Gênero e transgeracionalidade: uma (des)constru¸ ão

Abstract

This study analyzed the transgenerational transmission and maintenance of gender perspectives with use of semistructured interviews with 10 young adults aged between 20 and 27 years. The new generations were found to re-signify issues transmitted by their families aiming for a fair society, although the perceived changes in family dynamics are not enough to reflect on the deconstruction of historical and cultural paradigms. Although these individuals have a critical social stance and seek to deconstruct stereotypical and prejudiced gender values, their discourses showed that political, economic and social inequalities still profoundly affect women. One of the main reasons that led to this transgenerational deconstruction was the access to information and the powerful insertion in groups that motivate militancy, although few of the interviewees overcome the internet barriers in their actions.
