Description:
Using a question asked by a student in a training course about sexualities, this paper aims to problematize this training process, which together with gender and sexuality constructions provoke us to think the individuals’ constitution processes. In order to do so, the methodology employed was observation and analyses of the authors’ experience in three courses for teachers. The discourse produced in such contexts was brought to the text. Such issues favor the authors’ contact with post-structuralism and Foucault studies, whose focus is on discourses and practices which constitute the subject and on power relations. As the main result, the paper points to the need to count on “detachment of the self” which involves training in investment on questioning rather than on answers and “truths”.
