This year has been marked by the feminist mobilizations of students from a series of universities throughout the country. In line with the massive complaints of situations of sexual harassment and the demands for a non-sexist education, the movement was characterized by the public signaling of the most diverse forms of gender violence to which Chilean women face via to publish testimonies and share individual experiences at a collective level in separatist assemblies and women’s circles.
In this article we will analyze the experiential discourses on gender violence during the mobilizations of the feminist movement of May 2018, collected through participant observation. The analysis will be done mainly through psychoanalytic categories, under a feminist perspective. One of the central hypotheses revolves around the notion of resistance as a political act against certain forms of symbolic violence and gender that occur in academic spaces. Through this analysis, it is expected to place clinical psychology with respect to gender violence and the possibilities of social transformation.
