Pequeñas inflexiones: Construir un discurso artístico sobre violencia de género en educación secundaria
2022
El proyecto que se describe trata sobre violencia de género y desarrolló una educación crítica en alumnos adolescentes a través de la acción artística. El proyecto tomó como base el concepto de adiaphoron de Bauman y Donskis (2013), entendido este como la pasividad del sujeto frente al sufrimiento de los demás. Los resultados del proyecto son conceptualizados empleando un modelo de investigación “dentro del arte” (Frayling, 1993) y teniendo en cuenta la sociología de la violencia de género. En este análisis se comprueba que los alumnos, a pesar de su juventud, desarrollaron una visión madura de la problemática, posibilitando una toma de conciencia –tanto en ellos como en el público– de la r…
Arte disidente y mensajes publicitarios / Dissident Art and Advertising Messages
2020
La Publicidad no solo es una practica economica que mueve millones debeneficios, capaz de fagocitar la iconografia de la historia del arte para sus intereses mercantiles; tambien es una practica semiotica e ideologica que vende determinados modelos y valores y es un aparato que, en muchas ocasiones, se basa en estereotipos sexistas y relaciones desiguales de poder entre los generos. De ahi la enorme importancia de la labor de deconstruccion llevada a cabo por artistas contemporaneas, cuyas obras suponen una lectura disidente y critica de dichosmensajes mediales o un artivismo que promueve otros paradigmas de feminidad. Estas artistas realizan una revision de diferentes soportes publicitario…
Sobre la necesidad de estudiar la masculinidad(es) en tiempos de incertidumbre / On the Need to Study Masculinity(s) in Times of Uncertainty
2019
La masculinidad como concepto analítico parece estar de moda. Proliferan reflexiones en los medios, se publican libros, se organizan actividades e incluso jornadas y congresos, etc. Todo ello parece consecuencia y al mismo tiempo funcionan como elementos intensificadores del interés despertado entre diferentes ámbitos de lo social (y lo mediático) por conocer qué pasa con los hombres en estos momentos de incertidumbre social generalizada. Además, estos tiempos actuales cabe concebirlos, y más si hablamos de la identidad masculina como identidad de género, desde la eclosión y visibilización de las reivindicaciones feministas de la ya denominada «cuarta ola» que se están dando a escala global…
What the hell are you doing? A PRISMA systematic review of psychosocial precursors of slut-shaming in adolescents and young adults
2023
Slut-shaming is a form of discrimination against those who violate gender stereotypes, independent of that person's gender identity or sexual orientation or sexual behaviour and appearance. Slut-shaming is a sexual stigmatisation perpetrated both by women and men through rumours, criticism and ostracism and it has severe negative effects both on self-identity and interpersonal relations. This review focuses on psychosocial factors associated with vulnerability to slut-shaming exposure and was carried out using the new Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) protocol. Articles were retrieved from Scopus and Web of Science databases. After having initially …
The Prevalence of BDSM in Finland and the Association between BDSM Interest and Personality Traits
2022
According to previous research, interest in BDSM (Bondage-Discipline, Dominance-Submission and Sadomasochism) activities is high in several European countries and various BDSM practices are not uncommon. There is a limited amount of research on the personalities of BDSM practitioners, but in previous research practitioners have been found to have better overall well-being and to be more educated than the general population. The current study explored the prevalence of BDSM interest and practice in a Finnish sample (n = 8,137, age range 18–60, M = 30.14, SD = 8.08) and investigated the association between BDSM interest and personality measured with the six-factor personality measure HEXACO. …
Support for Prostitution Legalization in Romania: Individual, Household, and Socio-cultural Determinants.
2021
Romania is a major source country of labor migration to other EU countries, being commonly perceived as a source country for sex workers operating in more prosperous economies. However, very little is known about population attitudes in relation to prostitution in Romania. Based on nationally representative data from the Romanian Gender Barometer (2018) survey, we analyzed data on 860 individuals to examine the predictors of policy preferences for legalizing prostitution. We considered individual-level socio-demographics and household-level indicators such as the presence of children and migrants, as well as socio-cultural beliefs and behaviors related to social liberalism and religiosity. …
Gitanas without a tambourine: Notes on the historical representation and personal self-representation of the Spanish Romani woman.
2020
The performative representation of the Spanish Roma woman reveals a historical journey that brings her closer to many symbolic elaborations of the feminine, giving her a special affinity with the imaginary concerning the colonized woman, particularly with the Orientalist vision. Developed initially by the travelling intellectuals in Spain who sought a fusion of the topics of sexualized exoticism, the myth was reworked by local artists and thinkers without undermining their power to silence and make invisible the reality of the most vulnerable and most represented members of the ethnic group, their women. Today, a growing awareness of the importance of collective action directs Roma women t…
