La obra de María Luisa García Gil es relevante por su sensibilidad hacia el paisaje y el medio rural gallego. Arquitecta nacida el 10 de octubre de 1949 en Madrid, se trasladó en 1976 a la periferia peninsular, en plena transición española, época caracterizada por la escasez de mujeres en el pleno ejercicio de la profesión, a pesar de su progresiva incorporación a los estudios acreditados de arquitectura.

This article addresses the impact of COVID-19 in the illustration sector in Uruguay, through the survey of available information and the conduction of in-depth interviews with artists and qualified informants. The text is structured in the following sections: background (historical antecedents of the local graphic sector), public policies and spaces of resistance (main policy instruments and social actions affecting this art), the illustration sector (main characteristics of this market), impacts and opportunities of the pandemic (observed effects and trends), and final remarks on a possible post-pandemic scenario. Its main conclusions indicate that the pandemic has forced artists to seek new subsistence opportunities, promoting a greater professionalization and creating market niches independent of the galleries and large publishing houses. It has also gathered artists around a common objective of "resistance" that strains the balance between the functional and social aspects of the discipline. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Como parte de suas comemorações aos seus 50 anos, a Trans/Form/Ação: revista de filosofia da Unesp abre a “Chamada para publicação de entrevistas com distintas/os filósofas/os brasileiras/os”. O objetivo da chamada consiste na publicação de entrevistas nas quais consagradas/os pensadoras/es brasileiras/os possam dialogar sobre suas histórias pessoais e acadêmicas, suas pesquisas, teses, visões de mundo, dentre outras questões via perguntas produzidas por pensadoras/es com alguma distinção na linha de pesquisa da/o entrevistada/o.

Resumen Este estudio busca abordar cómo se investiga el contexto comunicativo latinoamericano desde la academia española. En el ámbito metodológico, se emplea el meta análisis para radiografiar los artículos científicos y proyectos de investigación y desarrollo publicados en España entre 2007 y 2018, que han abordado el contexto latinoamericano como objeto de estudio. De forma complementaria se incluyen entrevistas semiestructuradas con expertos latinoamericanos del campo académico que facilitan la comprensión de algunas de las mediaciones institucionales que han intervenido en la configuración de esos estudios. Esta combinación de métodos permite la triangulación de resultados y la discusión sobre los horizontes de la investigación, sobre Latinoamérica desarrollada en España. Como resultados se detecta el carácter mayoritariamente empírico de la producción científica española que versa sobre América Latina. Además, se observa una ausencia de agendas investigadoras implicadas con la transformación social y con las necesidades comunicativas de las comunidades y territorios de América Latina.

Resumen El campo produce configuraciones singulares de las relaciones entre quien investiga y quien es entrevistado. Se analizan registros de campo significativos de entrevistas en profundidad a agentes de fuerzas de seguridad en Argentina. Sostenemos que la interseccionalidad entre género, generación y profesión produce determinados modos de intelegir y actuar en correspondencia. Proponemos tres momentos que se desarrollan en dicha configuración: seducción, dominación y huida. Se analizan los resultados desde el interaccionismo simbólico, la teoría de género, la antropología de las emociones y el psicoanálisis.

