Attitudes toward gay men and lesbians and their relationship with gender role beliefs in a sample of chilean university students
2012
ABSTRACT. This paper analyzes the relation between gender role beliefs and prejudice toward gay men and lesbians in Chile. Participants were Chilean university students (N = 283). Results indicate that men are more prejudiced than women and religious people are more prejudiced than non-religious people. On the other hand, gender role beliefs mediate sex differences in prejudice. The participants' more traditional gender role beliefs hold more negative attitudes toward gay men and lesbians. Men are more prejudiced than women, particularly in their attitudes toward gay men. In addition, sex differences in attitudes toward lesbians and gay men are mediated by gender role beliefs.
Exploring the social and sexual “reality” of contemporary pornography
1993
What are the social roles assumed by men and women in contemporary sexually explicit movies, and in what contexts are their actions portrayed? Perhaps more important, have the predominant themes of pornography shifted in response to the public scrutiny and criticism popular in the mid‐1980s? In this investigation we addressed these questions using a random sample of 50 pornographic videotapes drawn from an archive of essentially all such materials targeted for heterosexual consumers available in the international marketplace from 1979 to 1988. The findings revealed that some thematic aspects of modern pornographic movies have shifted over time. Significant increases were evident in the freq…
Mobilité, droits et citoyenneté des femmes dans l’Italie médiévale et moderne
2016
In medieval and early modern Italy, women were excluded from political citizenship, but they were able to participate in various forms of belonging to a particular place. Geographical mobility affected the legal status of individuals, not only because of the various ways of distinguishing between citizens and foreigners, but also because the provisions of municipal law might differ from one place to another, especially regarding women’s status and rights, for example regarding property and inheritance. This essay illustrates the principal issues relating to women’s citizenship, and examines the reactions of both women and men to the multitude and variety of local statutory laws.

La mirada feminista ante el espejo publicitario / The Feminist Gaze before the Advertising Mirror
2020
Tal como han reseñado antropólogos, investigadores y teóricos de distintas disciplinas sociales, para que exista y perdure un sistema de sometimiento y dominio de un sexo (el masculino) sobre el otro (el femenino); no sólo puede basarse en la coerción física, es necesario que exista una desigualdad de género basada en el ámbito de lo simbólico. Vivimos en una sociedad occidental donde prima lo que Bourdieu denomina violencia simbólica, inmersos en un «reglamento de género», según las palabras de Judith Butler, que normaliza determinadas imágenes y discursos que objetualizan y discriminan a los sujetos mujeres; lo que contribuye a perpetuar situaciones de violencia material sobre las ciudada…
