Construcción de identidad femenina en jóvenes universitarias del programa de cultura física, deporte y recreación de la universidad Santo Tomás de Bogotá

Abstract

This research seeks to understand how female identity is constructed in young university students recognizing the meanings of femininity present in their relationship environments. For this, femininity is taken up again as a concept, studied from psychology and other disciplines that complement it. This phenomenon is analyzed from the meanings constructed by individuals in their relationships and actions in them, understood under the gaze of the critical social paradigm. There are 3 young university women from Physical Culture, Sport and Recreation, adults, with whom in-depth interviews are conducted individually in 3 meetings and a group closing, that revolves around a photographic record made by them, throughout the application. It is observed from a content analysis that their meanings about femininity are permeated by the contexts of both upbringing and educational and social within which they perform, which being united constantly nourish their feminine identity, moving between tradition and the socio-cultural changes of the moment. With regard to the process within the research, it can be concluded that there were modifications on some of their perceptions, they were complemented with those of their peers and an impact was achieved on the perception of themselves.
