Representaciones sociales de violencia basada en género y la incidencia de patrones culturales en mujeres adultas del Municipio de Restrepo, Meta

Abstract

This research project is based on a qualitative approach and is framed within the research of social psychology, taking as a reference the sociocultural theory of Lev Vygotsky. The main objective is to analyze the social representations of gender-based violence and the incidence of cultural patterns in adult women in the municipality of Restrepo, Meta. For the development of the project and fulfillment of the objective, the interpretative paradigm and the phenomenological epistemology are approached, which allow understanding the studied phenomenon from the subjective experiences of the participant together with the position she takes in front of it, the life history is implemented as a technique and body mapping as an instrument of application. Likewise, the research is carried out with a participant and the inclusion criteria established are that she is between 35 and 50 years of age and that she has lived most of her life in the municipality; in addition, the participant must have work or academic experience related to gender issues. In accordance with the above, the project takes as a reference fragments of the participant's discourse, which are presented in an organized and systematized manner in the tables classified by the study categories. The analysis of these results is obtained from the instruments that are applied with the participant in a space of dialogue and reflection, which facilitates to evidence from the theoretical argumentation that the cultural patterns present in the municipality are related to the problem and that in turn influence the construction of the social representations of the women of this sector, This is a reason to recognize that gender-based violence is normalized intergenerationally, where the different contexts of women in Restrepenses such as the workplace, home, school, university and comfort zones limit their functions and complement the idea that women are weak. Likewise, it is understood that the patterns promote cultural imaginaries that make reference to those thoughts constructed by customs, idealizations, roles and hierarchies.
