Gender, violence and socialization in school

Abstract

The construction of identities and roles according to the hegemonic feminine and masculine models affects a good part of the social, familiar and professional life of women and men. This is the background for the interactions that take place. That refers to power relationships which, because to its own normativism, are violent. The relational networks of children and teenagers put in evidence differential socialization processes. In this article the relational preferences of fifteen class groups are analyzed, from the collected sociometric data in some schools of the Autonomous Community of Catalonia.
