          Abstract

          Resumen Este artículo tiene por objetivo identificar los discursos científicos, educativos y mediáticos - presentes en un corpus de textos de la época – entre cuyos ejes se encuentra la normalidad sexual y, de esta forma, analizar algunos de los principales procesos históricos que conformaron la noción de la heterosexualidad en Costa Rica entre las décadas de 1930-1950. Mediante una revisión de manuales, investigaciones y artículos periodísticos, se establece que la construcción de la normalidad sexual estuvo influenciada por los saberes sexológicos, psicoanalíticos e higienistas, y se caracterizó por su carácter inestable, precario y contradictorio. Asimismo, dicho proceso de construcción produjo la conformación de sus amenazas. Se concluye que la normalidad, además de su carácter disciplinario, también tuvo un papel importante en la conformación de subjetividades, al entrar paulatinamente en el imaginario de la cultura popular.
