This article addresses what happens when a law with a feminist perspective is implemented in a predominantly patriarchal institution. The main aim of this paper is to approach women’s experiences in the Spanish criminal justice system, analysed as a technology of power producing women’s subjectivities, and focusing on their agency. We used a qualitative methodology with participant observation (24 sessions) and in-depth interviews with professionals working with gender violence (17) and women who reported gender violence by their heterosexual partner (11 individual and 1 group). We analysed data with the qualitative analysis software Atlas.ti. The results focus on subjective processes and agency among reporting violence, the expedited trial, protection and restraining orders, and probation.

Se realizaron ocho relatos de vida con jóvenes de entre 25 y 35 años (3 chicos y 5 chicas), centrados en sus relaciones erótico-afectivas. Se recurrió al análisis del discurso, concretamente al de los repertorios interpretativos. Esta aproximación ha permitido identificar, caracterizar y analizar el repertorio interpretativo del amor romántico cuyos resultados orientan las formas adecuadas de sentir, favoreciendo las relaciones heterosexuales, románticas, monógamas y duraderas, que constituyen la base del patriarcado, generando las condiciones de posibilidad para la aparición y mantenimiento de la violencia machista.

A partir de la elaboración de relatos de vida de mujeres estudiantes de informática, diseñamos y representamos una obra de teatro-foro en institutos de secundaria, cuyo contenido recreaba las vivencias de las chicas con la tecnología. Las situaciones conflictivas se transformaron, con el fin de superar los problemas planteados y de empoderar a las participantes. Utilizando el teatro social, mostramos cómo se pueden ensayar nuevas formas de acción ante situaciones de opresión, criticamos las asociaciones establecidas entre género y tecnología y formulamos recomendaciones para favorecer que las mujeres opten por el ámbito tecnológico.

From Arising out of the elaboration of life stories of women studying computer science, we designed and performed a social theatre play in high schools that recreated the experiences of girls with technology. The conflicting situations were transformed in order to overcome the problems presented and to empower participating girls. We show how to test new forms of acting using Social Theatre in front of oppressing situations; we criticise the current associations between gender and technology ; and, we formulate recommendations to encourage women to opt for ta technological career path.

It speaks of a transitionbetween themes, approaches and places. I began researching on violence and ended up researching on love. Ibegan researching in/on the court and ended up researching in/on/through social theater. It is a dance that is agoing back and forth. Coming and going. It has an address but may return, as a circle. Vicious circle. Virtuouscircle... a little of each.Throughout the articles of this compendium I have shown an approach to the Law 1/2004. The law began with astrong emphasis on the legal and criminal matters, and then addressing prevention and other areas beyond whatthey usually do by law. And so did I, beginning the research within the criminal legal aspects of the Law 1/2004, toend up with proposals for the prevention of gender violence. And as a way to close the whole process, I finishedwith an invitation to rethink the epistemology to address this phenomenon.

ABSTRACT: We present an Action Research program whose aim was to promote the skilful use of technology in young women to reduce the male dominance found in this sector. From Arising out of the elaboration of life stories of women studying computer science, we designed and performed a social theatre play in high schools that recreated the experiences of girls with technology. The conflicting situations were transformed in order to overcome the problems presented and to empower participating girls. We show how to test new forms of acting using Social Theatre in front of oppressing situations; we criticise the current associations between gender and technology ; and, we formulate recommendations to encourage women to opt for ta technological career path.
