Rita Levi-Montalcini: woman, Jewish and scientist.  

Author: Inés María Calvo Pena  

Degree: Biochemistry  

Abstract: Rita Levi-Montalcini (Turin, 22 April 1909 - Rome, 30 December 2012) was an Italian neurologist who discovered the first growth factor in the nervous system, for which she received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1986. She belonged to a family of Sephardic Jews in a fascist Italy under Mussolini’s control, who promulgated the `Manifesto of Race', that prohibited Jews from university education and professional practice, a fact which, together with the traditional values and mentality of her father against girls pursuing professional careers, made her scientific career difficult. Nevertheless, she continued her studies in hiding and also outside her native country and made great and important discoveries.

La perspectiva de género en la docencia universitaria en la Facultad de Ciencias de la Educación de la UAB: una observación participante con las docentes

Author: Olga Mampel Alonso

Degree: Pedagogy

Abstract: Nowadays, gender perspective (EP) in university teaching is an increasingly widespread concept in the field of higher education. Therefore, it is a concept from different perspectives, often quite contradictory to each other. In Catalonia, the Gender Conceptual Framework (2020) defines the EP in education from a multidimensional, transformable and transversal approach, and reflects from feminist epistemologies on the need to transgress Eurocentric, postcolonial and discriminatory boundaries and educational practice.

 

Per una educació menstrual enfocada a la Justícia Global: Guia per a mestres de cicle superior d’educació primària: portem la menstruació a les aules de 5è i 6è.   

Author: Lídia Moya Vila  

Degree: Primary Education

Abstract: Our society has established menstruation as a taboo subject, so there is a lack of information and awareness about it. For this reason, menstrual education is essential and needs to be promoted from childhood. Following this line, and taking into account that there are no tools that allow teachers to include menstrual education in their programming, the main objective is to provide primary school teachers with access to a tool to incorporate menstrual education in their programming in upper secondary classrooms and in a cross-cutting manner.

Author: Anna López Rodríguez  

Degree: Sociology  

Abstract: Gender emerges as a strong determinant of health, especially for trans and gender-dissident people, who are at a higher risk of suffering mental health problems tan the cisgender population and the rest of the LGBTIQ+ community. From a biopsychosocial perspective, a feminist epistemology applied to sociology, a decolonial gender perspective and a depathologizing perspective of trans identities, this research aims to give voice, through semi-directed interviews in life history format, to the experiences of trans and gender-dissident people as users of mental health care services in Barcelona.

 

La semilla roja del feminismo catalán: el pensamiento político de Giulia Adinolfi

Autoría: Marta Roman Martos

Degree: Political Science

Abstract: The following essay analyses the feminist political thought of Giulia Adinolfi. The paper focuses on the idea that feminism, as a mass movement, demonstrates the hegemonic character of the interests of the working classes. Adinolfi challenged the dominant ideas of orthodox Marxism, believing that feminism and the worker’s struggle should form a unity of action. For this reason, her thinking was characterised by her contribution of a vision of the feminist struggle that did not coincide with the generalised conception of Catalan feminism at the end of the 20^th century.

 

La creació de continguts en el món dels videojocs

Author: Paula Osorio Recorda

Degree: Applied Statistics + Sociology

Abstract: Content creation in the world of video games is increasingly becoming a career option for many young people. This research is an exploratory study that aims to find out why there are so few female content creators in the world of video games and what are the factors that explain this, which are relevant since those who reach the highest level end up becoming references for different generations. This study has been carried out using a mixed methodology, which includes both interviews with content creators and a survey of women aged between 12 and 45, and has shown that there is a gender gap that separates women from the world of video games.

¿Cómo responde el sistema penitenciario vasco a las necesidades de las mujeres? Una perspectiva de género e interseccional.

Author: Itziar Apezteguia Echevarria

Degree: Criminology + Law

Abstract: This research aims to examine how the Basque penitentiary system responds to the specific needs of women, from a gender and intersectionality. The theorical analysis presents the profile of women in prisons, both at a national and European level, as well as small theoretical review on the adequacy of treatment programmes for them. The results indicate that the Basque Country is far from attending to the needs of women and that the time spent in prison is a step backwards for their social rehabilitation.

