GENDER IDENTITIES, SEXUALITY AND CITIZENSHIP: A CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF THE COMPREHENSIVE SEX EDUCATION CURRICULUM

We present a research aimed to the description and analysis of the discursive regularities that have shaped the official curriculum of Comprehensive Sex Education (CSE) of the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires (CABA) in its final version of 2009. The work is proposed to account for the way in which sexuality is defined and its links with gender. From various theoretical considerations about the curriculum, identity and gender, it was developed a content analysis in qualitative terms on documents for initial, elementary and secondary educational levels of the CABA. It is highlighted the cultural accents and the scope and restrictions in reference to the discursive formation of student identities, pointing to the CSE curriculum as a pattern of meanings which defines unevenly spaces for citizenship in relation to gender and sexuality.
