SANCHO, Juana M.; HERNANDEZ, Fernando; HERRAIZ, Fernando  and  VIDIELLA, Judit. Una investigación narrativa en torno al aprendizaje de las masculinidades en la escuela. RMIE [online]. 2009, vol.14, n.43, pp.1155-1189. ISSN 1405-6666.

This study explores the learning of different forms of masculinity by young people from fifteen to twenty years old. The evidence was obtained from in-depth interviews with eighteen young people who represented, from diverse sexual, cultural, family, and corporal situations, different ways of experiencing and moving through masculinity. Through narrative methodology and topical analysis, we addressed one of the interviews' emerging themes: the role of school and relationships among equals in constructing masculinity. Although its importance is recognized, school is simply one context more where individuals, according to their genetics and previous and parallel experiences, establish a type of relation and meaning to allow this construction.

Keywords : young people; sexual differences; sexual stereotypes; masculinity; gender relations; role of school; Spain.