Working-Class Sissies: Analysing Class, Masculinity and Sexuality in Pride and Billy Elliot   

Author: Bàrbara Hernández González   

Degree: English Studies   

Abstract: A 14-year-gap separates Billy Elliot (2000) from Pride (2014), which despite sharing many similarities, also maintain some core differences. The main aim of this paper is to analyse how class, masculinity, and sexuality intersect in the films. It will dissect how both films prioritize personal success narratives over the collective cause, evoking a turn towards neoliberalism and homonormativity. Moreover, the masculinities featured in the films will be studied in relation to homophobia, the hypermasculine façade, and violence.

La cotidianidad del género fantástico en Silvina Ocampo  

Author: María Eugenia Bersztein Celata  

Degree: Spanish Language and Literature

Abstract: Silvina Ocampo, one of the most renowned authors of fantasy literature, presents situations in which the disorder of reality occurs almost imperceptibly, that is, she shows the disturbing within the everyday. She deals with issues related to childhood and femininity from a perspective in which she transforms reality in order to question it. The stories “Autobiografía de Irene”, “La casa de azúcar”, “Amor” and “El diario de Porfiria” are analysed, focusing on girls with special abilities; language, writing and its limits; the double; the cruelty of his female characters; and love relationships.

Les gegantes, un complement dels gegants?: El fet geganter des d’una perspectiva de gènere i social

Author: David Caelles Fernández

Degree: Humanities

Abstract: The geganter fact provides a historical overview of the representation of gender in popular culture, as it emerged in the 15^th century and has become a tradition rooted in contemporary society. Even so, this paper fins that, to date, there is no comprehensive study of the geganter fact from a gender perspective. The research conducted discerns the social connotations, gender mandates and male domination intrinsic in the geganter fact based on stereotypes and gender roles and social reproduction, which are perpetuated in the male and female giants, and in the people of the geganters community and those involved in the folkloric elements.

 

Pudica, Potens, Atrox: Caracterització de dones al poder a les fonts primàries

Author: Aina Cami Ramonet

Degree: English and Classics

Abstract: This paper focuses on the representation in primary sources of women who indirectly exercised power. After an approach to the historical and social context and the sources, it analyses the lives of Livia, Agrippina the Younger and Agrippina the Elder and the lexicon used to describe them. To see whether the characterisation of women in power changed over the centuries, a comparison is made with three medieval English queens: Eleanor of Aquitaine, Isabella of France and Isabella Woodville.

Abra cadabra, dones en la màgia!

Author: Pol Batlle Blanch

Grau: Social and Cultural Anthropology

Abstract: This paper aims to approach the universe of Catalan illusionism through historical research, the narratives of the female magicians themselves, and the application of the ethnographic method of observation by participating in a magic circle in Morella. In a context where female magicians are not recognised, the research provides a compilation of their voices and experiences. Thus, gender, women and androcentrism are the main axes guiding this research, with gender inequality and discrimination being the main themes. Gender roles in illusionism, the unequal distribution of power and the resulting gender stratification are analysed.

 

M'he fet meus els carrers. La percepció de les dones respecte l'espai públic del barri Antic de Manresa

Author: Clara Cirera Castellà

Degree: Geography, Environmental Management and Spatial Planning

Abstract: The aim of this Final Degree Project is to demonstrate how the needs and experiences of women in public spaces as a single group are not real and that these opinions, experiences and perspectives of public space depend on the social categories in which each woman identifies herself, as well as the use employed and the knowledge she has of the space. However, we also wanted to show how the physical characteristics (lighting, state of the buildings, cleanliness, accessibility…) and social characteristics (established relationships, activities carried out, daily life, bonds…) of the Old Quarter of Manresa affect women’s experiences.

Les dones en els videojocs: videojocs feministes pel canvi social  

Author: Laura López Vollmer  

Degree: Socio-Cultural Gender Studies  

Abstract: This research-oriented TFG responds to the problem of masculinisation of videogames, and the digital gender violence that is perpetuated in them. Its main objective is to demonstrate (and vindicate) how videogames can become a feminist pedagogical tool that leads to social change. This is why a cultural artefact will be produced in the form of a gamer guide, which will justify the relevance of the study: to fill the knowledge gap that exists around this topic, covering parallelly the gap of empowered female references (both in front and behind the screen) that children, especially girls and non-binary children, lack.

