Resumo Este artigo nasce da inserção da equipe de psicologia numa oficina de dança do Centro de Referência de Mulheres da Maré - Carminha Rosa. Através da exploração e (re)conhecimento corporal proporcionado na oficina, percebemos a possibilidade de o corpo da mulher se desprender de uma identidade e se abrir para novos contornos e possibilidades de ser. Assim, o artigo objetiva pensar as interfaces entre psicologia e dança, refletindo sobre as possíveis contribuições destas às reflexões e produções no campo das políticas de gênero. Para tanto, realizaram-se entrevistas semiestruturadas com participantes da oficina e análise dos relatos da equipe de psicologia que acompanhava a oficina. Ao explorar o corpo como ponto de ancoragem da atuação da psicologia e das lutas pela igualdade de gênero, o texto conclui que a conexão entre psicologia, corpo e gênero representa uma possibilidade promissora tanto no que se refere à liberdade subjetiva quanto à superação das formas de dominação de gênero e que ambas as perspectivas merecem ser mais bem exploradas.

Abstract This article springs from the introduction of the psychology team in a dance workshop of the Maré Women Reference Center - Carminha Rosa. Through exploration and body recognition provided in the workshop, we percieved the possibility to let go of an identity and open up to new dimensions and possibilities of being. Thus, the article aims to think the interfaces between psychology and dance, reflecting on the posible contributions of these reflections and productions in the area of gender policies. For that we have done semi-structured interviews with workshop participants and analysis of the psychology team reports that followed the workshop. By exploring the body as the anchoring point of psychology and gender equality struggles, the text concludes that the connection between psychology, body and gender represents a promising possibility both in terms of subjective freedom and overcoming forms of domination of gender perspective, and these perspectives deserve further exploration.

Objective: This study (which forms part of a broader inquiry) aimed to determine the constructive aspects of the written language to introduce gender-based violence and its articulation in referential frameworks. Special attention was paid to detecting spaces where a gender framework could emerge. Methods: A discourse analysis of contributions to a specific virtual forum was performed using the analytical tool of detecting interpretative repertoires, with the support of the Atlas.ti v.6 program. Results: We identified three main interpretative repertoires. In the first two, "Violence, a social symptom" and "All victims", the gender framework was largely blurred. However, the third repertoire, "The pendulum of gender", was the main route of expression and of confrontation for this framework and was constructed mainly from the criticisms made by many participants of the effects of what is called "positive discrimination". Conclusions: We identified the difficulty of distinguishing the gender framework, in the context of the adoption and development of the law, from the punitive framework. This lack of distinction limits violence against women to an interpersonal problem between the victim and the aggressor, and essentially offers official complaints and their legal outcomes as the solution.

Objetivo: El estudio (parte de una investigación más amplia) tiene como objetivo conocer los aspectos constructivos del lenguaje escrito para presentar la violencia de género y su articulación a marcos referenciales, con especial atención a la detección de espacios donde la emergencia del marco específico de género se hace posible. Métodos: A partir de las participaciones en un foro virtual de discusión se realizó un análisis del discurso recurriendo a la herramienta analítica de detección de repertorios interpretativos, con el apoyo del programa Atlas.ti v.6. Resultados: Tras el análisis de las participaciones en el foro identificamos tres repertorios interpretativos fundamentales. En los dos primeros, «La violencia, un síntoma social» y «Todos víctimas», se difumina en gran medida el marco referencial de género, que sin embargo encuentra su principal vía de expresión y confrontación en el tercero, «El péndulo del género». Éste se construye fundamentalmente a partir la crítica de muchos participantes a los efectos de lo que se llama la «discriminación positiva». Conclusiones: Detectamos la dificultad del marco de género, en el contexto de la promulgación y el desarrollo de la Ley Orgánica, para distinguirse del marco de referencia punitivo, que limita la violencia contra las mujeres a un problema interpersonal entre la víctima y el agresor, y ofrece esencialmente la solución de la denuncia y su resultado penal.

INTRODUCTION: Regular physical exercise has numerous benefits. However, there is a subset of the exercising population who may develop a compulsion to exercise excessively and who may, as a consequence, display physiological and psychological changes that have a direct influence on their quality of life. OBJECTIVE: Our objective was to determine if there are differences between male and female athletes' scores on measures of negative addiction symptoms, quality of life, mood and sleep. METHODS: 144 female and 156 male athletes participated in this study by answering the following questionnaires: Negative Addiction Scale, Beck Depression Inventory, Trait Anxiety Inventory, Profile of Mood States, SF-36 Quality of Life, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality and Epworth Sleepiness Scale. RESULTS: Higher dedication to training sessions in the male group, and members of the female group with symptoms of negative addiction to exercise showed a lower score on vigor observed by the Profile of Mood States compared to the males in both situations. We also observed depression symptoms in both members of groups who had negative addiction symptoms when compared with their peers without symptoms, and these figures were even higher in females compared with the male group in the same situation. CONCLUSION: No differences were seen in the development of negative addiction exercise symptoms in males and females and there were no changes in the quality of life and mood of these athletes. Further studies of eating disorders associated with changes in body image perception could contribute to a better understanding of negative addiction to exercise.

O trabalho analisa as representações sociais dos jovens acerca de seus problemas, e das formas de enfrentá-los, com base em 39 entrevistas realizadas junto a moradores de Duque de Caxias, de ambos os sexos, com idade variando entre 13 e 22 anos. A análise mostra que a representação de problemas se esclarece por oposição aos projetos de vida dos jovens, estruturados em torno da estabilidade econômica e afetiva. Caberia ao jovem evitar os desvios que inviabilizam a realização de seu projeto de vida. Para isso, eles contam essencialmente com a ajuda de seus familiares e amigos, representados ao mesmo tempo como a maior fonte de apoio e um grande problema quando não atendem às expectativas de suporte e auxílio.

This paper analyses social representations of youths on their main problems and how they deal with them. Data were collected in 39 interviews with residents in Duque de Caxias, of both genders, aged between 13 and 22 years old. The analysis shows that the representation of the problems are make clear in opposition to their projects of life, which are structured around economic and affective stability. The interviewed youths consider that they themselves must overcome the main obstacles to their projects. For that, they need support from parents and friends, who represent at the same time the major source of support, however, a significant concern when they are not able to correspond to the youths' expectations.