How can researchers conduct interviews about sensitive topics the interlocutors are unwilling to discuss? This article contributes to the ongoing debates on interviewing. While we are observing a growing interest in this research method among international relations scholars, we lack formalized advanced practices for overcoming interview-related challenges. Drawing on elite interviews conducted in Israel and the UK, the article introduces two research techniques particularly useful in discussing controversial or sensitive matters: in-situ texts and adaptable self-presentation practices. It first presents the types of challenges I faced seeking answers as to why secure and powerful states like the UK and Israel employ narratives of vulnerability in wartime public communication. Then it analyses how the use of in-situ texts during interviews assists in introducing sensitive topics into the interview. I illustrate how they allow me to quickly establish the importance of the research phenomenon as well as to facilitate more open conversations. Finally, I show the benefits of the adaptable self-presentation technique. The goal of this practice is to conduct a responsive interview. One in which the researcher builds trust with the participant by bringing out its own biographical aspects that emphasize either its outsider or insider status. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The situation of Spanish Early Career Researchers (ECRs) during the pandemic is presented, taking into account the main changes caused by confinement in their work habits and academic communication practices. Based on the information extracted from interviews and surveys, the transformations experienced in the following areas are analyzed: distance teaching, research production, the evaluation system and the metrics used, the progress of open science, peer review, ethically questionable practices, collaboration and networking, online meetings and conferences, scientific dissemination and outreach and the use of social networks. After the pandemic, some disruptions have reversed. However, others have remained. The pandemic has normalized the use of virtual and hybrid events and promoted researchers' dissemination practices, among other changes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Existe consenso sobre la importancia de la interdisciplina en el abordaje de problemáticas vinculadas a la reducción del riesgo de desastres. El presente trabajo busca visibilizar, mediante el análisis de un caso de estudio, como las ciencias sociales, en diálogo e interacción con las exactas y naturales, resultan en un recurso clave para caracterizar un territorio y una comunidad afectada por una erupción volcánica y así obtener información que contribuya al diseño de estrategias de intervención efectivas para la reducción de riesgos en futuros eventos eruptivo. La investigación analiza y se propone comprender la gestión de la crisis eruptiva 2018-2019 del Peteroa, uno de los volcanes más activos de los Andes del Sur. Sus inmediaciones son habitadas por una comunidad rural que practica la ganadería extensiva trashumante y que está atravesada por una serie de vulnerabilidades frente a los peligros volcánicos. Articulando perspectivas y herramientas disciplinares, recuperamos las experiencias y características de distintos actores claves e identificamos problemáticas, falencias y aspectos positivos que tuvieron lugar durante la crisis eruptiva. Enfocando el análisis en 3 nodos centrales –articulación, asistencia y comunicación– iluminamos algunas dimensiones para gestionar futuras crisis, pero también para trabajar en la reducción del riesgo durante períodos no eruptivos.

Entrevista a Alicia Dujovne Ortiz

Las entrevistas recopiladas en este dossier, complementan los estudios de la sección temática “Rutas de autoras judeo-latinoamericanas hacia un sentido de pertenencia”, incluidos en este mismo número de América sin Nombre. En esta sección temática, hemos explorado la representación de las trayectorias, los mapas y los lugares en la obra literaria de las autoras judeo-latinoamericanas. Entre las conclusiones de dicha sección temática, destaca la necesidad que sienten las autoras estudiadas de crear una identidad espacial a través de su obra literaria. Además, la creación de los lugares de origen y de la trayectoria de los ancestros en su obra literaria es un elemento constantemente presente. Las autoras escriben y reescriben esos lugares a lo largo de sus libros y parece como si estuvieran remodelando esos lugares reiteradamente sin que éstos lleguen a tener nunca una forma definitiva. Este rasgo recurrente de la obra literaria de las autoras judeo-latinoamericanas estudiadas hace surgir una serie de interrogantes: ¿Qué es lo que las autoras conocen sobre sus lugares de origen? ¿Cuál es la imagen que han recibido de éstos? ¿Cómo se realizó en sus familias la transmisión intergeneracional de la imagen del lugar de pertenencia? A fin de responder algunas de estas preguntas, en esta sección de entrevistas nos alejamos del nivel de la ficción para adentrarnos a la realidad de las familias de las autoras. Nos proponemos, así, explorar otra faceta en la construcción del sentido de pertenencia, mediante el registro de las diferentes modalidades de transmisión intergeneracional de los imaginarios espaciales en el exilio judeo-latinoamericano. Este dossier de entrevistas proporciona, así, un contrapunto a las conclusiones que hemos sacado de los estudios de la sección temática “Rutas de autoras judeo-latinoamericanas hacia un sentido de pertenencia”.

