This article presents an experience report about the difficulties faced by an undergraduate student of the bachelor's degree in Geography at the Federal Institute of Bahia (IFBA), to elaborate her final term paper, addressing the theme of gender issues, particularly on domestic violence against women. Given the need to seek for transforming and combating some conceptions rooted in this patriarchal, chauvinist, sexist and racist society, it is essential to put in the center of the academic discussions and reflections issues that afflict women, since the University is an important space for the deconstruction of paradigms. In this sense, this article aims to "provoke" Geography teachers and students to think/research on this subject. Such themes are not only important, but fundamental and should be treated/discussed in academic spaces, especially in the context of teacher training programs in Geography, which has as its object of study the geographical space and the relations between human beings and their environment. even demanding, therefore, that people who act as teachers be professionals prepared/formed to deconstruct "patriarchal" models and patterns that subdue and subjugate women.

This paper explores the understanding of gender in the scientific production on racial identity in the Brazilian geography. To achieve this goal, a survey was carried out at the Brazilian Geography Observatory, which currently has 25,437 catalogued papers from 1939 to 2019. The keywords that guided the search were: raça, racialidade, negro, negritude, etnicidade, etnia, quilombo, quilombola, indígena, comunidade tradicional, originária, índio, étnicoracial, movimento negro and Lei 10.639 (race, racial identity, black people, blackness, ethnicity, ethnic origin, quilombo, quilombola, indigenous people, traditional community, origin, indigenous person, ethnicracial, black movement, and the Law 10,639). Four hundred and fiftytwo papers were found. Gender characteristics in the authorship were explored, as well as the institutional origin and the impact factor of the publications using the H index. The results evidenced a male predominance in the authorship on racial identities, and also showed that the discussion has been mainly developed in the centerwest and southeast of the country.

This paper presents a didactic proposal to be applied in the second cycle of basic education in Chile, in which a feminist geographical perspective is integrated into the approach to some socioenvironmental conflicts in Latin America. This is the result of an investigation focused on the articulation between geography teaching, feminism, and socioenvironmental conflicts in the context of the Chilean curriculum. To achieve this aim, some theoretical discussions are developed around feminist geography, socioenvironmental conflicts, and geographical education. Next, a didactic proposal addressing different socioenvironmental conflicts is presented. Finally, some initial conclusions are shared regarding the potentialities and challenges to be tackled.

This paper aims to outline the phenomenon of violence against women during the Covid19 pandemic in the states of the Brazilian Northern region. The discussion is based on the theoretical contributions of feminist geography and intersectionality, and on the sociohistorical and cultural aspects that help to compose the studied scenario. Bibliographic research was carried out on websites, official bulletins and scientific works, and the results and discussions developed showed lack of information, which denounces the silencing of northern women including its particularities according to space, culture and descriptors of race, class and gender, which were intensified by the changes resulting from the pandemic.

This paper analyzes the different meanings given to gender by men involved in domestic violence in the municipality of Ponta Grossa, Paraná, Brazil. To reach this objective, a group dynamics was carried out with nineteen men convicted of domestic violence, whose sentence includes taking part in a course organized by the non-governmental organization 'Melhor Viver' (Better Living), where they must reflect upon acts, values and ideas that generate violence against women. With legal authorization and the support of a professional in the psychology area, a focus group dynamics was developed, inspired in the idea put forward by Selltiz et al. (1987), in which the representations of masculinity, femininity, family and domestic spaces were discussed, classified and recorded. The research evidenced the permanence of traditional gender values that praise men as workers and family providers, and portray desirable women as those that fulfil the role of welcoming and maternity.

