Resumen
Este trabajo analiza el potencial didáctico de los itinerarios afectivo-normativos comparados como recurso metodológico para abordar la diversidad LGTBIQ+ en la enseñanza universitaria de la geografía regional. La propuesta se sitúa en los debates contemporáneos que entienden la región como un marco analítico flexible para el análisis comparado de realidades territoriales. Asimismo, dialoga con aportaciones de la geografía crítica, las geografías queer y las pedagogías críticas, incorporando de forma sistemática dimensiones normativas, experienciales y afectivas en el análisis territorial.
La propuesta se desarrolló en una asignatura universitaria de geografía regional durante dos cursos académicos consecutivos. El diseño metodológico se basó en la comparación de países integrados en distintos marcos regionales mediante el uso combinado de fuentes institucionales, normativas y narrativas. El trabajo incluyó el análisis de legislaciones, indicadores estadísticos y materiales mediáticos y testimoniales, así como la elaboración de matrices comparativas e instrumentos de síntesis analítica.
Los resultados muestran que el alumnado fue capaz de identificar contrastes significativos entre países pertenecientes a un mismo marco regional en relación con los derechos, la visibilidad y las condiciones de vida del colectivo LGTBIQ+. El uso combinado de fuentes permitió poner de relieve desajustes entre reconocimiento legal y experiencias sociales, así como dinámicas de exclusión, ambivalencia o resistencia que no resultan evidentes en los análisis basados únicamente en indicadores estructurales. La propuesta pone de manifiesto la utilidad de los itinerarios afectivo-normativos como recurso pedagógico para introducir lecturas territoriales situadas y atentas a las normatividades sexuales y de género en la enseñanza de la geografía regional.
