SUMMARY:

The present work is an experiential narrative research with a qualitative approach and exploratory orientation carried out in the methodological format of a multicase study.  It sought to investigate how students of an undergraduate course of Arts in Letters who identify themselves with the LGBTIQ+ universe (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, queer and nonheteronormative community), mobilize, negotiate, construct and live their identities in that context. The theoretical framework of this research was composed by the identity concept from Norton and Toohey (2011), from Queer Theory, stereotypes’ concept from Lippmann (2010), bullying as defined by Warwick, Chase e Aggleton (2004) and homofobia as proposed by Borrillo (2010). Data generation was done through audio recordings of three semi-structured interviews and a narrative with three participants, provided over ten months. From the transcript of the first interview, excerpts that reveal the participants' opinions about their gender identity and sexual orientation were extracted. These excerpts were then incorporated into the analysis chapter and discussed in the light of the theorization embraced. The same treatment was given to the second interview to present and discuss the mobilization, negotiation and identity construction of the participants in the context of the undergraduate course of Letters at CEFET-MG. From the transcript of the third interview, the students' reports regarding the didactic material used and the speech of the teachers of the disciplines: Workshops on Reading and Text Production in Foreign Languages I, II, III and IV, taught in the 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th course periods respectively. Finally, from the oral narrative, all experiences of violence suffered by the participants were identified, quantified and discussed. As a result, we found that participants perceive gender as a social construct, determined based on biological sex. They feel that sexuality and gender are taboo subjects in our society. They see religions as instances that compete to perpetuate the hegemonic heteronormative pattern and, therefore, make it difficult or prevent people from mobilizing their gender identities and sexualities. We also found that the participants experienced prejudice, bullying and stereotyping in the school context and outside it. The violence suffered left sequelae such as depression, fear of dealing with strangers, discomfort, insecurity and sadness. We found that the school, in general, has an important role in fighting against gender violence and in promoting social justice.
