Silencio, cuerpo y baile propone una mirada sobre los signos utilizados en el baile flamenco, observación que apela a la reflexión. ¿Qué es el silencio? Cómo opera en el cuerpo y cómo el flamenco lo necesita para crear. Aquí se advierte una tensión entre significado y significante, característica que determina el estilo y define el código.Entender el silencio y su uso en el flamenco es traducir el signo, entablar el diálogo entre cante y baile para que ese espacio llamado silencio exista, determinado a la vez qué es flamenco y qué no lo es. Entonces, el silencio se vuelve legible y construye un signo que le da identidad al propio baile.Podríamos inferir que por oposición al sonido -asociado a lo masculino-, el silencio también está asociado a lo femenino, por lo cual nuestro significante comporta un género. Lo femenino y masculino en la danza lo establecen el tipo de movimiento, lineal, recto o curvo y sinuoso, pero aquí el sonido de los pies se establece como mundo habitado por hombres mientras el movimiento de brazos les pertenece a las mujeres. Aunque esta ruptura pareciera ser más una construcción del propio signo creado para el baile, que una cuestión del género de la propia danza. Silence, body and dance offers a look at the signs used in flamenco dancing, an observation that appeals to reflection. What is silence? How it operates in the body and how flamenco needs it to create. Here there is a tension between meaning and signifier, a characteristic that determines the style and defines the codeUnderstanding silence and its use in flamenco is translating the sign, engaging the dialogue between singing and dancing so that this space called silence exists, determined at the same time what is flamenco and what is not. Then, the silence becomes readable and builds a sign that gives identity to the dance itself.We could infer that in opposition to sound -associated with the masculine-, silence is also associated with the feminine, for which our signifier implies a genre. The feminine and masculine in dance is established by the type of movement, linear, straight or curved and sinuous, but here the sound of the feet is established as a world inhabited by men while the movement of arms belongs to women. Although this rupture seems to be more a construction of the own sign created for the dance, than a question of the genre of the dance itself.

RESUMOObjetivo: conhecer os sentimentos vivenciados pelas mulheres após a descoberta do câncer. Método: estudo qualitativo, descritivo e exploratório, respaldado na História Oral Temática. Realizaram-se entrevistas semiestruturadas com mulheres com câncer e o material empírico foi analisado pela análise temática e apresentado por eixos temáticos. Resultados: emergiram três eixos temáticos: 1) Entre tristeza e coragem: sentimentos de mulheres frente ao diagnóstico de câncer; 2) Reconhecendo o corpo após o diagnóstico do câncer; 3) Dificuldades enfrentadas por mulheres com câncer: superando desafios. Conclusão: as mulheres apresentaram sentimentos de tristeza, isolamento, de resiliência e ressignificação diante da vida. A maioria obteve modificações no corpo em virtude da doença impactando, de forma negativa, a feminilidade. Dentre as dificuldades enfrentadas, além do preconceito, elas sofreram com a exclusão e abandono após o diagnóstico. Percebeu-se a necessidade de pesquisas que busquem compreender o universo feminino perante a luta do câncer considerando que a compreensão e o enfrentamento da doença são influenciados pelo gênero. Descritores: Saúde da Mulher; Neoplasias; Feminilidade; Emoções; Luto; Espiritualidade. ABSTRACT Objective: to know the feelings experienced by women after the discovery of cancer. Method: qualitative, descriptive and exploratory study, supported in Oral Thematic History. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with women with cancer and the empirical material was analyzed by the thematic analysis and presented by thematic axes. Results: three thematic axes emerged: 1) Between sadness and courage: feelings of women facing the diagnosis of cancer; 2) Recognizing the body after cancer diagnosis; 3) Difficulties faced by women with cancer: overcoming challenges. Conclusion: women presented feelings of sadness, isolation, resilience and resignification before life. Most have undergone changes in the body because of the disease, negatively impacting femininity. Among the difficulties faced, in addition to prejudice, they suffered with exclusion and abandonment after diagnosis. It was noticed the need for research that seeks to understand the feminine universe in the fight of cancer considering that the understanding and the confrontation of the disease are influenced by the gender.

