Abstract

Scientific literature has clarified that the contexts of more intense power relations favor sexual harassment and impunity. This article presents the results of a research that has analyzed a legislation aimed at combating sexual harassment that preceded six months earlier the selection and evaluation of faculty. The communicative research methodology followed the criteria of social impact and creation, which are currently required by the European Union research program. In addition to a documentary review, sixteen interviews were conducted, twelve with teachers who led the research that gave rise to these reforms and three with victims who managed to become survivors. The result shows an affirmation shared by all interviewees: the passing of legislation against sexual harassment weakened feudal relationships within universities and made members of the Spanish parliament aware of the need to overcome these relationships through meritocratic evaluation. This result can contribute to a twofold process: that feminisms support democratic and social reforms in universities and that those who elaborate scientific policies know that guaranteeing gender equality and overcoming sexual harassment is the way to promote scientific productivity.

封建主义、精英主义和性骚扰

科学文献已经阐明，更强烈的权力关系有利于性骚扰和有罪不罚。本文介绍了一项研究的结果，该研究分析了一项旨在打击性骚扰的立法，该立法在六个月前就开始了对教师的选择和评估。传播研究方法遵循了欧盟研究计划目前所要求的社会影响和创造标准。除了文献回顾外，还进行了16次采访，其中12次采访了领导研究并引发这些改革的教师，3次采访了设法成为幸存者的受害者。调查结果显示了所有受访者都认同的一个观点:反性骚扰立法的通过削弱了大学内部的封建关系，使西班牙议会成员意识到需要通过任人唯贤的评估来克服这些关系。这一结果可以促进一个双重过程:女权主义者支持大学的民主和社会改革，而那些制定科学政策的人知道，保证性别平等和克服性骚扰是促进科学生产力的途径。