 

Las ficciones contractuales del sexo. Una argumentación a favor de la despenalización del trabajo sexual a través de la teoría política del republicanismo

Author: Celia Fernández Ordoñez

Degree: Philosophy

Abstract: The essay argues for the decriminalisation of sex work and its regulation through labour law in order to mitigate the precariousness and exploitation of sex workers. The main legal models and the specific intervention policies derived from them, as well as their practical consequences, are presented. Also, adopting a republican perspective, it explores the specificity of the form of exploitation and its causes, and explores the possibility of a form of freedom through the interference of the law and the guarantee of certain material conditions.

 

Lights and Shadows in Disney-Pixar’s Luca: From Normalizing Tender Masculinity to Perpetuating Heteronormativity in Children’s Cinema  

Author: Lisandra Muñoz Cabrera  

Degree: English and French  

Abstract: The Walt Disney Company is a world leader in mainstream culture for adults and, particularly, children, hence the relevance of studying how its films portray gender. In the last few years, the audience has witnessed that male protagonists have gradually become more vulnerable and sensitive. In this dissertation, I analyse how masculinity is portrayed in Pixar's film Luca (2021), principally through the two main characters, Luca and Alberto. I suggest that they provide the audience with a tender view of masculinity. Instead of showing stereotypical traits related to young boys, they connect emotionally, openly show their feelings, and support each other, contributing to dismantling prejudices about intimacy between boys.

Identitats a la cruïlla: les cançons emblemàtiques en el col·lectiu queer valencià  

Author: Alejandro Arribas Miranzo   

Degree: Musicology

Abstract: This paper proposes an approach to the confluence, from an intersectional point of view, of two axes of identity inequality, Valencianess and queerness, seeking to study their manifestation in music. To do so, the historical and social conditioning factors that explain the situation of both dissidences in the current Valencian Country are explained, and three song are analysed, chosen for their emblematic nature regarding these communities and claims, in order to find the elements that structure their character as emblematic songs for the Valencian queer community.

Associació entre ressonància magnètica nuclear cardíaca i clínica en patologia isquèmica miocàrdica en dones: a la recerca de nous protocols  

 Author: Nicolás Umpiérrez Mayor  

Degree: Medicine

Abstract: In this paper we show that, although cardiovascular disease and, particularly, ischaemic heart disease, is one of the main causes of death among women in industrialised countries, they are under-represented in cardiology studies. In addition, the atypical clinical presentation in woman leads to poorer recognition of the pathology both by women and the health professionals who care for them. This inexorably leads to a worse prognosis of ischaemic heart disease in the female population.

 

Experiència de les dones d'edat avançada amb una mort fetal tardana: un estudi fenomenològic.

Cíborg feminista o cíborg feminitzat. Ciberautoetnografia sobre la identitat, internet i gènere  

Author: Ada Claver Díaz  

Degree: Psychology

Abstract: I’m Ada, I’m twenty-three years old and I’m a cyborg. Yes, you read that right. I am a cyborg and you probably are too. I communicate with people beyond the space I am in, instants become permanent photographed in one click, and in another I can buy a hamburger, a vibrator or a bicycle wheel and have it delivered to my home. In the early nineties, Donna Haraway (1991) in the Cyborg Manifesto uses the cyborg as a metaphor for the possibilities of the internet to suggest a way out of the labyrinth of dualisms in which we have explained our bodies to inhabit a feminist world. It explores the relationship between identity, the internet and women.

 

FACULTY OF TRANSLATION AND INTERPRETING

The translations and recreations of 'Torikaebaya monogatari'  

Author: Rafael Montón Gómez   

Degree: Translation and Interpreting

 Abstract: 'Torikaebaya monogatari' is a late Heian court tale about a half-sister and a half-brother who exhibit a behaviour typically associated with that of the opposite gender. After they switch genders and climb up the ranks of the imperial court, they are forced to revert back to their original genders. While the tale was well received by coetaneous audiences, judged by its critique in the 'Mumyzshi', Meiji scholars deprecated it on moral grounds. This paper attempts to detect the main areas of contention between the selected texts, which undoubtedly lie in their particular depiction of sex, gender and sexuality, and construct an understanding of the Torikaebaya as a cultural artefact in a global society.  

