MEDUSA AND VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN: PROPOSED EDUCATIONAL MATERIAL

Abstract

In reference to the theme (Violence against women) we propose the construction of a game that can be presented to classes from the 9th grade of Elementary School to High School, having as the theme of discussion the less discussed version of the Myth of Medusa. We used to create this game, which is based on Jogo do Ganso (LUDOSOFIA, 2020), the creation of a new story for Medusa. deconstruct the Myth, through the game, creating and proposing a new narrative where Medusa is heard, being able to be the protagonist of her story, which together with other women (Gorgons) who also suffered sexual violence will seek together for justice. We tried to create a dynamic game that also conveyed the feeling of immersion in the ancient world and, above all, a game that allows those who have experienced violence like Medusa to know that they are not alone.