The present work has as its central purpose to investigate the gender category and its approach in the Latin American Journal of Geography and Gender, aiming to analyze the scientific productions of this journal between 2010 and 2019. It adopts a qualitative approach, and the documentary and bibliographic research as its methodology. The selection of papers resulted in a total of twelve articles, which were evaluated and distributed in the categories of Education and Geography Teaching. From the analyses, it was concluded that it is indispensable to work with the theme of gender within geography studies. The social essay of these studies allows students to understand the different forms of local empowerment by different social groups. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper tackles interactions between two fields of study since the 1960's. On the one hand, it presents academic production about sexual minorities in Mexico City, in order to observe how it integrates spatial variables; on the other hand, it studies in which forms urban studies have incorporated sexual minorities as an object of analysis. The first part of this paper describes academic works that have been produced about sexual minorities and illustrates the increasing weight of geographic aspects in the understanding of their practices and identities; whereas the second part offers a reading of those references to pay attention to the discussions and results related to contemporaneous metropolitan processes.

The theme 'Music, Gender and relationships' is the main reason to this paper. We try to discuss some issues on music learning in Brazilian Northeastern philharmonic groups and their members' affective relationships. We discuss the roles of men and women in historical time, according to some aspects: relations of power, teaching and the participation of the members of those groups, and their profile within a traditional context.

The objective of this paper is to analyze from a gender perspective how the process of insertion of Haitians that migrated to Brazil after the earthquake of 2010 occurred in the Brazilian job market. The theoretical background portrays the origins and causes of the migration movements and then discusses the process of migration, work and gender. The results indicated that the main positions occupied by women when they arrive in Brazil are in general services. Most men only manage to get manual jobs in awful working conditions and the women's situation is even more delicate as they face great difficulties in finding work that is flexible to take and pick up children in day care.

This paper presents a first theoretical approach, trying to draw some lines and notes that may be relevant in order to think the transnational migration of trans1 people. Throughout this paper, therefore, we propose some possible linkages between notions 'such as 'frontier' and 'journey', that drawn through bodily geographies and gender linked to the question of citizenship, and allow us to think about the movement and identity (re)definition that trans-migrant individuals develop through these multiple dimensional migrations. What are we thinking when we question on transmigration and trans-migrant subjects?, Are the notions of travel and border useful and/or fit to reflect on this phenomenon of trans-migration? Is it possible to similarly think geographical migrations and gender ones, as travels and personal itineraries (ESTEBAN, 2004), involved in trading processes and transport of belongings and changing of identity positions, and which relationships can be found between national borders and physical boundaries of gender? Which role performs the body in the space of representation and practice of citizenship and its relationship to gender and ethnic-national and social class origins? It is around those issues that this work developed, with the intention to be a first approach to propositions that could be interesting in order to think about and outline new questions that could the complex relationship among corporeality, gender, immigration status and citizenship.

This article aims to analyze the relationships between projects for women in the federal program Territórios da Cidadania (TC) and changes that occurred in the participation of women candidates and elected to the position of city councilor in the 2008 and 2012 elections in these regions. The paper focuses the analysis on application records, electoral results and electoral financing networks. The sources of data and information were collected on the Ministério de Desenvolvimento Agrário website, which was then responsible for the program Territórios da Cidadania, and on the website of the Tribunal Superior Eleitoral (TSE). Supplementary data on municipalities were also obtained from the Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística (IBGE). The data were organized in the form of a database and prepared for the generation of files of networks that were submitted to Gephi social network analysis software. The results show a considerable increase in women's political-electoral participation in TC above the national average as candidates and a timid increase in the number of women occupying council seats in the municipalities studied. To analyze these changes are used the positioning of the candidates in the financing networks and the changes in the profile of these women. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article aims to discuss the genderification1 of educational and curricular policies for Youth and Adult Education in the state education network of the state of Paraíba after the advances of conservatism in the national and international scenario. We analyzed Law No. 10,488, dated June 23, 2015 and the Operational Guidelines for the Operation of Schools of the State Education Network from 2012 to 2017. For the development of the study we chose as theoretical contributions authors such as Silva (1994); Gentili (1995); Research Papers (1997); Peroni (2003); Oliveira (2000); Freitas (2012); Bowe, Ball and Gold (1992); Ball (1989, 1994) and Ball, Maguire e Braun (2016). The studies and researches of these last authors are part of our epistemological microscope for carrying out analyzes on the educational policies that provoked the educational reforms in England and unfolded in the world scene. We argue that this perspective of educational policy analysis directs our understanding in political times marked by the expansion of conservatism and fundamentalism. Thus, neglecting the issues inherent in diversity strengthens its invisibility in the educational spaces of education professionals, widening a space for the promotion of conservative thinking.

