NARRAR LO MASCULINO: Percepciones sobre la masculinidad guayaquileña según un hombre y una mujer en la adultez emergente de nivel socioeconómico bajo en Guayaquil

Abstract

The present study aims to know the most significant stories of a man and a woman of emerging adulthood of low socioeconomic level in the city of Guayaquil, which have marked their perspectives on Guayaquil masculinity. Two semi-structured interviews were carried out with the study subjects to learn their stories about anecdotes from their lives that have defined their current perspective on Guayaquil masculinity. Later, these anecdotes were turned into stories, which were analyzed and compared. It was possible to see a correlation between the socioeconomic background of the study subjects and their perspectives on Guayaquil masculinity, which are of a negative character. However, although both perspectives coincide in many aspects, there is a difference regarding the involvement of the study subjects with these masculinities.
