ResumenEl objetivo del artículo es analizar el desarrollo de las investigaciones sobre la ejecución penal femenina en el Estado español a lo largo de los últimos treinta años, en el marco de los principales debates e ideas de las «criminologías feministas anglosajonas». Tratar los hitos clave de estos enfoques feministas, las principales dificultades que ha atravesado, las autoras y los autores más relevantes que han liderado este debate intelectual y académico, las interconexiones entre las investigaciones y la acción de los poderes públicos y, finalmente, las temáticas y los enfoques más significativos que se han ido debatiendo desde una perspectiva crítica y no androcéntrica. El estudio de las cárceles de mujeres y de las mujeres encarceladas ha sido, en España, un tema largamente olvidado por la academia, especialmente por la investigación sociológica, que no le ha prestado la atención que merecía hasta recién entrado el siglo xxi. Desde entonces, imbuidas de las ideas y de las reflexiones de las «criminologías feministas anglosajonas», han ido emergiendo distintas investigaciones que las visibilizan y ponen de relieve la importancia de examinar estas instituciones de reclusión a la luz de las nuevas formas de control punitivo hacia las mujeres. Palabras clave: criminología; mujeres; cárceles; España; feminismo; investigación Abstract. Feminist Criminologies, Research and Women's Prisons in SpainThe aim of this article is analyse the development of Spanish research on female offending and incarceration over the last thirty years in the framework of the main debates and ideas of the English feminist criminologies. From a critical, non-androcentric perspective, this article examines the key milestones of these feminist approaches, the main difficulties they have encountered, the most relevant authors that have led this intellectual and academic debate, the interconnections between research and public policies and, finally, the most significant approaches and topics that have been discussed. The study of women's prisons and women prisoners has been overlooked by academia in Spain, especially in sociological research that paid little attention to the topic until the beginning of the 21st century. Since then, imbued with the ideas of the English feminist criminologies, investigations have emerged that make them visible and evidence the importance of examining these imprisonment institutions in the light of new forms of punitive control towards women.
The ICT sector is becoming a strategic and growing sector in our current societies and economies. However, gender inequalities persist and women's representation in ICT is still low in Catalonia and Spain. In this article, we introduce the situation of women working in ICT and seek to identify the main barriers and opportunities for their progress. We implemented a survey that was answered by 325 women working in ICT in Catalonia. Our results show that women in ICT do not always access ICT jobs from an engineering degree, are satisfied with their jobs and enjoy better salaries than in other sectors, and that some flexi-time measures and other working conditions may play in their favor. This needs to be highlighted in order to encourage many more women to work in ICT. However, our results also suggest that too many women still suffer gender-based discrimination, work-life balance conflicts, and serious difficulties in being promoted. This also needs to be addressed if we are to improve the numbers of women in ICT.
Las cárceles femeninas en América Latina constituyen una buena atalaya donde mirar las nuevas tendencias del control punitivo hacia las mujeres encarceladas en el resto del mundo. Las precarias condiciones de vida de las presas, la criminalización por drogas de las que son pobres, las discriminaciones y vulneraciones de sus derechos, en especial de las indígenas y también las resistencias a la disciplina y a la arbitrariedad carcelaria son, entre otros, algunos de los temas que se han ido analizando en las últimas tres décadas en América Latina por parte de investigadoras feministas. El objetivo del artículo es hacer una revisión y un análisis de las principales autoras y de los principales estudios feministas sobre el sistema de justicia criminal en relación con las mujeres, con especial atención al control penal y a las cárceles femeninas, para visibilizar lo que se ha escrito y así empezar a transformarlo.
Yes, we fuck! (2015) is a documentary that seeks to portray the sexuality of people with functional diversity that focuses on their empowerment and critiques ableism. Its filming has helped to generate alliances between Spanish activist groups, which have been named Alianzas Tullido-Transfeministas (Crip-Queer Alliances). Based on a research project that combined traditional and digital ethnography, this article reflects on how these crip-queer alliances have been constructed. First, we present a genealogy that contextualizes key events and explains their origins. Second, we analyse the construction process of the alliances, from queer to crip and vice versa, in order to reflect on the notions of intimacy that these alliances mobilize, while analysing their discourses and performances around the body, bonding, desire and sexuality. Finally, we explain the potential, as well as the difficulties and challenges, of these alliances.We conclude that they have followed their own situated process, where activists bring into play their bodies, emotions and intimacies and thus generate enormous potential for political action that questions ableism and heteropatriarchy
En este artículo presentamos parte de los resultados obtenidos en el análisis realizado a la Formación Profesional Básica desde una perspectiva de género. Un ciclo formativo incluido en la etapa obligatoria de nuestro sistema que introduce una adaptación curricular al tiempo que su diversificación según diversas familias profesionales a las que optará el estudiantado. En este caso el género emerge como variable fundamental para entender el escaso número de mujeres matriculadas, así como su concentración en ramas claramente connotadas en términos de género. Las entrevistas realizadas a los equipos de coordinación y orientación, fundamentales el acceso a una FPB, nos permiten constatar la pervivencia de una segregación por género de los diferentes itinerarios formativos justificada sobre las preferencias individuales. Esta justificación conlleva tomar medidas desde los centros en términos únicamente individuales y siempre mediatizadas por los escasos recursos (personales y formativos) disponibles pero sobre todo por la que es su principal prioridad: evitar el abandono precoz de los estudios. El resultado es un ciclo formativo en el que las mujeres están o bien ausentes o bien concentradas en ciclos fuertemente feminizados, disminuyendo sus oportunidades formativas y laborales.
Digital Gender Based Violence (DGBV) is a growing social problem and affects especially younger people. DGBV describes any kind of Gender Based Violence (GBV) related with new Information and Communication Technologies. To combat DGBV we designed the teaching innovation project "Digital gender-based violence: learning from feminisms" aiming to contribute to the eradication of digital sexist violence in order to promote healthy digital relationships. The project is part of the broader Service Learning project of the University of Barcelona "Sharing Ideas -University goes to High school": In the classes at University, students will learn the curriculum specific content, to develop a workshop to be implemented in short sessions with high school students.We implement the project at the University of Barcelona in the subjects Social Control (6 ECTS, compulsory) and Sociology of Genders (3 ECTS, optional) of the Sociology Bachelor. Beside the high schools, the project also involves the feminist third sector organization Alia complementing the university students' training on DGBV. The different actors involved underline the inter-institutional character of the project. The project is a special Service Learning experience as it applies feminist research and teaching methodologies, emphasizing social transformation of gender inequalities.For our project, we share our research results on DGBV with our students in order to enable them to identify and recognize what are DGBV and why they occur. Therefor we expose our own research answering the following questions: what profiles are most affected? What are the profiles of the aggressors? What are the survivors' reactions on DGBV and how do they evaluate them? For the introductory sessions, we count with the support of the third sector association Alia. The main objective of these activities is to raise the awareness of existing DGBV between adolescents and young people. In addition, we aim to share tools to protect themselves from DGBV as well as to deal with DGBV in order to finally eradicate DGBV.We wonder if the project achieves its goals: Do university students acquire new content at class? Are the contents we provide university students with helpful in order to prepare the workshops at school? What are the additional contents and competences acquired during the workshops at school? Do the high school students benefit from the workshop in terms of contents and competences? We also assess gender differences taking into account gender and paying specially attention to non-binary identified persons.In order to assess these research questions, we consider observation of the sessions, students' reflections (qualitative) as well as a quantitative questionnaire.