This paper deals with gender differences in the daily mobility of the population in 'urban regions of Andalusia', using data from the "Social Survey 2011: Mobility in the urban regions of Andalusia", by the Institute of Statistics and Cartography of Andalusia. In this work, differences in the main variables of mobility (purpose of travel, means of transport used and time spent on travelling) are discussed. Moreover, this paper highlights gender differences in people's mobility, the different reasons which lead men and women to take trips, a greater use of public transport by women and the importance of using cars as the main private resource for people's mobility in Andalusia, regardless the gender, or urban region of origin.

In this paper, we propose to account how people in prostitution have been educated in the field of sexuality, both in family and in school. Institutions which produce, reproduce and maintain the social order established by the patriarchal culture, which is ruled by patters that define man and women's roles. Therefore, those who adopt different gender identities than acceptable are morally rejected; consequently, trans people have to resort to prostitution as the only possible activity performed by their gender. These reflections are part of a research on transsexuals in prostitution in Santiago del Estero, Argentina, which uses as its instrument collection data of life stories. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Brazil has a low participation of women in elective positions, little more than a tenth. This is a critical condition for a representative democracy. Among the structural determinants of this phenomenon is electoral financing. This paper investigates the participation of women in the financing networks of the 2014 elections in Brazil. The results show that the relations between the political agents produce an asymmetric and selective destination of those financial resources, constituting a structural dynamics of exclusion and marginalization of the women in the arenas of the power in Brazil. Based on data from the Superior Electoral Court (TSE), we organized a relational database and used the methodology of social network analysis and multivariate statistical treatments to explore the 220,325 relationships recorded among 185,255 funders, party agents and candidates in the 2014 elections.

This paper addresses mobility in metropolitan context, understood as the relationship between space, travel time, distance and accessibility. We analyze this phenomenon in the urban space. More specifically, we analyze mobility through the experience in public transportation of working class women in three cities: Recife, Managua and Guadalajara, in order to generate small portraits of gender mobility in different urban realities of Latin America.

The purpose of this paper is to present the results achieved through the implementation of an interdisciplinary project on the Supervised Internship discipline of Geography Course of the School of Integrated Sciences of the Pontal / Federal University of Uberlândia (FACIP / UFU), in the municipality Ituiutaba, MG. The realization of this project is justified from two central issues: first to work the importance of women in the contemporary context, and beyond work crosscutting issues in an interdisciplinary way. The activity was to enable the critical and interdisciplinary understanding of women in the contemporary world, through areas of science such as: Arts, Natural Sciences and Geography, and are based on crosscutting issues of Sexual Orientation and Cultural Plurality. The performance of these activities took place directly in a class of the 8th year of Elementary School Teaching of Basic Network, the Educational Center of Santa Vittoria (CESV). From a methodological point of view it was held readings and discussions. In addition, it performed a photographic survey on the Internet and development of teaching materials. It is considered that the realization of this activity allowed the students gave start to the understanding of women's issues critically and reflectively. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Unlike in other times, the immigrant today continues to maintain ties and close and continuous relationships with their country of origin, exerting an important psychosocial and cultural role in both countries. This paper examines, in particular, resonances of transnationalism in subjectivity, taking as object of analysis an Angolan song that portrays feelings of estrangement of a woman, because of the attitudes and behaviors of her husband, who had newly returned from Brazil. In the lyrics, the woman complains that her husband returned quite brazilianized, expressing in the relationship with her habits that she considers weird, inappropriate and offensive, according to local customs and morality. It is possible, according to this song, to see how the theme of emigration towards Brazil is present in the minds of Angolans and how they feel affected by the transubjectivity of their countrymen who return to home and instill foreign and transgressive elements in the innermost intimacy of their culture, here represented by the affective and sexual life of a couple.

