Abstract

Abstract: This article has as its objective to map the academic debate about the expression “gender ideology”, emphasizing the power relations that it establishes in society, from a literature review on the matter. Such necessity is expressed by the huge profusion of senses attributed to “gender ideology” in the public arena, mainly in the educational debates. From theoretical-methodological discussion, seventy-four academic materials that themed the subject were selected, read and systematized. Because of the systematization done, it is argued here that the Brazilian studies about “gender ideology” have a broader proximity with educational studies when compared to the other located productions. Moreover, it is also argued in this article that the antigender movement that expresses itself through the diffusion of the expression “gender ideology” has aimed to dispute senses and meanings about the concepts of “gender” and “sexuality” from a construction of a allegedly scientific rhetoric that binds opportunely Biology and Law. Such rhetoric is considered here as one of the many steps responsible for the delegitimation of gender and sexuality studies in the public arena, as well as for the attack against the public school and the teaching liberty.
