Se Hombre

Abstract

The mental health of men, particularly in relation to masculinity and gender roles, is the central focus of this research. This work addresses concepts such as hegemonic masculinity, the influence of gender roles at the interpersonal level, and a critical vision of patriarchy, based on a the oretical and critical review of gender and masculinity studies. The aim is to understand the impact of rigid masculine models and their consequences at the emotional and social levels. To expose this reality, the research proposes the creation of artistic works, with an animated short film as the main outcome. This short film illustrates common situations experienced by many men,highlighting how these dynamics shape their relationships with themselves and with the world around them. The project combines an academic analytical approach with visual artistic expression, using narrative and aesthetic resources as a tool for sensitive communication and social reflection on masculinity.
