Passe o controle, é a vez delas: estratégias de design contra o machismo em jogos digitais

Abstract

This research resides in the context of discussion about digital games, chauvinism and the possibilities for designers to act with attention to education and ethics issues, and problematization of reality. In a society marked by violence against women, the educational process become an essential tool for an active dialogue in the school environment, as a way to combat sexism. By proposing an open educational resource to support the school curriculum, based on the context of games and the digital experience, we bring together the role of designers as catalysts for social and cultural transformations, allowing dialogues, discourses and new visions about the reality. As a result of the research, we present a website and a user guide focused on educators, parents and high school students.
