This article analyzes the representations and experiences of young Americans participating in a program of international education in Buenos Aires, in relation to the models, representations and gender and sexuality issues they observe and live in the local culture from Argentina. With a qualitative methodology, between 2012 and 2014, written and oral testimonies of 50 students (men and women) were collected. These testimonies reflected on topics such as compliments / street harassment, Latinamerican machismo, breastfeeding in public spaces, and body ideals. These issues allowed us to reflect about cultural stereotypes in which gender, ethnicity, class and nationality converge. |
