‘¡Industrial, colegio de varones!’: una mirada exploratoria en clave de género a las prácticas discursivas de estudiantes de una escuela técnica en Bariloche

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to analyze the uses and representations found in the speech of students attending Colegio Tecnológico del Sur regarding language with a gender perspective, from the point of view of sociocultural pragmatics and queer linguistics. In order to do this, we studied the linguistic constructions of masculinity and the affiliative strategies present in their interactions. The research was carried out in a linguistic corpus formed by the answers to a survey responded by 49 students belonging to all grades of Colegio Tecnológico del Sur (six grades in total). In our analysis, we explore the representations of comprehensive sexuality education among the students, we inquire about their opinions regarding inclusive language from the perspective of user and non-user students, and, to conclude, we examine the use of certain insulting or insultive vocatives, and the affiliation strategies behind these uses.
