Resumen

Este artículo presenta un análisis de discursos de género en conversaciones con conflicto extraídas de datos de interacción del reality show estadounidense The Apprentice. El artículo explora la manera en que las mujeres profesionales recrean sus identidades de género cuando están inmersas en conversaciones con conflicto, estereotípicamente entendidas como “masculinas”. De modo específico, vamos a contemplar la forma en que ellas construyen su identidad de género usando distintos tipos de discursos de género. Pudimos observar que estas mujeres profesionales emplean diferentes discursos de género al construir sus identidades, a saber, discursos dominantes de femineidad y discursos resistentes. Este artículo también muestra cómo la representación de la identidad de género en conversaciones con conflicto varía según el contexto.
