Mirar a Medusa. Una invitación a atravesar la petrificación, a deshacer y deshacernos de su maldición
Treball final de Diploma de postgrau "La pràctica de la relació", dins del Màster en Estudis de la Llibertat Femenina, Universitat de Barcelona. DUODA, Centre de recerca de dones, curs: 2011-2012, Tutora: Dra. Caroline WilsonMirar a Medusa es una invitación a atravesar la petrificación, a deshacer la maldición que sobre esa figura mitológica antigua, femenina, rica y paradójica recae y con ello ser libres para pensar lo no pensado, para decir lo no dicho: para ser.
El presente trabajo pretende mostrar ese vislumbre de la luz que Medusa posee y ofrece, una luz que ilumina la sombra, con lo que nos hace más conscientes y, por ello, más libres.

Shared Custody, Does It Push Mothers Too Far?
In recent years women’s desire in relation to maternity shows two tendencies: women who choose to be mothers at the side of a man who takes on paternity in a responsible way and women who wish to be mothers
but not next to a man. Some years ago men were not (or in the main were not) in the relationship of care of their daughters and sons of a young age. Today they are more so. But, how and where are they? What is the place of the father? For babies to be born the relationship between the sexes is necessary and this is an uneven, unbalanced relationship. It is a natural disparity, that is, of something that, by chance or as a gift, is thus and not another way. And it is important not to confuse disparity with inequality, since inequalities have to do with the social and are, therefore, modifiable and remediable. To confuse that disparity with inequality can lead to the
