Manifestações da sexualidade na infância: contribuições da psicanálise freudiana

Abstract

The construction of this academic production refers to a Completion Work of the Pedagogy Course at the Federal University of Amazonas. The theme of the study addresses the manifestations of childhood sexuality and how Freudian psychoanalysis can help in understanding these issues, since its contributions have expanded the concepts and have gradually transformed the cultural context of performance of early childhood education. The objective of this work was to understand how Freudian psychoanalysis can help in sexual education processes in schools, using a literature review of articles published from 2018 to 2022 as a research strategy. search in the databases of Scielo, Educ@, Portal de Periódicos Capes and Google Scholar, in which only empirical and theoretical articles published in the national territory were sought. Through the analysis of this material, it was possible to weave approximations of how the phases of the child's psychosexual development occur and the characteristics associated with each phase. Education professionals can find different situations within early childhood education related to the child's sexuality, but many do not understand that children can present certain behaviors considered normal in their development, which, however, can often be seen as something atypical. Finally, from these conceptions associated with transference and development described by psychoanalytic knowledge, we can reap a differentiated pedagogy, in which it is made explicit that it is up to us, educators, to absorb Freud's work and be inspired by the day-to-day experience of the teacher for educational practices that consider sexuality in the constitution of students' subjectivity.
