TITLE:

"It's about removing our existence from invisibility": the course Feminist Theories and Lesbianities as an illuminating tool for lesbian visibility

KEY WORDS:

Lesbian thought; Lesbianism; Lesbians; Screen ethnography

BIG AREA: Outra
AREA: Multidisciplinar
SUMMARY:

This work aims to understand how lesbian thought enters academia, based on the hypotheses that the entry of lesbians into universities, the existence of publications on lesbianities in journals, and the promotion of extension courses significantly contribute to glimpsing a lesbian epistemology. Therefore, this research aims to investigate this third way of entering lesbian thought, analyzing through which epistemes it has been theorized. The trajectories of Latin American social movements had a strong influence on the political organization of lesbians in Brazil, resulting in the construction of exclusive groups. These groups survived dictatorial times and global health crises, yet remained alive and resistant. It is from this historical construction that productions began to enter academia as knowledge, still marginalized. Thinking about a dynamic and autonomous relationship between social movement and academia and understanding lesbian thought as a political-cultural movement centered on lesbianism, this research uses screen ethnography as a methodological resource to construct field data that underlie the theoretical trajectory of the work. The course Feminist Theories and Lesbianities, offered in the Supplementary Academic Semester of the Federal University of Bahia in virtual format, on the Moodle platform, was the chosen field for observation and analysis of Online Discussion Forums, categorizing the course into three dimensions: political, pedagogical, and affective. In the field, the importance of the entry of lesbian thought into universities was found and how access to these authors and constructions has a subjective impact on the students, collaborating in their research, their work, their practices, and activism, as well as weaving support networks among them.
