Abstract

Resumen:Este trabajo muestra cómo se construyen y reproducen determinadas elaboraciones culturales sobre el sexo en nuestras sociedades, particularmente la visión dicotómica de sexo-género en determinados espacios públicos. Se emplearon métodos propios de la Antropología Visual; utilizando la fotografía digital para el examen iconográfico-iconológico de las figuras que indican los WC. La información se recogió aleatoriamente en restaurantes, bares y cafeterías de Andalucía. Las conclusiones muestran que estos iconos reproducen las categorías diferenciadoras de asignación sexo-género presentes en nuestra sociedad, utilizando atributos culturales, corporales y de distribución de roles, con independencia de su configuración pictórica, contenido temático o complejidad técnica.Abstract:This work shows how certain cultural elaborations about sex are constructed and reproduced in our societies, particularly the dichotomous hegemonic vision of sex-gender is spread in certain public spaces. Methods of Visual Anthropology were used; using digital photography to make an iconographic-iconological examination of the figures shown in WCs. Information was collected randomly in restaurants, bars and cafes in Andalusia. The conclusions show that these icons clearly reproduce the male/female differentiating categories of sex-gender assignment present in our society, using cultural, body and role distribution attributes, regardless of their pictorial configuration, thematic content or technical complexity.
