Resum

La distribució d'àrees de poder a les democràcies contemporànies es canalitza a través de l'assignació de comissions. Prenent com a punt de partida que els processos institucionals estan generitzats d'acord amb els postulats de l'institucionalisme feminista, s'argumenta en aquest article que l'assignació de comissions continua estant generitzada fins i tot en un context de paritat. Per això s'utilitza una base de dades original sobre la composició de les comissions i les característiques dels representants de les 14 legislatures del Congrés dels Diputats espanyol, així com entrevistes a diputats i diputades de la legislatura XIV. A més, es repensen les teories de l'organització legislativa sota una perspectiva de gènere amb la finalitat de comprendre totalment el fenomen. La principal conclusió del present article és que la distribució de matèries de poder ha estat asimètrica. Mentre que als espais de poder tradicionalment dominats per homes les dones augmenten la seva presència en paral·lel a la seva presència numèrica al total de la cambra, en aquelles matèries estereotípicament femenines la presència de dones es manté i augmenta, sent el gènere la principal variable explicativa de pertànyer a aquest tipus de comissions.

Paraules clau
