          Abstract

          Resumen: En este artículo, se observan los discursos en torno a la visibilidad homosexual que movilizan docentes gays y lesbianas fuera del clóset dentro de escuelas de Santiago de Chile. Para ello se expondrán los resultados de una investigación cualitativa, realizada a partir de 21 entrevistas en profundidad a docentes que se presentan como gays y lesbianas en escuelas de la capital. Más allá de los discursos de opresión o silenciamiento, en sus narrativas de afirmación y visibilidad se subrayan las estrategias personales para desplazar la eventual discriminación hacia otros elementos identitarios personales y la heterogeneidad de normas en relación con la homosexualidad en las escuelas. Asimismo, se muestra cómo las diferencias de posiciones personales y la forma en la que la clase social moldea el valor de la discreción dentro de la cultura escolar influyen en las posibilidades de agencia personal. Al centrar el análisis en el trabajo individual, se observa cómo la confrontación de la violencia homofóbica en el espacio escolar puede al mismo tiempo reproducirla, en la medida en la que las y los docentes cuentan con un estrecho margen para la reflexionar sobre los efectos de su acción individual y para cuestionar los límites que impone la heteronorma a la agencia personal en un contexto de ambivalente aceptación de la homosexualidad en la sociedad chilena.

          Abstract: This article addresses the discourses of homosexuality visibility that mobilize out of the closet gay and lesbian teachers in schools in Santiago de Chile. To this end, it presents the results of a qualitative research, based on 21 in-depth interviews with teachers who present themselves as gay and lesbian in schools in the capital.Beyond discourses of oppression or silencing, their narratives of affirmation and visibility highlight personal strategies to displace possible discrimination towards other personal identity elements and the heterogeneity of norms regarding homosexuality in schools. It also demonstrates how differences in personal position and the ways in which social class shapes the value of discretion within school culture influence the possibilities for personal agency. By focusing the analysis on individual work, it is shown how confronting homophobic violence in the school space can simultaneously reproduce it, insofar as teachers have a narrow scope to reflect on the effects of their individual actions and to question the limits imposed on personal agency by heteronormativity, in a context of ambivalent acceptance of homosexuality in Chilean society.
