Resumen
La presente investigación tiene como objetivo explorar la construcción de la identidad
masculina en hombres jóvenes que pertenecen a colectivos de activismo antipatriarcal
en el Perú. Para ello, se realizaron 7 entrevistas semiestructuradas a adultos jóvenes de
20 a 40 años, pertenecientes a dichos colectivos en Lima, Cusco, Chiclayo y Piura. Esta
investigación cualitativa tiene un diseño narrativo, el cual permite explorar la
construcción de la identidad masculina a lo largo de 3 periodos: antes de ingresar al
colectivo, durante el colectivo y en su proyección a futuro. Los resultados muestran que,
en el pasado, los activistas se aproximaron al género y al colectivo a través de vínculos
significativos con mujeres feministas, la influencia de voluntariados, cursos, redes
sociales y sus ganas de cambiar. En el presente, el proceso de deconstrucción genera
temor y culpa, pero también bienestar. Hay avances como la reflexión sobre conductas
nocivas y el establecimiento de relaciones más sanas con hombres y mujeres, y retos
como tensiones con colectivos feministas y acoso por parte de hombres. Asimismo,
rechazan el término “nuevas masculinidades” al carecer de un sentido político y
conciben el trabajo del colectivo como esfuerzos por generar masculinidades igualitarias
y libres de violencia. En el futuro, se proyectan vinculando su activismo con su
profesión, fortaleciendo el trabajo en el colectivo, e implementando una alianza a nivel
nacional. Además, perciben que el contexto político de una segunda vuelta entre
candidatos conservadores es un reto para sus colectivos, constituyendo un periodo de
resistencia para mantener lo alcanzado.
The present research aims to explore the construction of male identity in young men who belong to anti-patriarchal activism collectives in Peru. For this, 7 semi-structured interviews were conducted with young adults between 20 and 40 years old, belonging to these groups in Lima, Cusco, Chiclayo and Piura. This qualitative research has a narrative design, which allows exploring the construction of male identity over 3 periods: before entering the group, during the group and in its future projection. Main results show that, in the past, activists approached gender and the collective through significant ties with feminist women, the influence of volunteering, courses, social networks and their desire to change. In the present, the deconstruction process generates fear and guilt, but also well-being. There are advances such as reflection on harmful behaviors and the establishment of healthier relationships with men and women, and challenges such as tensions with feminist groups and harassment by men. Likewise, they reject the term “new masculinities” as it lacks a political meaning, and they conceive the work of the collective as efforts to generate egalitarian masculinities that are free from violence. In the future, they are projected by linking their activism with their profession, strengthening the work in the collective, and implementing an alliance at the national level. In addition, they perceive that the political context of a second round between conservative candidates is a challenge for their groups, constituting a period of resistance to maintain what has been achieved.