 

Un «entreacte» de fronteres transcendibles: Anàlisi sobre gènere i sexualitat al teatre Takarazuka  

Author: Aurora Gargallo Pla  

Degree: East Asian Studies  

Abstract: Starting from an initial interest in the enigmatic aura of the otokoyaku, an immersion into the fantasy world of Takarazuka Revue and its gender play starring the otokoyaku (male-role actresses) and musumeyaku (female-role actresses) is proposed. Drawing on extensive documentation that has combined sources on theatre with classics of gender thought, it considers whether the markedly binary roles of the musical works leave room for some kind of transgression, both narrative and extratextual, of gender discourses.

Seguretat urbana amb perspectiva de gènere. Localització i identificació d'espais insegurs per a les dones a la ciutat de Mataró 

Author: Natalia Esteve Fernández 

Degree: Management of Smart and Sustainable Cities

Abstract: The project consists of carrying out a study on urban safety from a gender perspective, focusing on women in the city of Mataró. The perception of insecurity and fear felt by Mataró's women will be evaluated following a specific methodology known as an exploratory march. In addition, a series of interviews will be carried out in order to gain a deeper understanding of the experiences, sensations and perceptions felt by the women during their night-time journeys. In this way, the results of both methodologies will be analysed in order to be aware of the areas studied that accentuate the feeling of insecurity and the characteristics of the environment. A map will also be drawn up to visualise, in quantitative terms, the degree of insecurity perceived by the mataronines in each part of the area studied.

Consideracions de Gènere: Monitor de Salut Prenatal 

Author: Antoni Parramon Naranjo 

Degree: Computer Engineering

Abstract: Considering the increased concern on gender bias in software developments, international standards such as the IEEE P7003 have emerged. Awareness has been raised from different social and academic fields about the damage that can be caused due to poor software design or development due to its bias, as is the case with some artificial intelligence and big data algorithms, especially those related to health care or the justice system. However, there is life beyond software development and that is why this paper focuses on the importance of hardware design and, among other things, pointing out the problems that arise from the lack of a gender perspective in working groups and the IT sector.

Grete Hermann i els Fonaments de la Mecànica Quàntica 

Author: Gal·la Mora i Abelaira 

Degree: Physics

Abstract: Grete Hermann’s (1901-1984) recognition for her contributions to the foundations of quantum mechanics has grown in recent years. Hermann studied transcendental idealism as an assistant to the neo-Kantian philosopher Leonard Nelson (1882-1927). This philosophical ideology made her interested in the latest developments in quantum theory, as they questioned the law of causality. Hermann analysed the reference texts of quantum mechanics with the initial aim of proving that the formalism could admit hidden variables in a way that preserved causality. This paper studies Hermann’s refutation of von Neumann’s proof, and puts forward different interpretations of this proof. It also presents the evolution of Hermann’s conception of causality, which is the common thread of her contribution to physics.

Análisis de la representación del lesbianismo desde una perspectiva feminista en la trama Luimelia en "Amar es para siempre" y en su "spin-off" "#Luimelia" 

Author: Sara Castillo Hidalgo 

Degree: Advertising and Public Relations

Abstract: The feminist movement and LGTB+ claims have evolved over the years, but we continue to live in a heteropatriarchal system. This has been transferred to fictions, which perpetuates social imaginaries and, consequently, television has become the media of construction and transmission of models for society. Therefore, the objective of the work is to analyse and compare the representation of the lesbian plot of the soap opera Amar es para siempre (based on the 70s) and its spin-off #Luimelia (based on the 2020-21) to verify if there has been an evolution and how it has been.

Les sexualitats i l’educació primària: un estudi de cas d’una escola de Terrassa 

Author: Ana Vilar i Caldero 

Degree: Primary Education

Abstract: The aim of this work is to observe and analyse how sexualities are experienced in the school environment; and to know if the environment encourages the students to talk about sexuality, gender identity and sexual orientation. To do so, a focus group dynamic was carried out, the headmistress of a preschool and primary school was interviewed, and a fifth-grade primary classroom was observed. This allowed us to see that the teachers are under-trained in sex education, and this can lead to students receiving little or poor-quality education in sexuality. We also observed how gender stereotypes and gender roles are present in the school context, and how the impact of teachers is detrimental to the self-esteem of children who identify with the female gender.

