Mujeres al desnudo: Relatos femeninos desde la resiliencia

Abstract

Women in the Nude: Female stories from the resilience' is a book of stories and photographs that emerges from women’s circles and show the process of resilience, through voices of women who relate experiences of pain and self-care, and images that speak for themselves of the capacities of female empowerment that are woven into everyday life; the process of creation of the book presented here brings reflections, theoretical and intuitive, that constitute a channel of comprehension and appropriation of resilience allowing in turn, to broaden the notion of human development. The present report gives an account of the theoretical and methodological path of the object of creation of this process of formative research: a book that collects feminine experiences that, according to each case, were devices of pain or healing, or the detonated in both results. The narrations arise in a circular scenario of female complicity where diverse women shared (we shared) tears, joy, scars, ruptures, remedies and images of body and soul in order to resignify stories and life stories. The stories and images that - soridariably - are shown in this book want to reach other women to, if possible, generate empathy and give them the message that, like them, they can also heal. To clarify, this work doesn´t seek to victimize women, on the contrary, it pays homage to their strength and resilience; On the other hand, it doesn´t seek to put man as an offender, we understand that pain and difficult situations are inherent to the human being, in fact, the possibility of carrying out this work with men, making visible new masculinities and demystifying topics such as emotionality and affectivity is manifested conferred exclusively to women.