Los programas de recreos activos han sido señalados como espacios ideales para proporcionar a los escolares beneficios físicos, cognitivos, emocionales y sociales. Este estudio se propuso examinar las percepciones de los docentes y de las familias acerca de la implementación de un programa de recreos activos durante un curso escolar que se basó en la construcción compartida de materiales por padres y estudiantado. Participaron 10 docentes de Educación Primaria (nueve mujeres y un hombre; Medad = 31.4 ± 5.56) y 14 miembros de familias (10 mujeres y cuatro hombres, Medad = 45 ± 2.44) procedentes de un centro privado del País Vasco. Se realizó un estudio cualitativo mediante entrevistas semiestructuradas. El análisis de datos por categorías se basó en reducción de datos, análisis descriptivo e interpretación. Los resultados mostraron seis dimensiones compartidas por docentes y familiares: Conocimiento del programa, Material autoconstruido, Efectos psicológicos, Efectos físicos, Socialización, y Obstáculos y facilitadores. Estos hallazgos arrojan la luz al apoyo de intervenciones de recreos activos con material autoconstruido, y convergen, casi en su totalidad, con los informados por el alumnado en estudios previos. Palabras clave: patios activos, reciclaje, modelo pedagógico, entrevistas, actividad física, juego. Abstract. Active playgrounds programs have been identified as ideal spaces to provide students with physical, cognitive, emotional and social benefits. This study aimed to examine the perceptions of teachers and families about the implementation of an active recess program during a school year that was based on the shared construction of materials by parents and students. Ten Primary Education teachers (nine women and one man; Mage = 31.4 ± 5.56) and 14 family members (10 women and four men, Mage = 45 ± 2.44) from a private school in the Basque Country participated. A qualitative study was carried out through semi-structured interviews. Data analysis by categories was based on data reduction, descriptive analysis and interpretation. The results showed six dimensions, shared by teachers and family members: Knowledge of the program, Self-made material, Psychological effects, Physical effects, Socialization, and Obstacles and facilitators. The results shed light on the support of active playground interventions with self-made material and converge almost entirely with those reported in previous studies by students. Key words: active playgrounds, recycling, pedagogical model, interviews, physical activity, game.

Se presenta la experiencia de acceder a entrevistas con individuos de la élite política y económica chilena para una investigación. En el marco del trabajo se justifica la importancia de escrutar a las élites, para luego desarrollar, extensamente y en términos etnográficos, los hechos y situaciones que permitieron el diálogo. A partir de esta práctica y de la literatura sobre el tema, se reflexiona sobre el acceso a este tipo de entrevistados y los aspectos que se deben considerar en el encuentro. Se propone, asimismo, un enfoque ético diferente que sea de utilidad para quienes se adentren en este tipo de estudios, elusivos por definición.

El venado de las pampas (Ozotoceros bezoarticus) es un ciervo de tamaño mediano y hábitos gregarios que ocupa pastizales abiertos, con reducida distribución actual en Argentina. En la provincia de Buenos Aires, donde fue declarado Monumento Natural Provincial, subsiste únicamente una población relictual en la bahía Samborombón. Distintas evidencias testimonian su presencia en el pasado en la costa del Río de la Plata. El objetivo de este artículo es aportar al conocimiento de la relación entre el venado de las pampas y las sociedades humanas en perspectiva diacrónica en el área rioplatense (partidos de Magdalena, Punta Indio y Berisso, provincia de Buenos Aires). Para ello se articula información arqueozoológica de contextos prehispánicos e históricos, el estudio de documentos históricos y las narrativas de pobladores locales. Los registros arqueológicos prehispánicos evidencian una presencia importante de la especie en el pasado y permiten interpretar estrategias de caza y aprovechamiento integral. Con la irrupción europea comenzó un proceso que en gran medida configuró el paisaje actual, con la introducción de especies vegetales y animales, particularmente el ganado. Distintas fuentes documentales señalan el aprovechamiento de la especie y la comercialización de sus cueros. Además, el avance de la ganadería y el uso del alambrado a partir de mediados del siglo XIX, transformaron el paisaje donde habitaba el venado. A principios del siglo XX, la introducción de ciervos axis (Axis axis) y chanchos jabalíes (Sus scrofa), coadyuvaron a la desaparición de la especie en el área de estudio. Los venados de las pampas son considerados parte del pasado de la región costera. La confluencia de perspectivas de análisis posibilita recorrer la historia de la relación animal-humano e indagar saberes en torno al paisaje.

Affective computing aims to create systems capable of recognizing, processing, and simulating human emotions to enhance human-computer interaction. Speech emotion recognition (SER) is a highly effective and non-invasive technique for assessing a user's emotions by analyzing physiological variables. However, despite its widespread use in end-user perception identification, few applications have been developed in the field of forensic analysis. To address this gap, this research proposes a new forensic emotion analysis software system, FOREMAN, based on the emotional study of the voice. The system was developed using the Iterative Research Pattern. foreman determines the fluctuation of emotions in an audio file, as well as the percentage and spatial distribution of emotions present in its segments, using clustering methods. The system's effectiveness is demonstrated by its application to an audio file taken from a Colombian Special Jurisdiction for Peace (JEP) hearing. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

