MINGO, Araceli e MORENO, Hortensia. Sexism at the university. Estud. sociol [online]. 2017, vol.35, n.105, pp.571-595. ISSN 2448-6442. https://doi.org/10.24201/es.2017v35n105.1434.
The notion of performativity was introduced to the feminist debate by Judith Butler, who states that gender is a symbolic production conducted through significance acts. In this article, we aim to analyze sexism in daily life at the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM) as a phenomenon occurring in communication processes that are carried out in face to face interactions such as speech acts and performances. The mechanism of production and reproduction of these processes is ritualized staging. We analyze four instances of sexism to see what is at stake in cases aimed at "putting someone into her place", claiming male supremacy or reifying women as sex objects.
