Apstrakt

U radu se iz perspektive kritičke analize diskursa i kritičke pedagogije analizira prikaz rodne hijerarhije u udžbenicima italijanskog jezika kao stranog. Cilj analize jeste ispitati da li se asimetrični odnosi moći između žena i muškaraca reprodukuju ili transformišu kroz prikaz zanimanja koja su dodijeljena muškim i ženskim likovima. Preko analize dva reprezentativna udžbenika italijanskog za strance, objavljena između 2002. i 2019. godine, istražuju se razlike u prikazima, kao i u izdavačkim politikama u pogledu rodno senzitivnog pristupa. Konkretno, poređenjem udžbenika nastojimo utvrditi da li je moguće identifikovati progresivnu egalitarnu tendenciju u percepciji i prikazu žena i muškaraca u profesionalnoj sferi. Rezultati ukazuju na značajne razlike u prikazu rodne hijerarhije u profesionalnoj sferi. Zbog evidentnog odsustva rodnog pristupa, udžbenik Qui Italia reprodukuje i naturalizuje asimetrične odnose moći između žena i muškaraca u profesionalnoj sferi. Nasuprot tome, udžbenik Dieci A1 izdvaja se kao obrazovni materijal koji dovodi u pitanje tradicionalne rodne uloge u profesionalnoj sferi i nudi alternativne i egalitarne modele. Rezultati nadalje ukazuju na to da su progresivne tendencije u vezi sa rodnom ravnopravnošću u obrazovnim materijalima evoluirale tokom vremena, te da se rodna perspektiva prilikom kreiranja udžbenika sve intenzivnije sprovodi i vrednuje.
