Relações de gênero: conflitos visibilizados nas paredes da Universidade

Abstract

In this article we analyze the conflicts involving gender issues among university students triggered by graphic interventions performed on the premises of a higher education institution. Photographic images of these interventions were analyzed from Bakhtin's dialogical perspective, which focused on the tensions and violence that highlight characteristics of gender relations in that context. The study made it possible to understand how the physical space is converted, with the interventions of the students and the responses of the institutional authorities, into a dialogical space for the expression of the agreements, disputes and affections that build the arena of social voices of the public university. Being, at the same time, a space that constitutes subjectivities, it is configured as an important locus for investigations that focus on the complex relationships between subject and society and between subjects constituted in intersecting differences of gender, class, race, ethnicity and  many others.
