CINEMA E QUEER’ERES NA DIVERSIDADE EM PARANAÍBA, MATO GROSSO DO SUL (MS)

Abstract

This article aims to report the experience of an Extension Project aimed at tackling the silencing of gender issues and LGBTQIAPN+ sexualities in the university context of Paranaíba (MS). To this end, the methodological path chosen for this study was based on queer studies activities, films that favored listening and recording the participants' dialogues. The analysis is based on Queer Theory references that guided the discussions and supported the preparation of this text. The results show that the initiative contributed to facing challenges related to sexual and gender diversity in the university context, in addition to stimulating critical reflections that favor the expansion of the debate on this topic in the academic space and in the society of Paranaíba (MS).
