Abstract

Abstract This article, firstly, describes and analyzes, comparatively, scenes of harassment in situations of seduction that have, as targets, men and women. Secondly, examines what are the effects of these scenes in the construction of female and male subjectivity. This article analyzes those experiences in male and female students from the National University of San Martin, Argentina. The question that backs up this work is based on what are the thresholds that lead from a passage of eroticism consented to situations that are perceived by the students, as harassment and what do they do with these experiences. The methodology is qualitative, it is based on in-depth interviews to students from this University and the complaints about violence against women, received by the Integral Council on Gender Violence and Sexualities at the University.
