Abstract

This paper focuses on sharing methodologies implemented in the classroom setting to identify gender-based violence (GBV). Rooted in Feminist Geography, these methodologies include focus groups and counter-cartographies that centre the concept of cuerpo-territorio as a scale of analysis in order to understand structural violence in our spaces of production and reproduction, how it is embodied and how we can collectively transform violent spatialities. We argue that collective knowledge as a means of preventing GBV can be produced through concepts taught within the subject of Geography. The locations of the high schools involved include Mexico City, San Luis Potosi and Oaxaca. = Se comparte la experiencia de implementar metodologías para identificar violencias de género a través de la enseñanza de la materia de Geografía a nivel bachillerato en la Ciudad de Mexico, San Luis Potosí y Oaxaca. Estas metodologías incluyen grupos focales y contra-cartografías que centran el concepto de cuerpo-territorio como escala de análisis para entender la violencia estructural en nuestros espacios de producción y reproducción, cómo se vive en el cuerpo y cómo podemos transformar espacialidades violentas. Argumentamos que el conocimiento colectivo como herramienta para prevenir la violencia de género se puede producir con conceptos que se enseñan en la Geografía.