En el siguiente texto comprenderemos el lesbianismo más allá de la práctica sexual que implica para entender su apuesta de transformación radical de la realidad de las mujeres. Se presentarán algunas reflexiones en torno al por qué resulta necesario lesbianizar el trabajo psicosocial y comunitario, entre las cuales destaca la necesidad de liberar de las opresiones más naturalizadas que viven las mujeres en la heterosexualidad, la familia y sus vínculos íntimos; que siendo propios de una cultura patriarcal y misógina, producen deseos impropiosen las mujeres. Una vez analizado esto, ofreceremos pistas de cómo lesbianizar el trabajo, lo cual implica por lo menos recuperar el cuerpo, promover la comunidad de mujeres y trabajar desde una ética lesbiana que invite a crear y rediseñar la psicología. In the following text we will understand lesbianism as more than the sexual practice that it implies and as such understand its commitment to the radical transformation of the reality of women. We will present some reflections about why it is necessary to lesbianize the psychosocial and communitarian work of psychologists. Part of this work is the need to liberate the most naturalized oppressions that women experience within heterosexuality, the family and their intimate relations being themselves a patriarchal and misogynist culture that leads women to cultivate desires which are not their own. Once this has been analyzed, we will offer some ideas of how to lesbianize psychosocial and communitarian work, including recuperating the body, promoting communities of women and working with a lesbian ethic that invites us to create and redesign psychology.

The Impact

The aim of this article is to highlight the attention given by recent makeover shows, and specifically How to Look Good Naked, to the ‘underneath’ as a way of (re)organising the female body. I examine whether this ‘turn’ or change in media’s direction is an appreciation of the real female body (an unmodified body) or whether this is a mere (re-)organisation of the body into a controllable base of overall appearance and a further embedding of Western conceptions of beauty and of the notion that the manipulation of appearance is essential to the construction of the feminine identity and to the measure of women’s social worth. Informed by postfeminist discourse and critique, I analyse the British reality makeover television show How to Look Good Naked, discuss the extent to which it actually provides an alternative to prevailing cultural discourses around feminine beauty and scrutinise the impact that it seems to have on the identities of the women who participate. I analyse how the show, as the ultimate postfeminist show, inscribes gendered identities and practices, and I examine how postfeminism has created spaces for such shows to exist and affirm hegemonic gender constructions based on consumption practices.

Cosmetic surgery emerged at the end of the 19th century in the U.S. and Europe. Like most branches of surgery, it is a ‘masculine’ medical specialty, both numerically and in terms of professional ‘ethos’. Given the role cosmetic surgery – and, more generally, the feminine beauty system – play in the disciplining and inferiorization of women's bodies, a feminist cosmetic surgeon would seem to be a contradiction in terms. It is hard to imagine how cosmetic surgery might be practiced in a way which is not, by definition, disempowering or demeaning to women. In this paper, I explore the unlikely combination of feminist cosmetic surgeon, using one of the pioneers of cosmetic surgery, Dr. Suzanne Noël, as an example. She was the first and most famous woman to practice cosmetic surgery, working in France at the beginning of this century. She was also an active feminist. Based on an analysis of the handbook she wrote in 1926, La Chirurgie Esthétique, Son Rôle Social in which she describes her views about her profession, her techniques and procedures, and the results of her operations, I tackle the question of whether Noël's approach might be regarded as a ‘feminine’ or even feminist way of doing cosmetic surgery – in short, an instance of surgery in ‘a different voice’. “The primary requisite for a good surgeon is to be a man – a man of courage.” Edmund Andrews. (1861). The Surgeon. Chicago Medical Examiner “Surgery involves bodies – those of surgeons as well as of patients … What does it mean when the body of the surgeon – the intrusive gazer, the violator, the recipient of sensory assaults – is that of a woman?” Joan Cassell.

