Cuestionando imaginarios sexistas a través de prácticas pedagógicas transformadoras

Abstract

This article has two complementary objectives: on the one hand, to present the continuities and reproductions of sexist imaginary and gender violence in young people of higher education in Chile; and, on the other, to show a transformative and counterhegemonic proposal elaborated from feminist pedagogies. The theoretical support comes from feminist contributions that have examined the power structures that reproduce and naturalize gender violence. The field work included the application of 1,120 surveys to students from three Chilean universities. The results show the subsistence of myths and imaginary sexists that legitimize these power relations. In response to these findings emerges De-Constrúyete: non-sexist educational didactic-pedagogical material designed to work with young people.
