Masculinities, Family Reconfiguration, Hegemony, and Patriarchy in the Context of Post-pandemic in Bogotá and Mexico City

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to continue with a work that has been in process for more than five years and that is a continuation of a line of work on masculinities in Bogotá, D.C., and Mexico City. In this one, an approach is made to dissertations regarding the changes in the family, or rather the new reconfigurations that have occurred throughout the decades, and for this particular case, it is focused on the scenario of the pandemic and the post-pandemic, the above, crossed by the discourses of hegemony and patriarchy that continue to be relevant. The general objective of the research is to determine the reconfiguration of the family, gender violence, hegemony and patriarchy in the post-pandemic context in Bogota and Mexico City. The methodology used for the execution of this research is documentary, through the review of bibliographical sources collected from different media and subsequently classified, reviewed and commented in order to find the necessary information for this text.

            The results obtained evidence how in fact, the traditional families have been deconstructing and what the confinement did was to denote the fractures that this has always had and that during many years the conventional speeches have wanted to ban so that the individuals do not problematize about an institution that clearly has been modified due to the social practices, in this case the pandemic, that managed to make determinant changes and, that are still in evidence at the present time.