There is a growing consensus about the complementary nature of institutional and noninstitutional politics as means to push forward policy agendas. However, the bulk of research tends to concentrate on one aspect of this relationship, namely, how social movements influence the political arena, for example by impacting different stages of the policymaking process and creating new political parties. There is comparatively less understanding of the reverse dynamics: the degree to which political parties also influence the protest arena by adopting and utilizing strategies and tactics commonly associated with social movements and by connecting to demonstrators. Focusing on Argentina and Chile, two countries that have experienced massive protest waves in recent years, this article examines the presence of political parties in the organization, staging, and channeling of demonstrations. Given that the reception of political parties in demonstrations is closely tied to whether they are welcome in the protest arena or not, we also analyze how Argentine and Chilean protesters perceive political parties and the level of identification they feel with them. Our primary data source comes from 1 935 surveys conducted as part of the Caught in the Act of Protest: Contextualizing Contestation (ccc) network between 2015 and 2017. We found that political parties in Argentina exhibit stronger ties to social movements compared to those in Chile. We seek to link this outcome to divergent and historically rooted patterns of protest dynamics in both countries and discuss the implications of our findings in the conclusion.

Studying the quality of journalism in Portugal is important, given the current financial crisis the business landscape is going through, where newsrooms are increasingly smaller and with precarious working conditions. In this context, how do Portuguese television and radio journalists assess the quality of journalism practised in Portugal and the conditions they have to produce news? This article seeks to answer two research questions, through the use of semistructured interviews with 11 radio and television journalists in Portugal: (a) how do television and radio journalists define quality journalism; and (b) how do television and radio journalists assess the quality of journalism produced in Portugal? The interviewees stressed the importance of following the profession's ethical rules, maintaining accuracy and impartiality, as well as other more formal aspects, such as the quality of their writing or the ability to captivate their audience. As for the conditions needed to practise good journalism, the importance of time and job stability stood out, which the interviewees agreed are in short supply. Although the interviewees were not unanimous in their assessment of the quality of television and radio journalism in Portugal -- even the most positive ones had criticisms to make -- most of the journalists interviewed considered that their working conditions for producing good journalism fall short of what is desired.

La entrevista abarca algunos años de vida y de producción fílmica de la artista paraguaya Paz Encina (Asunción, 1971), pero se concentra en sus cuatro largometrajes hasta 2023 que atañen a gestos de memoria. Hubo menciones a la reunión de las convicciones políticas con sus poéticas, mediante una gramática de la democracia en Latinoamérica y las provisiones estéticas que se le cargan. Es así en su obra Hamaca paraguaya (2006), Ejercicios de memoria (2016), Veladores (2020) y Eami (2022). En verdad, sumados a los videos, instalaciones y cortos, esas piezas de proporciones vultosas son como suites del desacuerdo entre las nacionalidades que habitan el territorio nacional al que Paz denomina con la suspicacia de un bardo como un país chiquito entre dos gigantes.

Resumo Este artigo foi originalmente publicado em 1981. Ele discute questões éticas e metodológicas envolvidas no trabalho de campo com pessoas da mesma sociedade da antropóloga, mas de grupos subalternos, indagando: o que legitima os métodos científicos de investigação da vida dos outros, fazendo com que pareçam aceitáveis, ao invés de questionáveis? O estudo baseia-se na análise de Foucault sobre regimes de saber-poder nas ciências sociais, para entender o que molda diferentes metodologias de pesquisa e as práticas da autora. Considera que a pesquisa de campo é estruturada no contexto de um regime de produção de conhecimento científico que legitima relações de poder nas quais um pede para saber tudo e o outro se sente obrigado a dizer a verdade que, no entanto, só quem pergunta será capaz de revelar. O artigo argumenta que o que é apresentado como verdade ou em entrevistas ou no texto da análise é produto de uma certa relação, marcada por diferenças de poder e desigualdade social. Além disso, sugere que a relação de trabalho de campo é produtiva: o que é dito não existia antes para ser revelado, mas foi construído nessa relação desigual. Assim, a interpretação de dados de campo sempre tem que considerar as condições de sua produção.