This chapter presents translations and interpretations of six women's songs that speak to the power of the feminine voice and the feminine soul. These songs feature feminine shape-shifting relations between birds and women, fish and women, and similar mimetic transformations in history, such as the rubber boom. In this context, the spoken word becomes musicalized, and the body realizes different cosmological capacities. The chapter shows that the aesthetic features of these songs resonate with the mythological and metaphysical qualities of the Iluku bird, discussed in Chapter 3. These women's songs are also a form of shamanic practice in which the singer experiences her body as a special locus of subjectivity as defined by relations with birds and other alters. When women sing, they report feeling the power (ushay) “in their flesh” (paygunác aychay) of the birds or animals about which they sing.

Resumen. Desde la Sociología del Trabajo, la Antropología, la Sociología de Género, la Sociología de la Educación, se viene denunciando los procesos de segregación laboral a los que están sometidas las mujeres: horizontal y vertical. Desde la década de los ochenta del siglo XX, las aulas universitarias españolas están feminizadas. Proporcionalmente, las alumnas son mayoría entre los egresados, pero siguen teniendo más dificultades que sus compañeros para encontrar un trabajo, salir de la precariedad laboral, recibir el mismo salario por el mismo trabajo, tener las mismas oportunidades de promoción, etc. Y nos preguntamos si una institución como la Universidad, formalmente igualitaria, sede de la ciencia, la objetividad, la racionalidad, mantiene mecanismos de cierre y exclusión social que dificultan el acceso de las mujeres a la docencia universitaria, y de las profesoras a la promoción, especialmente la promoción al cuerpo de catedráticos de universidad, produciendo y reproduciendo lo que conocemos como techos de cristal. Se comprueba, a la luz de los datos, que las profesoras universitarias se concentran en determinadas Ramas de Conocimiento (segregación horizontal) y en determinadas categorías docentes (segregación vertical). El acceso y la promoción en la Universidad se asientan en la meritocracia, de ahí, su imagen de objetividad, neutralidad, igualdad de oportunidades. Es difícil entender y hacer entender que la propia cultura universitaria tiene sesgos, códigos de género, que aplican mecanismos de discriminación hacia las docentes. Es importante conocer las situaciones concretas que se viven dentro de las universidades. Y esto es lo que nos hemos propuesto para la Universidad de León (ULE).Adoptando la perspectiva de género y realizando un análisis de datos secundarios, comprobamos la segregación horizontal y vertical a la que están sometidas las docentes. Asimismo, descubrimos la existencia del techo de cristal: la proporción de catedráticas en la ULE es inferior a la media nacional.Palabras clave: género, enseñanza superior, discriminación, igualdad de oportunidades, universidad.Abstract. From the Sociology of Labor, Anthropology, Gender Sociology, and Sociology of Education, the processes of labor segregation to which women are subjected (horizontal and vertical) are being denounced. Since the eighties of the 20th century, Spanish university classrooms have been feminized. Proportionally, female students are the majority of the graduates, but they still have more difficulties than their peers to find a job, get out of job insecurity, receive the same salary for the same job, have the same opportunities for promotion, etc. In addition, we ask ourselves if an institution such as the university, formally egalitarian, seat of science, objectivity, rationality, maintains mechanisms of closure and social exclusion that hinder women’s access to university teaching, and female professors to promotion, especially the promotion to the body of university full professors, producing and reproducing what we know as glass ceilings. In the light of the data, it is verified that female university professors concentrate on certain branches of knowledge (horizontal segregation) and on certain categories of professors (vertical segregation).Access and promotion in the University are based on meritocracy, hence its image of objectivity, neutrality, equal opportunities. It is difficult to understand and make understand that the university culture itself has biases, gender codes, which apply mechanisms of discrimination towards female professors. It is important to know the concrete situations that are lived within the universities. Moreover, this is what we have proposed for the University of León (ULE).By adopting a gender perspective and analyzing secondary data, we verify the horizontal and vertical segregation to which the female professors are subjected. Likewise, we discovered the existence of the glass ceiling: the proportion of female professors in the ULE is lower than the national average.Keywords: gender, higher education, discrimination, equal opportunities, university.

