Concepciones en torno al cuerpo femenino y a la sexualidad: producciones narrativas elaboradas con adolescentes de 14 a 17 años, en la ciudad de Quito y Loja durante el año 2018

Abstract

Sexuality and the female body in particular, are issues that have caused controversy within society, are issues addressed by various currents that establish different interpretations depending on the approach on which it is based, be it biological, psychological, religious or social. If talking about these concepts what is usually done is to establish certain behavioral parameters, especially for the adolescent population that acts as a control device.

This research is done through narrative productions made with adolescents from the topic that has been proposed, collecting the discourses that participants have, relating and interpreting them with contributions and research from various authors that explain how these concepts act within the subjectivity of the subjects.

A qualitative methodology was used from interviews with adolescents; it is an exploratory type of investigation that allows us to know what is the position in which the participants find themselves with respect to the problem posed; with this I could discover that yes, there are still stereotypes that define what is sexuality, body, menstruation and woman; but at the same time, the same subjects have been visibilizing these concepts from a different feeling by seeing and establishing their own definitions, limits, making a critique of the traditional, that comes as control by society.