Efectes socials de les polítiques sobre prostitució en les treballadores sexuals a l'estat espanyol 

Author: Talia Martínez Pérez 

Degree: Political Science and Public Management

Abstract: The aim of this work is to show the social effects that the regulation of prostitution in Spain has on sex workers, especially on migrant women, who make up the majority. In addition, it will explain why all traditional ideological models violate sex worker’s rights and how and why the current development of public policies on prostitution is ineffective in providing an appropriate regulatory framework for prostitution. The research methodology of the study is theoretical. The study was carried out, on the one hand, on the basis of an analysis of the legal framework that regulates the situation of sex workers in Spain, consisting mainly of the legislation that regulates prostitution itself and the law on foreigners. In addition, the social effects of these policies have been analysed on the basis of a research bibliographic review on the subject.

L’arqueologia de Corea: una exploració des de la perspectiva de gènere

Author: Queralt López Saloni   

Degree: Archaeology

Abstract: Gender perspective is necessary for a good comprehension of both current and past societies, but does it apply to everywhere? Is the concept of gender the same outside the West? This work will try to shed light to these questions, by looking at the case of East Asian archaeology and taking an approach based on research on the Silla kingdom, in Korea. At the same time, the study process used will be described, bringing to the table the problems we encounter when the focus is outside the West: the accessibility of sources of information will be analysed, as well as the awareness of the Spanish State to learn and educate itself about the rest of archaeologies, outside the European and Anglo-Saxon world.

 

Anihilating Vanity: attempting to light the match in George Eliot’s Silly Novels by Lady Novelists (1856)   

Author: Clara Sánchez Artero   

Degree: English Studies

Abstract: Throughout history, women have endured unfair treatment, gender and inequality by virtue of their feminine sex. Precisely during the Eighteenth Century, women novelists were habitually regarded as unable to be writers, but just as women who wrote. In consequence, their Works were not taken into account, and they were judged outside of literature, who was written essentially by men. George Eliot is the pen name of Victorian novelist Mary Ann Evans, an open and strong-minded woman who wrote about social topics with a realist insight. In spite of being a remarkable writer, her harshness towards her fellow women novelists are questioned. This Final Degree Project (TFG) will define Eliot’s concept of ‘silly’ while identifying her main criticisms and her notion of ideal novel.

 

Poison damsels: una aproximació històrica i literària a les dones verinoses, enverinades i enverinadores   

Author: Mar Esteban Rius   

Degree: English and Classical Studies 

Abstract: The following research tackles the origins and development of the relationship between women and poison, both in history and in literature. It aims to generate a comprehensive analysis of the literary figure of the Poison Damsel as a poisonous, poisoned and poisoning woman. Firstly, the connection between femininity and the use of natural remedies – used both to heal and to kill – will be analysed, focusing on three main chronotopic contexts: Ancient India and Rome and the British Victorian period. Ensuingly, John Todhunter’s play The Poison-Flower will be analysed as a case of study in order to determine both the perpetuation and the reinterpretation of the Poison Damsel.

Prostitución, violencia y resistencia en Las Malas de Camila Sosa Villada y El lugar sin límites de José Donoso   

Author: Aida Plata Pérez   

Degree: English and Spanish Studies

Abstract: The aim is to analyse the prostitution spaces presented in the Camila Sosa Bad Girls and José Donoso’s Hell Has No Limits to regard how prostitution is presented as both a space of resistance and violence for the Latin-American travesti subjectivities. To do so, theoretical notions on gender by Teresa de Lauretis, Kimberé Crenshaw and Judith Butler have bee used. Moreover, the idea of travesticide, the employment situation of travestis in Latin America, travesty subjectivity and legislation on self-perceived gender identity in the continent will be explored. All this will be useful to see how literature helps us understand the realities silenced by the official discourse on travestis.

Cuirizando la cuestión trans. Sobre la corporalidad transfemmenina. Marikonizando. Bollerizando. Feminizando. Materializando.   

Author: Carmen Joa Peralbo Bruno   

Degree: Gender Studies

Abstract: This critical monograph points out the problematisation of the trans question from ‘queerisation’ transfeminine and queer bodies. This work is a nod to Susan Stryker’s formulation in Transgender Feminism. Queering the woman question where the need for the trans phenomenon and its contributions to this present third wave of feminism is presented. Through this proposal, from the specific context of Spain in the 21^st century, ‘queering oneself’ deals with a bet on the strategies of queer disidentification from the materialist conceptions of Wittig, Deleuze and Stryker together with the approaches of Karen Barad’s neo-materialist theory. Moreover, a chapter is devoted to the relationship between the neo-capitalist model, based on the criticisms made by Nancy Fraser, and the construction of trans and queer bodies within it. With all this in mind, a systematic bibliographic review of the different authors is done using two definitions of transfeminity, one mainstream: Wikipedia Spain and the other authorised by the medical discourse: the DSM-V. Thus, they are presented with the aim of reviewing the phenomenon of transfeminity from a material point of view, highlighting the [hetero]normative dimension that it entails.

