Discriminación de género y percepciones de la sexualidad entre los aspirantes, cadetes, instructores y autoridades en la Escuela Superior Militar Eloy Alfaro y la Escuela de Policía General Enríquez Gallo

El análisis de las discriminaciones sobre sexualidad y género dentro de la Escuela Superior Militar Eloy Alfaro (ESMIL) y la Escuela Superior de Policía General Alberto Enríquez Gallo (ESPOL), ayudará a conocer y entender cómo se han producido y reproducido los discursos referentes a este tema, así como la manera en que este tipo de percepciones y actuaciones se hacen visibles en la convivencia diaria dentro de estas instituciones. También, se analizará el proceso del ingreso de grupos GLBT (gays, lesbianas, bisexuales y transexuales) en estas dos instituciones; adicionalmente, el conocimiento que se puede obtener de los grupos GLBT en el Ecuador permitirá comprender mucho más la sexualidad y el género en un ámbito militar y policial que representa el “orden”, la “rectitud” y la “valentía”. En el capítulo I, desde la perspectiva de género junto con los estudios de la sexualidad se planteará el enfoque aproximativo de esta investigación, para indagar sobre la discriminación y cómo se la ha tratado en el Ecuador. En el capítulo II se menciona sobre el poder masculinista que se relaciona que con el poder practicado en estas instituciones, y cómo este poder actúa respecto a la orientación sexual y al género. En el capítulo III se hace una descripción de lo obtenido en la investigación en las dos instituciones, con respecto a prácticas, usos, y rituales que practican en la convivencia diaria. La pregunta principal que se responde a través del análisis de estas instituciones es: ¿qué tipo de discriminaciones de género y sexuales existen entre los aspirantes, cadetes, instructores y autoridades en la ESMIL y la ESPOL? El enfoque metodológico es de corte cualitativo, con técnicas de observación del proceso de admisión, charlas sobre valores y clases académicas que reciben los cadetes, además de la instrucción o ejercicios físicos, y ceremonias internas de las dos instituciones. Se realizaron entrevistas en profundidad a los instructores, autoridades y aspirantes de las dos instituciones, que tienen relación y trato cercano con los cadetes desde primer año.

Decreto expedido por el señor Presidente de la República D. Eloy Alfaro sobre organización de la Policía de Orden y Seguridad de esta capital y reformatorio del expedido el 8 de julio del presente año.

Uskonnonopetuksen tunnustuksellisuus koulun kiistakysymyksenä : Evankelinen herätysliike oppivelvollisuuskoulun kristillisyyden asialla 1912-1926

In the early years of independence the Finnish school system went through a major change. Both the Compulsory school attendance act (1921) and the Religious freedom act (1923) were legislated almost simultaneously. Although the legislators were deciding on the whole content of the citizenship education given in the compulsory school, their attention was mainly concentrated on the issue of the religious education. The former study concerning the subject shows that this issue was strongly influenced by the political power struggle between the conservative and the socialist parties. One of the underlying factors was also the Church s decreased authority concerning the elementary school. The aim of this research was to study the Finnish evangelical movement s attitude and opinions on the issue of religious education and on its status and nature. Their opinions on the issue were especially investigated from the point of view of their own evangelical lower elementary school teachers seminar, which was deeply connected with the matter of confessionalism. The source material of this research of educational history consist of documents of the school administration and the Lutheran Evangelical Association as well as of vast collection of educational, Church s and evangelical movement s journals. According to the results of this study, the evangelical movement plead very strongly for denominational religious education. However, the confessionalism they were pursuing differed from the common understanding of the concept at that time. This became evident both because of their demands for increased education on the Christian doctrine and because of their sharp criticism against loosely confessional, generally Christian religious education. The evangelical movement s strict opinion was combined with their effort to emphasize the Lutherian doctrine in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Finland. The founding of the Evangelical seminar for lower elementary school teachers in Karkku was a significant indication of the evangelical movement s dedication to strive towards school s Christianity. The objective of the evangelical seminar was to change the school by means of training evangelical minded teachers. The seminar was only a part of much larger plans of evangelical education and home missionary work. However, maintaining the seminar proved to be impossible, especially as the National Board of Education was absolutely against it, claiming that it would endanger the unity of the compulsory school. The National Board of Education indicated that the objectivity of citizenship education would be forfeit, if every marginal ideological movement could educate their own teachers.
