Young women and men: enjoyments and interdictions, power and inequality

Abstract

This article discusses the relations of power and inequality that cross the modes of subjectivity of men and young women participating in a research-intervention project in an area in “economical development”. The reference of this work is in the fields of Social Psychology and Post-Structural Feminist and Gender Theories, in a theoretical and methodological perspective of working with groups. We have analyzed two thematic cutouts of workshops on sexuality and sociability/work-leisure.The senses of sexuality gained strong gender connotations, especially the use of moral qualification "naughtiness" when the sexual dynamics of women breaks with the behavior of moderation.These inequalities also crossed way about work-leisure, in which men are positioned as those who deserve to enjoy free time. Despite the apparent rigidity, other senses linked to gender dynamics were built by the group, which made it possible to produce more critical and subversive positions.
