La infancia y el recuerdo en su relación con el juego y la sexualidad para la producción de una obra con técnicas mixtas

Abstract

The present study is based on the constructivist theory of childhood, where María Marlene Macías Vélez in her book "Children´s toys and the incidence of gender roles", which, through memory, analyzes the main social influences on the choice of children´s toys, around non-sexist language. For the application of the theory, the present project works with the direct participation of a man and a woman from the city of Cuenca; with professions that, according to stereotypes, may require not being common for their gender. Taking his childhood memory as guides and guidelines, considering the main toys to address the concept of gender stereotypes. This research aims to explore perceptions around non-sexist language, considering as a specific objective; to identify sexist manifestations in society, determining the use of toys through the participant's memory and recollection as an influence for the choice of a work profession. It may be common to think that it has an effect on the sexual orientation of children, while others say that it does not matter. Therefore, the investigation and inquiry of professional participants will help to obtain a closer understanding of the subject of study, to reach the conclusion that the toys used in our childhood do not determine a gender decision and choice to do what that an adult loves, rejecting the alternative hypothesis that toys influence the gender roles of boys and girls.
