Abstract

The family has, in recent decades, undergone significant changes, which has entailed the formation of new family configurations. We tried to investigate what the senses and meanings are produced by the actors of schools in relation to homoparental family. We had free interviews with sixteen representatives of various segments of a public school of Recife-PE. An analysis was performed from three areas of significance, namely: 1) consanguinity or care?; 2) The family structure is father, mother and child in the normal context ; 3) new family configurations: this has nothing to do with school. In general, we identified that the concept of family is tied to the nuclear family configuration and that homoparenthood is not, in most cases, either thought as family or discussed in the educational settings.

 

Keywords: homoparenthood; family; senses; meanings; school.
