El micromachismo como hilo transversal en relatos de vida de tres generaciones de mujeres de la misma familia : un análisis para resignificar las micro violencias normalizadas. Somos vulneradas, no vulnerables

Abstract

Considering naturalness of human bounding as satisfier to identity, participation, protection, and affection needs, it becomes mandatory to question and reevaluate some of the implicit dynamics within heterosexual couple relationships which are naturally and imperceptibly violent. This subtle violence has been listed as micromachism and in its detection lies stopping and resisting the rise of violence within the bond. Through the analysis of life stories of three women from three generations from the same family, transversal aspects such as micromachism are analyzed, elements of personal power like self-worth, self-perception, and self-knowledge are categorized, in addition to contrasting bonding and care patterns assumed by family, society, and culture. The findings after this treatment of life stories are harmful prejudices about men and affectionateness, besides certain feminine behaviors assumed by attachment or guilty fear that turn out to be passive. Finally, crucial elements to create an illustrated story where micromachism is visible are synthesized. Given that the identification of micromachism is the first step to dismantling these naturalized violent acts, this project proposes a resignification of what is understood under the traditional heterosexual norms as a relationship. According to this, this project suggests egalitarian bounding through the balance of agreements as well as self-care as proposal to create healthier and fairer relationships.
