Análisis ocupacional y de género en la infancia: Aplicación de los mapas corporales narrados desde un grupo de discusión

Abstract

This research aims to explore the perceptions of Primary Education students of a public school in A Coruña (Galicia, Spain), regarding their collective imaginary of occupations, gender expression and hegemonic stereotypes. A secondary study is proposed, using a previous socio-educational experience based on body-mapping storytelling, in which a group of girls and boys had co-created the stories of two fictional characters, Verónica and Antón, when they returned to school after summer. A discussion group was held, in which the already created body maps were used, for a secondary data generation. Seven girls and boys, authors of the body maps, participated. A thematic analysis of the discussion group transcript was performed. Data analysis is being carried out at this point, preliminary results are presented. Body-maps as catalysts for data generation seem to facilitate identifying the tensions between the equality discourses, clearly expressed by children, and the discrepancies in daily activities or occupations (games, clothing, roles, etc.) in childhood, gender expression and hegemonic stereotypes.
