The education of women and the contemporary imaginary

The text points out research results that examined some of the (many) hate speeches currently publicized by social networks, pointing out contemporary representations about female education. The text was based on an analytical-reconstructive methodology, structured by the description and illustration of current forms of imaginary in relation to women, captured from reports that mention female education in current times. To this end, an empirical corpus of 12 (twelve) reports published between 2017 and 2021 was constituted, highlighting the reader's comments produced for each of the reports. The text is guided by a critical theoretical orientation, in dialogue with authors who discuss the imaginary, such as Castoriadis (2010); Chartier (1990, 2002) and Cassirer (2001). From the research findings, we highlight the representation of manifestations of hatred specific to female education, revealing understandings and imaginaries about women, their rights and the education processes destined for them from two pronounced aspects: a) the domestic space as a space feminine and b) the woman and the right to the truth. We conclude by the presence, even if condensed within the methodological limits of the present text, of elements of the imaginary or representations about the education of women in the contemporary world that, in fact, indicate hate speeches against women, their rights and education processes destined for her.
