Raising consciousness through talking about media discourses on love. The case of El Banquete de Safo

Abstract

In this article, we explore the potential of the dialogic conversation group about the medi a discourse on love as a tool for building egalitarian relationships. To this end, we present the results of El Banquete de Safo ( Sappho’s Symposium) , a Participatory Action Research in which lesbian and bisexual women reflect critically on these media mes sages. We centre our analysis on the discourses arising from the media construct of love and their repercussions in the daily lives of the participants.
