ao discurso. Assumindo contribuições do campo da etnomatemática, problematizamos a racionalidade de matriz cartesiana como produtora de verdades sobre mulheres, homens e matemática. Neste artigo, descrevemos o enunciado “Homem é melhor em matemática do que mulher”, identificado como produtor do discurso da superioridade masculina em matemática.Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina2009-01-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/ref/article/view/S0104-026X200900020001610.1590/S0104-026X2009000200016Revista Estudos Feministas; Vol. 17 No. 2 (2009); 595Revista Estudos Feministas; Vol. 17 Núm. 2 (2009); 595Revista Estudos Feministas; v. 17 n. 2 (2009); 5951806-95840104-026Xreponame:Revista Estudos Feministasinstname:Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)instacron:UFSCporhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/ref/article/view/S0104-026X2009000200016/11355Copyright (c) 2018 Revista Estudos Feministasinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSouza, Maria Celeste Reis Fernandes deFonseca, Maria da Conceição Ferreira2020-01-30T09:58:42Zoai:periodicos.ufsc.br:article/12071Revistahttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/ref/indexPUBhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/ref/oai||ref@cfh.ufsc.br1806-95840104-026Xopendoar:2022-11-21T11:37:48.247211Revista Estudos Feministas - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)true