Esse estudo possibilitou perceber que as mulheres, após o diagnóstico de neoplasia maligna da mama, (re)significaram de maneiras diferentes a relação entre o diagnóstico do câncer de mama e a sexualidade, além de apontar ainda que elas necessitam de informações para fortalecer sua autoestima e se colocar como protagonista no processo de adoecimento.Descritores: Neoplasias da Mama, Sexualidade, Enfermagem Oncológica. Breast cancer: (re)signifying female body imageAbstract: The woman's view of her body image is essential in her sexuality, and the breasts play a large role, associating with woman's femininity. The study has as objective to describe the (re)meaning of sexuality for the woman when discovering herself with malignant neoplasm of the breast. It is a qualitative, exploratory and descriptive study, carried out with 15 women in a Center of High Complexity in Oncology (CACON) in Maceió-AL. The results were divided in two themes: The feelings related to (re)signification of the body image and The cure above the (re)signification of the body image before the diagnosis of breast cancer. This study made it possible to perceive that women, after diagnosis of malignant neoplasm of the breast, (re)mean in different ways the relationship between diagnosis and sexuality. He also pointed out that they need information to strengthen their self-esteem and stand as a protagonist.Descriptors: Breast Neoplasms, Sexuality, Oncology Nursing. Cáncer de mama: (re)significando la imagen corporal femeninaResumen: La visión de la mujer sobre su imagen corporal es esencial en su sexualidad y las mamas tienen un gran papel, asociando la feminidad de la mujer.

Este estudio analiza la imagen del cuerpo representado en las portadas de los libros de texto de Educación Física vinculado a un tipo de actividad física, para comprobar si se ajustan a las directrices que marca la legislación actual con respecto a los materiales curriculares. El estudio es de tipo empírico, descriptivo y comparativo entre los libros de texto analizados. La muestra estuvo constituida por 12 portadas de dos editoriales, publicadas bajo la Ley Orgánica 8/2013 para la Mejora de la Calidad Educativa (LOMCE). La técnica de investigación fue el análisis de contenido a través de la herramienta SAIMEF (Sistema de Análisis de Imágenes en Educación Física). Se realizó un análisis descriptivo de los datos donde se utilizaron tablas de contingencia y se aplicó la prueba Chi-cuadrado de Pearson (x2), para contrastar la significatividad de la variable sexo y la variable deporte. Los resultados mostraron portadas fotográficas y en color, siendo los protagonistas de la actividad física los hombres, pertenecientes a la etapa de la niñez, de raza blanca, somatotipo ectomorfo y realizando deporte, en ausencia de discapacidad; vinculando el deporte individual con las mujeres y el colectivo y de adversario con los hombres. Estos resultados están muy alejados de las orientaciones que marca la legislación española con respecto a los materiales curriculares, y concretamente en los libros de texto de Educación Física. No cabe duda de que es necesaria una reflexión sobre los materiales curriculares, pues los contenidos ofrecidos a través de las imágenes, son fuente de asentamiento de valores y potenciación de actitudes, y se ha de trasmitir una sociedad sin discriminación para seguir avanzando hacia la igualdad.Abstract. This study analyzes the image of the body represented on the covers of textbooks of Physical Education linked to a type of physical activity, to check if they conform to the guidelines set by the current legislation regarding curricular materials. The study is empirical, descriptive and comparative among the textbooks analyzed. The sample consisted of 12 covers of two editorials, published under the Organic Law 8/2013 for the Improvement of Educational Quality (LOMCE). The research technique was content analysis through the SAIMEF (System of Analysis of Images in Physical Education) tool. We performed a descriptive analysis of the data where contingency tables were used and the Chi-square Pearson test (x2), was applied, to contrast the significance of the variable sex and the variable sport. The results showed covers with photograph and color image format, being the protagonists of the physical activity the men, pertaining to the childhood, of white race, ectomorphic somatotype and realizing sport, in absence of disability; linking individual sport with women and the collective and adversary with men. These results are very far from the guidelines set by Spanish legislation regarding curricular materials, and specifically in physical education textbooks. There is no doubt that a reflection on the curricular materials is necessary, since the contents offered through the images are a source of values settlement and empowerment of attitudes, and a society without discrimination must be transmitted to continue advancing towards equality.
