Emoções e desigualdade de gênero em narrativas de professoras durante a pandemia

Abstract

The fusion of time and space dedicated to professional practice and domestic tasks has further burdened women teachers in the Covid-19 pandemic. Given this context, this study assesses how the pandemic teaching experience may have fed back into the patriarchal structure present in gender inequalities in the teaching context. The discussion is made in the light of the understanding of the combined role of language and emotions in the reflective activity of teachers, raised by Narrative Research protocols. For analysis, the procedures of Content Analysis were used. It is indicated how a certain emotion and language are presented in the content of the teachers' narratives, at the same time that they feed back the patriarchal culture, in which the relations of gender inequality are based. The results point to emotions of frustration, self-blame, anxiety and self-deprecation in a growing context of dehumanization circumscribed in self-deprecating and should be conversations that forge the notion of female unproductivity. In this way, the study demonstrates how the patriarchal way of functioning, during the pandemic, deepened the fragilization of the women teachers participating in this study.
