Produção de sentidos sobre diversidade sexual por jovens rurais. 2018. 196f. Dissertação (Mestrado em Psicologia) - Centro de Ciências Humanas, Letras e Artes, Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, Natal, 2018.https://repositorio.ufrn.br/jspui/handle/123456789/25925The school is an institution historically constructed to meet the social demands of where it is inserted and, therefore, both reproduces and produces its historical-social context. In this way, the demand of young students on topics related to gender and sexual diversity that I welcome as a psychologist at the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of the State of Rio Grande do Norte (IFRN), within the State, is growing. especially young people from small municipalities and rural communities. This research aimed to investigate the senses produced by youngsters from rural communities of IFRN-Campus São Paulo do Potengi (SPP) on sexual diversity, as well as to analyze how the ruralities mediate the production of the senses in question, to know how the family and the community interpose in the way rural youth produces meanings about sexual diversity and to identify how the IFRN-SPP permeates this production of meanings. We conducted four discussion groups, with 15- to 29-year-old students, IFRN-SPP students, rural residents, who agreed to participate in the study, with prior authorization. Considering the students' adhesion and the time of bonding with the campus, the material produced by a group was analyzed in depth, based on preliminary categories: sexual diversity, ruralities, family and community, IFRN-SPP, based on perspectives theories about social constructionism, ruralities and sexual diversity. The results point to meanings built on sexual diversity that reveal differences in urban and rural life among young people, emphasizing a predominance of traditional family and community values in rural areas that restrict the possibilities around sexual diversity, making their recognition more challenging in this context. On the other hand, the attachment of young people to the IFRN-SPP has allowed the incorporation of new discursive repertoires, in order to broaden their senses around sexual diversity, with a view to an exercise of otherness promoted by the institution.Acesso AbertoProdução de sentidosDiversidade sexualJuventude ruralmasterThesisCNPQ::CIENCIAS HUMANAS::PSICOLOGIA