La mujer en el cartel de la Belle Epóque   

Author: Esther López Sanchez   

Degree: Art History 

Abstract: This research is based on the role of women in Belle Époque posters (Jules Chéret, Toulouse Lautrec and Alphonse Mucha), focusing locally on Ramón Casas. The representations of this medium were versatile and varied depending on the target audience and what was being advertised: a cabaret or a café-concert, a play, alcoholic beverages or tobacco, locomotion and food. Therefore, the most representative typologies of posters are dealt with, in which iconographies of the “deviant” woman or femme fatale and the “ideal” woman are differentiated, with a great influence on the arts from the Renaissance to the Pre-Raphaelites, the decorative arts…).

La realitat trans i la seva relació amb el sistema sanitari: la carència educativa en perspectiva de gènere a la professió mèdica   

Author: Rita Martínez Camacho   

Degree: Medicine

Abstract: Between the definitions of ‘gender’ and ‘sex’ there is a border space where trans people exist. The debate arises, then, over what always has been considered unquestionable: the differentiated masculine and feminine diagram according to the cultural definition (gender), but there is also room for the biological aspect (sex). In this research the aim is to research the opinion and level of knowledge of the health professionals and medicine students regarding gender, transsexuality and the LGTBIAQ+ community in general. In addition, it is intended to study the deficiencies of the health system that trans users identify according to the experiences they have had in this area. This way, an investigation is to be carried out into whether there is an educational deficiency regarding to the deficient medical perspective of a trans patient.

 

Vivències de les persones LGTBIQ+ majors de 65 anys en el procés d'Atenció Primària

Author: Cecilia Raij Johansen

Degree: Nursing

Abstract: the LGTBIQ+ elderly is a vulnerable community, affected by constant discrimination and invisibility. This is reflected in primary care, where care is not personalized and inclusive enough. They have specific needs that are not covered, and this fact has a negative impact on their health. To analyse this phenomenon, it is essential to contact the affected persons and to obtain their experiences, observing what relationship they have with the nurses and whether that identify in them sources of difficulty for the community’s health. A qualitative study with a descriptive phenomenological design, through a semistructured individual interview, is proposed.

Deprimidas, Culpables y Medicalizadas. La transformación de la desigualdad en Psicología a través del abordaje de la depresión desde la perspectiva de género 

Author: Núria Martín Alcázar 

Degree: Psychology

Abstract: From a feminist perspective, depression is included in the concept of gender malaise and it is considered that the greater prevalence of depression in women is due to the situation of inequality and subordination in which they find themselves, their own role and identity, the socially established mandates of femininity and masculinity, the cultural construction of depression and the psychopathologisation of natural processes. By incorporating a gender perspective into the biopsychomedical model, depression will be approached in an intersectional and contextualised way and women will not be seen as being to blame for their malaise. Nor will they be pahologised and consequently medicalised, thus avoiding the side effects of pharmacological and electroconvulsive therapies, the passive role of women in their recovery and the stigmas associated with their roles and identity, reducing the discomfort this causes and generating a greater understanding of their needs.

Monstruosidad femenina en la cinematografía japonesa: el caso de "Audition" 

Author: Irene Pereira Moral 

Degree: East Asian Studies

Abstract: The present work explores the notion of feminine monstrosity present in Japanese horror cinema through the movie Audition. The study is conducted with a gender perspective, walking through the male imagery of monstrosity, both western and Japanese, and exposing how such conception perpetuates control over women's identity and sexuality. Furthermore, the Japan of the decade in which the film was produced is sociologically contextualized in order to understand that it responds to the fears of Japanese men in the face of the crisis of traditional values. Finally, a cinematographic and cultural analysis of the film is made to determine if a feminist reading of the work in question can be inferred, despite having been produced through a male gaze.

