Discourse over the gender and disposition towards the difference. Exploratory study on university students in México City

Abstract

This work presents an análisis of the discourse over real and ideal stereotypes created by young students of the D. F. related to gender. The investigation is placed among a bigger study regarding the analysis of the inter cultural competences in these subjects. Starting on the realization of life stories and argumental groups, the presence of gender stereotypes will be analysed among young people discourse in order to appoint how far those stereotypes help or impede the disposition towards the difference. This will help us to reach a gender concept as internal boundary, this is, as a negotiation space and/or conflict of the realition between genders, which can be understood as inter cultural relations. The results are tentative and are based in the application of four life stories and two groups of discussion. Generalization is not intended, rather to open reflexive currents and subsequent analysis.
