Institucionalização e legitimação da temática de género no curso de sociologia da UEM, 2010-2013

Abstract

We study the relationship between the institutionalization of gender issues in the course of sociology at the University Eduardo Mondlane (UEM) and the increase of gender issues in order to course work. This study seeks to analyze and understand the motivational factors that lead students to write about the gender issue in their final course work. We embarked on a theoretical triangulation between the epistemic theory of Thomas Kun and the social construction of reality in Berger and Luckmann, which alowed us to make the reading of the legitimacy of analytical categories that maintain and reproduce the continuity of gender as the dominant paradigm in the works End of course. We conducted a study with a qualitative approach in which the dialectic was the central method and monographic study the strategic research. The target group were the UEM sociology students who wrote about the gender issue in its end of course work. The interpretation of data alowed us to say that the students wrote about the gender issue in their TFC in the interest of gaining recognition and acceptance in the DS (Department of Sociology), as well as defend the feminist cause with which they identify. However perceptions identified result and are supported by the experiences of the respondents in different spaces of which identified the discipline on gender, research on gender and feminist movements who are fighting for gender equality. In these spaces the students internalize the theoretical principles and practices from which they build their subjectivity from which materializes the actions that sustain the interest in gender issues.
