Socialization and subjectivity as critical tools to reflect on gender dynamics

Abstract

Subjectivity and socialization are tools used to reflect on gender dynamics relevant to productive forces. Gender perspective hoists the importance of individual interpretations, and allows the debate concerning the validity of hegemonic theoretical constructions; it also assists to the acknowledgment of corporalities and how socialization could create inequities amongst different groups. Relations are fastened by biocapital, in which human characteristics are merchandise for production and consumption. Gender studies display this inequitative relationship by the reflection and exaltation of those voices that have been historically silenced.