Análisis de una problemática traductora y propuesta de una traducción con perspectiva de género. El caso de "Revolting Prostitutes: The Flight for sex workers' rights" 

Author: Laura Gomez Membrado 

Degree: Translation and Interpreting

Abstract: Inclusive language is a highly controversial topic nowadays, because it involves changing the stablished rules and, in consequence, changing the way we talk and think. This research aims to find out what it means to translate with a gender perspective. Moreover, it also aims to research how strong the patriarchal charge in language is. With these objectives in mind, an extensive literature on the main topic (translation with a gender and feminist perspective) will be provided, and, subsequently, specific terminology related to the field of sex work that poses a significant possible translation challenge will be analysed, studying possible translation alternatives from a gender perspective.

The Representation of Male Character in Judith Drake’s An Essay in Defence of the Female Sex (1696): An Educational Proposal

Author: Nausica Vicens Salomon

Degree: English Studies

Abstract: This TFG is focused on contends that the intellectual capacity of women is equal to that of men. Through her observations on male's character, Drake offers a full psychological portrait of men through ridiculous and satirical figures. The way she depicts the “follies” of male behaviour allows her to corroborate the faults of the opposite sex and, hence, describe her own proposal for a solution. On the other hand, she believes that a re-education of men is needed in order to change the balance of power, especially through a positive female influence.

Abstract: The minor role of women with HIV, both in scientific research and in advertising campaigns, as well as the role of men in HIV as the main patient of the disease and the lack of medical protocols that include both genders —the female and the male— leads us to question the efficacy of the healthcare services provided to these women. In order to interpret the experiences of women with HIV regarding the care provided by health personnel in the hospital field and primary care centres in Barcelona, it is proposed to carry out a qualitative hermeneutical phenomenological study.

Joves i prostitució: el paper de la masculinitat en el sexe de pagament

Author: Laura Ruiz Sarrión

Degree: Criminology

Abstract: In recent years there has been an increase in the consumption of commercial sex among young men, who have been raised in a context of sexual liberation and pursuit of gender equality. On this basis, the present investigation intends to analyse the relationship between the consumption of heterosexual prostitution amongst young people and the social conception of masculinity, the search of which has been understood as a motivation to pay for sex. Thus, after determining the legal framework and the scale of the phenomenon in Spain, we have deepened in the concept of hegemonic masculinity and we have exposed different studies regarding men who paid for sex, as well as their motivations.

La cura com a bé comú: L’experiència de La Glacera, un grup de criança compartida

Degree: Social and Cultural Anthropology

Abstract: This paper analyses the experience of a shared parenting group in Barcelona. These frames of reference represent a communal alternative to the system of social organisation of care, hegemonically based on the sexual division of labour and underpinned by the capital model of unequal social production and reproduction. Based on several ethnographic fieldwork forays between 2017 and 2019, it is examined how this collective model of parenting moves towards the democratisation of care, theorised by feminist economics, and how it is moulded within social movements defending the urban commons.

Com construir una dona tràgica: mort i maternitat a la tradició teatral occidental

Author: Laura Rubio Garriga

Degree: English and Spanish

Abstract: The aim of this paper is to analyse the representation of female characters in the western dramatic canon, and to do so along two axes: motherhood and death. On the one hand, motherhood as a defining characteristic of the role of women in society, as a confirming fact of womanhood. On the other, death, as the only way out in tradition for those women who subvert or attempt to subvert the canonical type of femininity. The existence of female characters who create referents, who make it possible in the imaginary to dissent from what is expected of them, cannot be allowed to exist.

La violencia contra las mujeres en la Grecia clásica

Author: Marina Prior Pulido

Degree: History

Abstract: From the academic world, studies on the period traditionally known as Classical Greece (5^th and 4^th centuries BC) have been abundant; the phenomenon of Athenian democracy is one of the events that mark this era and has generated the construction, by historiography, of an ideal around these centuries and, specifically, around the history of the polis of Athens. With all this and the tendencies of traditional historiography to exclude women from historical studies, there are few cases in which violence against women is a central theme of historical analysis.

Abstract: “Cuerpo, género, enfermedad” aims to create a reflective thread about our perception of illness and its social repercussions. This research refers to the problematisation of the sick body and painful identities. In short, through the analysis of the novel Nervous System by the Chilean author Lina Meruane, the theoretical framework and the presumed reality shock of the present research —presented in the appendixes— are embedded in a reflexive journey around aspects such as gender, corporeality and, finally, the impact that illness has on our lives.