Em um intervalo de quinze anos, o ex-goleiro Marcos Carneiro de Mendonça (1894-1988) prestou dois depoimentos ao Museu da Imagem e do Som, em suas matrizes do Rio de Janeiro e de São Paulo. Ícone do chamado amadorismo na história do futebol brasileiro, tendo sido goleiro do Fluminense durante a belle époque, ídolo da seleção e protagonista do primeiro título sul-americano da modalidade em 1919, a trajetória de Marcos é alvo recorrente de interesse acadêmico entre os historiadores e pesquisadores, seja em seus aspectos biográficos e imagéticos, seja nos arquivísticos. Neste artigo revisita-se a construção da persona e do significado do atleta, enfatizando menos sua biografia, suas imagens e seu conhecido álbum de recortes, depositado na Biblioteca Nacional, e mais esses dois relatos orais. A finalidade precípua é tomar os dois depoimentos em conjunto, como se se tratasse do mesmo testemunho, dilatado no tempo, com vistas a identificar suas continuidades e descontinuidades. Reutilizar essa fonte sonora dá subsídios para entender as estratégias dos entrevistadores na assunção do passado e, em contrapartida, permite compreender como o próprio depoente constrói o pioneirismo de sua figura desportista e direciona os episódios e os aspectos da técnica futebolística, especialmente os da posição de goleiro, que considera dignos de rememoração, em consonância com o período histórico e com o espaço institucional em que as entrevistas foram concedidas.

O presente artigo reflete a Tese de doutorado defendida pelo autor e teve como objetivo compreender o Programa de Animação Cultural elaborado por Darcy Ribeiro, nos Centros Integrados de Educação Pública do Rio de Janeiro (CIEPs/CIEPs-RJ), entre os anos 1983-1987, problematizando a inteireza da escola com o ambiente sociocultural dos alunos e alunas a partir de suas comunidades. Tema posteriormente revisitado no pós-doutoramento, em destaque no desenvolvimento do texto. O retorno à pesquisa, considerando a distinção entre cada período observado, ampliou a compreensão dos fatos. Na metodologia priorizamos fontes bibliográficas e documentais, mescladas às entrevistas de campo. As duas últimas interlocuções são apresentadas no texto em tela. A pesquisa de natureza qualitativa, também buscou ressaltar o conhecimento empírico acumulado pelos Animadores Culturais para atuar no cotidiano escolar. O resultado obtido na investigação inspira possibilidades emancipatórias diante de uma prática pedagógica marcada por fatores tradicionais.

This study examines attitudes about integration and support for citizenship in the context of the Syrian refugee crisis in Turkey based on 85 interviews in four provinces. Consistent with past research, respondents reported multiple threat perceptions around refugees, with security and cultural threats predominating. Those who perceived refugees as threatening in three or more ways generally believed in fewer prospects for integration and were unlikely to support citizenship. However, positive views were present among those who reported one or even two types of threats, indicating there are possibilities for developing inclusionary attitudes even in the presence of threat perceptions. Our research also identifies two counterintuitive reasons some individuals support citizenship for refugees: to reduce security threats and remedy perceived favoritism in social support policies. These findings shed light on the complex bases of attitudes around migration and have important implications for designing refugee settlement policies and efforts to support integration.

Brazil is an emerging country with tremendous potential and the ambition to become a major player in global politics. Achieving high international status, however, depends not only on aspiration, but on the intersubjective perceptions of states that are already established as great powers. Brazil’s rise is connected not only to its attributes of power but to how the country is perceived by others. This article advances the study of Brazil’s status by analyzing the image of the country according to the perceptions of the foreign policy community of the permanent members of the United Nations Security Council. It contributes to International Relations scholarship by addressing the relation between images of a nation and its level of prestige. The article argues that knowledge about Brazil is limited even among global elites and is mostly associated with superficial stereotypes [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Purpose: This article presents the results of qualitative research performed through the semi-structured interviews to elaborate a theoreticalmethodological human resources churning model that will allow to statistically describe the relations of interdependence between the selected variables, to analyze their impact, and to test hypotheses in future studies. Originality/value: The relevance of this study lies in the opportunity to contribute to the development of such an intricate, unexplored topic, with scarcely available literature and empirical studies, providing the elaboration of an interview script as an instrument for data collection that facilitates future studies. Churning of human resources (excess of turnover) is solely related to the replacement of workers who voluntarily choose to leave organizations (Burgess et al., 2000). Design/methodology/approach: This study follows a qualitative approach. The process of data collection consisted of developing a semi-structured interview guide to gather information through the performance of 20 interviews. Findings: Through the analysis of the results, it was possible to ascertain that the more favorable churning dimensions are, the greater the retention of workers in organizations. Thus, the elaboration and application of strategic measures by organizations become relevant for the retention of the most experienced and qualified workers in order to avoid high costs with new hiring, which are a direct result of such replacements (churning).

