Little Inflexions: Constructing and Artistic Discourse about Gender-based Violence in Secondary Education

Abstract

This project addressed gender-based violence and developed a critical education in adolescent students through an artistic action. The entire project was based in the concept of adiaphoron, coined by Bauman and Donskis (2013). This concept refers to the passivity of the subject in front of the suffering of other persons. The results of the project are conceptualised through research in art paradigm (Frayling, 1993) and according to the sociology of the gender-based violence. The analysis reveals that despite the youth of the students they developed an informed vision of gender-based violence, enabling consciousness about this reality both in them and in the public of the performance.
