A universidade como reflexo e agente transformador da sociedade: a contradição movendo a história

Abstract

Violência de gênero na universidade 1/5 réplica A leitura das excelentes contribuições oferecidas pelos textos de Alejandra López, Ana Flávia Pires Lucas d'Oliveira e Stela Meneghel nos permitiu identificar aspectos comuns presentes nos três, com importantes contribuições à compreensão do fenômeno da violência de gênero na universidade e à adoção de ações e diretrizes para seu efetivo enfrentamento. Em primeiro lugar, cabe destacar o momento atual da sociedade brasileira, que se reflete no cotidiano da universidade. Conforme ponderam nossas interlocutoras, a universidade não é um mundo à parte, não está imune às discriminações sociais e, como instituição social, exprime o modo de funcionamento da sociedade. Como recorte da sociedade, compartilha

Protocolos de prevenção e enfrentamento da violência sexual no contexto universitário: uma análise do cenário latino-americano

“…Yet another aspect standing out in analyses were whether policies included social markers or not, such as race, ethnic group, gender, sexual orientation, among others, in the conceptualization of sexual violence. This inclusion is relevant to the extent in which the frequency of sexual violence, its course, and its vicious effects may be different in face of these social parameters, hence requiring an intersectional approach (Maito et al, 2019a).…”

“…According to Maito et al (2019a), the university, as a social institution, reproduces social discriminations present in the society influenced by the dominant ideology. Subaltern groups, such as Black, indigenous, poor, and women, suffer a process of structural oppression that, across history, excluded them from the university and from the process of producing knowledge.…”

“…Subaltern groups, such as Black, indigenous, poor, and women, suffer a process of structural oppression that, across history, excluded them from the university and from the process of producing knowledge. Maito et al (2019a) refer to studies conducted at USP that evidenced circumstances of daily violence crossed by gender, race, social class, personal traits, among others, identified in the context of senior-first-year student and professor-student relationships. Thus, authors emphasize the need for a more intersectional approach, articulating sexual and gender violence to other forms of oppression.…”

“…In addition, we see a contemporary aggravating factor: a conservative government currently presenting setbacks in the achievements in human rights and feminist fields (Arruzza;Bhattacharya;Fraser, 2019), hindering the implementation of public policies against violence. Considering all aspects, we need to be aware of the silencing and reproduction of inequality and gender violence mechanisms in the universities, promoting changes through more effective inquiry measures, teaching practices, changes in the institutional culture, support to the victims, and holding aggressors accountable (Cruz et al, 2018;Maito et al, 2019a).…”

“…Several authors argue that sexual violence also takes place within the university environment (Fielding-Miller et al, 2019;Hill;Silva, 2005;McMahon et al, 2018), including Brazil (Almeida, 2019;Almeida, 2017;Bandeira, 2017;Costa, 2015;Cruz et al, 2018;Instituto Avon, 2015;Linhares;Laurenti, 2019;Maito et al, 2019aMaito et al, , 2019b. Works also emphasize the deleterious effects of sexual violence for the physical and mental health of victims (Hill;Silva, 2005;Linhares;Laurenti, 2019).…”
