Abstract
This article aims to discuss the meanings (re)produced in contemporary youth books about male homosexual experience in school space. We use the Jorge Larrosa’s notion of experience. The corpus of analysis consists in three books of youth LGBTI literature. For the analysis, we use the principles of exteriority, reflexivity and subjectivity according to Larrosa. It’s possible to observe that the school institutions play an important role in terms of the subjectivation of the characters if they show a (re)producing instance of norms; it is represented as a place that legitimizes homophobic discourses, but also as a place of fight and raise of differences, an institution that challenges the way in which characters attribute meaning to the homosexual experience.