Notwithstanding the remarkable contributions by Geography to the field of sexual minorities, there still exists a shrouding scientific marginality. Gay studies in Spain are also scarce and mainly framed by gender studies and centered on the concept of gay visibility, space production and tourist leisure. The term cruising is used to name gay men's anonymous sexual encounters in open/closed, public spaces near conurbations and presided over by a general lack of personal information exchange. This paper aims to examine cruising in three public, open spaces in Tenerife Island, thus intending to reduce the evident scientific marginality surrounding this practice by shedding some light on where they are, who visit them and why they drop by there.

This paper aims to raise some reflections towards the masculinity scenarios built by Pedro Almodóvar's filmography. Our analysis has taken as its basis the movie Talk to Her (2002). The theoretical route of this article is diversified, and seeks, first and foremost, to elucidate the existence of shading zones between film theory, geography and feminist approaches. Our practical bias, materialized through the analysis of Almodóvar's scenarios, presents itself by the same way. However, some characteristics stand out: the extreme importance of words, solitude and women in Marco's and Benigno's universes. These are the elements explored in this reflection.

In this paper, I propose to discuss the power relations which permeate gender configurations. This discussion follows the analysis of two films and scenic proposals adopted in teachers formation, all of them focusing on speeches marked by differences based on naturalized and hierarchical concepts of bodies. By virtue of their gender identification and sexuality, certain individuals are victims of various social exclusion processes, a context that is often the theme of several artistic productions that pungently deal with the unstable character of subjectivities construction.

The visibility given to women's actions in different dimensions has imposed the need for feminist studies in human and social sciences. In an attempt to contribute to the studies of gender aiming at the understanding of work geography, I have used categories, such as gender and sexual division of work, based on political commitment to feminism. Therefore, this paper dialectically works and reflects on the following issues: (1) the urgent need to study feminist movements and their contribution to human and social sciences; (2) the need to know the contribution of feminist geographies; (3) the analysis of categories which help work geography, in a feminist conceptual framework; and (4) the pressing necessity to think about the relation between feminism and work geographies.

This paper aims to examine how children's play can structure the socially defined roles in relation to the notion of gender within the school context. The theoretical and methodological assumptions used in this study cover the practice research funded by the Historic-Cultural Theory and Post-Structuralist Perspective. Among the results found, there is the thought of some research subjects, namely teachers and teaching staff of an Institution of Early Childhood Education, about gender, sometimes taken as a synonym for sex, or as a grammatical classification between female and male. On the other hand, there is also the understanding of gender as a social construction. As for plays, there was no consensus among the interviewees. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper analyzes the importance of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in the lives of rural women. The analysis holds on to data from a communication workshop that had the participation of women, held during the seventh edition of the Mercosur Solidarity Economy, held in July 2011 in the city of Santa Maria, RS, Brazil. In the research performed during the workshop, it was observed that differently from the rural women from the past, the ones from today have a greater concern with their appearance, with their self-esteem and a disposition to conquer new spaces, beyond those of the house and rural property, which enable the knowledge of other realities, the exchange of experiences and give them more autonomy. With regard of ICTs, while the rural women of yesterday used only battery radios and black-and-white televisions, the contemporary ones have cell phones, notebooks, color televisions, satellite dishes and digital cameras. Access to information and participation in social movements appear as the main factors that contributed to these changes in the rural women's lives. On the other hand, problems such as the lack of infrastructure and uncertainties about the future of family farming are quoted as their main challenges. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