Cuerpos impúdicos: Instagram y feminismo

Author: Ailen Abdala Vadillo

Degree: Spanish Language and Literature

Abstract: Identities can be glimpsed among the selfies on Instagram. And with them we discover that, in fact, the app offers a space for subaltern voices to express themselves. A new feminist strategy can be noted: to publish oneself partially or totally naked in order to empower oneself. But, based on the fact that they are the same tools patriarchy uses to objectify female bodies, is this possible?

Electra: submissió o empoderament: Anàlisi de l’arquetip de feminitat del personatge d’Electra segons les interpretacions operístiques de R. Strauss, J. Soler i M.D.Levy

Author: Ona Alonso Romer

Degree: Musicology

Abstract: This project proposes an analysis of the femininity archetype that the character of Electra embodies in the opera’s world during the late modern period. With the purpose of understanding how the musical language influences and reflects this feminine model. To come to the conclusions, an analysis and a comparison will be carried out between the opera Elektra (1909) by Richard Strauss, based on the Sophocles tragedy; the opera Agamèmnon (1960) by Josep Soler with Seneca’s texts; and the opera Mourning Becomes Electra (1967) by Marvin David Levi, based on the homonymous play by Eugene Gladstone O’Neil.

El VIH des d’una perspectiva de gènere. Vivències de dones amb VIH respecte l’atenció sanitària rebuda

Author: Júlia Sebastià Martínez

Degree: Nursing

Abstract: The minor role of women with HIV, both in scientific research and in advertising campaigns, as well as the role of men in HIV as the main patient of the disease and the lack of medical protocols that include both genders —the female and the male— leads us to question the efficacy of the healthcare services provided to these women. In order to interpret the experiences of women with HIV regarding the care provided by health personnel in the hospital field and primary care centres in Barcelona, it is proposed to carry out a qualitative hermeneutical phenomenological study.

Disseny d'una eina d'anàlisi prosocial de protocols per l'atenció en logopèdia d'infants d'entre 0 i 6 anys víctimes de violència masclista

Author: Anna Lagares Bustamante

Degree: Speech Therapy

Abstract: Gender violence is a social and sanitary problem. The speech therapists, like other sanitary professionals, have to meet and apply the protocols of intervention when attending cases, of children witness and gender violence victims. Nevertheless, they do not always have the suitable tools to intervene properly, because they are not professionals that work first line with gender violence but deal with it in an indirect way.

Violencia patriarcal en mujeres y hombres trans: cambios de perspectiva durante y después de la transición

Author: Laura Casado Espinosa

Degree: Psychology

Abstract: Gender, despite being a social, cultural and constructed concept, determines to a large extent the way in which a person will be treated in society. For this reason, the following research has as a main objective to analyse the different perspectives of transgender people regarding gender violence. Given that during a period of their lives they have been socialised with one gender, experiencing the oppressions and privileges associated with it, and have subsequently begun to be read with another gender, thus, changing their experiences.

Perspectiva de gènere en la professió veterinària

Author: Mireia Carreras Ruiz

Degree: Veterinary Medicine

Abstract: We live in a sexist society, where we still associate “doctor” with men and “nurse” with women, and where we still find it difficult to think that women constitute half the population. However, in veterinary medicine this is no longer the case. Most vets nowadays are women. How have we come to transform a profession completely dominated by men to one where finding a woman it is now the standard? How does being a part of such demanding profession affect our day-to-day lives?

Degree: English and French Studies
Summary: Mary Braddon's "Lady Audley's Secret" (1862) was an immediate success and a source of controversy in Victorian society, because it defied gender roles and social standards via a female character who is morally ambiguous and groundbreaking. This project proves that the unexpected and apparently happy ending serves to question the main character's guilt, who is forced to carry out extreme actions in order to survive in the society of the era.

Mujeres que luchan en la arena
Author: Lucía Ponce Cerezo
Degree: Archaeology
Summary: When we think about the ancient shows in Rome we came up with fighting gladiators, strong men who fought to entertaint the public. However, were there only men among the people battling at the amphitheatres' arenas? There is little talk on the participation of female gladiators. From classical authors we can get an idea about these women but it is not enough information to establish that they really existed. By analysing a series of found remains, such as inscriptions, reliefs or dowries found in many tombs, it is possible to confirm the existence of these women.
