Questões de gênero na internet : o facebook como espaço de (re) produção de binarismos de gênero

Abstract

The Internet provides access to information, sale and exchange of products, dialogue between people of different cultures and bringing people together, but also allows the standardization of beliefs and behaviors related to ideals of beauty, experiences and other stereotypes reinforced by media. There are several built and deconstructed possibilities within the cyberspace which evoke behaviors outside that context. Politics, economy, culture, music, sports and many other subjects are broadcast from that networked universe. Thus, questions about gender relations also pervade the universe and currently earn the highlights. In the face of political, economic and socio-cultural changes that are taking place in contemporary society becomes relevant the practice of reflexive and dialogic actions inside and outside of school. In this perspective, this paper seeks to enable reflections as those produced gender binaries and played on Facebook, allowing problematizations as the importance and scope of this social network to mobilizations and reflections as gender norms established in our society.
