Uma análise sobre as concepções de masculinidades dos alunos de Bacharelado em Ciências Sociais da Universidade Federal Rural de Pernambuco (UFRPE)

Abstract

This research seeks to understand masculinities and socialization processes. The work begins with a debate on the socialization process that Peter and Brigitte Berger (1977) characterize as the imposition of social behaviors. Afterwards, a discussion on hombrity models. His theoretical discussion recalls what Connel (1995) said about patriarchal aspects of certain performances of masculinities. Finally, a short conversation about what Santos (2005) said about the university crises and then Chauí (1999) is used to think about her idea of an operational university and university as a social institution. Although direct observation was not possible due to the health crisis of COVID-19, the semi-structured online interview technique was used to answer the key problem of this research: how are the masculinity models of social science students at UFRPE formed? As a final result, it is found that factors such as parents, friends, and institutions such as the military service and the university are responsible for spreading models of masculinity, but the models are not static and are always in a state of reconfiguration.
