Abstract

This article sought to foster discussions about violence against women in a heterosexual relationship, as well as getting to know discourses on gender, violence, power, femininities and masculinities from the following groups of some cities in the State of São Paulo: pickers of recyclable material, students of a literacy program and of a vocational college, and finally, health-care professionals. The methodological path laid out also intended to inaugurate a new device for research and social intervention within Psychology: Forum Theatre. Scenes were constructed that depict a protagonist in situation of violence and we asked for people to go up to the stage and to help resolve that impasse. Five presentations were held for groups of 10 to 50 participants of both women and men. During the forum, there were three types of speeches that were named as regulating speeches, counter discourse and legal discours, which showed the positions undertaken by (the) speakers in discursive order. These were analyzed though Foucaultian analysis of speech. In addition, it was possible to conduct trials who took the theatre forum method as aesthetic and political device capable of producing debates, question of truth regimes and emancipate involved subjects.

Este artículo tuvo como objetivo fomentar discusiones sobre la violencia contra las mujeres dentro de una relación amorosa heterosexual, así como conocer discursos sobre género, violencia, poder, feminidades y masculinidades de los siguientes grupos de algunas ciudades del interior paulista: recolectoras y recolectores de material reciclable, alumnas y alumnos de un programa de alfabetización y de un curso de formación profesional y, por fin, profesionales de la salud. La trayectoria metodológica empleada también pretendió inaugurar un nuevo dispositivo de investigación e intervención social dentro de la Psicología: el teatro fórum. Fueron construidas escenas que mostraban a una protagonista en situación de violencia y se pidió que las personas subiesen al escenario y la auxiliasen a resolver aquella situación. Fueron realizadas cinco presentaciones para grupos de 10 a 50 participantes entre mujeres y hombres. Durante el fórum, surgieron tres tipos de discursos que fueron nombrados como discursos reguladores, contra-discursos y discursos jurídicos y que mostraban los posicionamientos asumidos por los (las) hablantes en el orden discursivo. Estos fueron analizados por medio del análisis foucaultiano del discurso. Además de eso, fue posible realizar experimentaciones que tomaron el método del teatro fórum como dispositivo estético y político capaz de producir debates, cuestionar regímenes de verdad y emancipar a los/las sujetos involucrados (as).
