    Feeling good mother/father and other regimes.LGBT people’s emotions and parenthoods
    (Universidad de Murcia. Servicio de Publicaciones, 2024) Alday-Mondaca, Carolina; Castañeda-Rentería, Liliana; Lay-Lisboa, Siu
    In this article, we analyze and discuss the emotional dimension that LGBT people associate with the exercise of motherhood/fatherhood. Based on feminist theory and subalternity and intersectionality theory contributions, we applied the biographical method to a dialogical-recursive investigative process. Participants were 21 LGBT people and key informants, belonging to academia, psychotherapy, politics, and diversity activism, over 18 years old, from Chile (16), Mexico (4), and Colombia (1); the partici-pantswere people between 21 and 57 years of age, with a mean age of 37.19 and a standard deviation of 10.03. We found emotions related to the social mandate to "be a good mother/father"; emotions resulting from social situations such as discrimination and legal lack of protection, and emotions derived from the parenting experience. We conclude that repression/resistance dynamics go through the bodies, and emotions are fundamental to this incarnation. Given this, the development of research focused on emotion can open ways to achieve more just societies through cultivated sentimentality, societies aware of the type of bonds that keep us as worthy members of a society and the performative effect of our emo-tional demands.

    La paternidad como ejercicio de la masculinidad igualitaria
    (Universidad de Murcia, Servicio de Publicaciones, 2022) López Marín, Tomás Israel
    Elobjetivo de este artículo es entender como elejercicio de la paternidad en base a la igualdad supone la oportunidad para la deconstrucción de la masculinidad hegemónica tradicional hacia un modelo de masculinidad igualitaria.Desde la propuesta de las masculinidades igualitarias, la paternidad sepresenta como la oportunidad de reflexionar sobre la idea de masculinidad que venimos aprendiendo de manera tradicional, para poder desaprender los roles de género adquiridos durante toda la vida. Es por ello quela paternidad igualitaria supone un modelo de resistencia hacia las ideas tradicionales de lo que significa ser un hombre, potenciando nuevas masculinidades igualitarias.