Se está produciendo un cambio en España, y a escala internacional, con respecto a la atención temprana y a la concepción de los/as niños/as y la discapacidad (Tamarit, 2015). Se está pasando de un enfoque clínico, basado en la rehabilitación y centrado en las/los niñas/os, a un enfoque más global, sistémico, ecológico, centrado en la familia y en los entornos naturales. Sin embargo, su alcance y generalización siguen siendo desiguales. En Castilla-La Mancha (una comunidad autónoma española) se está realizando un esfuerzo de transformación en este sentido. El presente estudio, a través de entrevistas en profundidad a agentes relevantes (familiares, personal de la Administración y profesionales que ocupaban los roles de coordinación y de gerencia en entidades de Plena inclusión Castilla-La Mancha) y el análisis de su contenido, ha indagado en los avances logrados en el proceso de transformación; los factores involucrados, tanto en la vida interna de los servicios y entidades como en el entorno externo; y los principales obstáculos y los retos pendientes. A partir de la información recabada, se propone un modelo que describe la transformación y que puede facilitar la transferencia de conocimiento a centros y comunidades que estén desarrollando (o se lo estén planteando) un proceso de transformación similar hacia un enfoque centrado en la familia.

La década de 1990 produjo un mayor enfoque en el arte social y comunitario, lo que llevó a un desarrollo teórico en este campo. En la actualidad, el arte social ha encontrado su lugar dentro del sector artístico contemporáneo español, a través de convocatorias y programaciones de las instituciones. En el presente artículo ofrecemos un estudio actualizado de las convocatorias y programaciones más destacables que promueven el arte participativo en España, con el objetivo de conocer de manera precisa sus orígenes, modelos de gestión y el impacto social que generan. Mediante una metodología cualitativa basada en entrevistas personales con sus gestores o comisarios, indagaremos en los desafíos, oportunidades y perspectivas que enfrentaron estos actores clave en la producción y organización de eventos artísticos participativos. El análisis de los datos obtenidos permitirá una comprensión más profunda de la dinámica del arte participativo en el país, y contribuirá al enriquecimiento del campo de los estudios culturales y la gestión de eventos artísticos.

Introduction: Given the multiplicity of definitions about the concept of human resource churning, we took as a premise, the costs associated with the replacement of workers from voluntary departures from organisations. As this is a subject that has not yet been widely explored in Portugal, this study aims to expand the theoretical framework, as well as the empirical studies; Goals; Methods: This qualitative study aims to identify the main precedents of human resource churning and the strategic measures applied by organisations to mitigate it. In order to make the objective feasible, the research question was: what is the origin of churning in organisations and what are the mitigation measures? As a data collection method, 20 semi-structured interviews were conducted with human resources directors from various sectors of activity, which were analysed through content analysis in order to extract the main variables, emphasising the development of a theoretical model and its analysis; Results: In order to analyse this model, 3 propositions were defined and proceeded to their substantiation, using the literature on the subject and the information obtained through the interviews, it was possible to analyse the veracity of the defined propositions. It was possible to predict that human resource churning precedents negatively influence the occurrence of human resource churning; that mitigation measures have a positive influence on human resource churning and that mitigation measures have a positive influence on human resource churning precedents; Conclusions: The greater the investment in the application and/or development of policies and practices of human resources retention, the lower the churning rate will be, and therefore the costs derived from the replacement of workers will be reduced.

In view of the negative view of the phenomenon of menstruation and recent market changes aimed at the search for ecological consumption and real female representations, this research seeks to understand the relationship between women, menstruation and these new trends, in order to respond to the following question: How do consumers of ecological menstrual products perceive their relationship with menstruation and with these products? For that, texts were used as a basis that addressed the cultural aspects of menstruation in Brazil, the ecological market trends and how advertising and marketing aimed at the female audience and menstruation evolved over time. Data were collected from the analysis of cultural texts and interviews with consumers of ecological products. As a result, it was identified that the advertisements belonging to the second half of the century. XXI began to represent menstruation as a positive and natural phenomenon. With regard to consumers, the data indicate that their relationship with menstruation seems to have improved after using ecological menstrual products, as they feel safer and more confident, since the products generate greater autonomy and comfort for them.
