  • The family is almost always the first space of contact, socialization, learning and understanding of the culture in which we live. The understanding that circulates in the social imaginary about what a family is, is based on a colonial and cisheteropatriarchal ideal, which organizes the members of these units into hierarchies of power and rigid distribution of binary gender social roles. In a family context based on a cisheteropatriarchal organization, members can be compelled to adapt in order to reproduce the norms demanded by the social environment. This logic affects the experiences of LGBTQIAP+ people who may find ways to perform cisheteronormativity in this family environment, even if this is not their individual understanding of their own gender and sexuality, in an attempt to avoid suffering some kind of oppression. Thinking about LGBTQIAP+ people who have assumed their sexuality and/or gender identity to their primary family and who have remained in their homes, but have not had their gender identity and/or sexuality accepted, I raise some questions: are there implicit or explicit pacts of performativity and expression of gender and sexuality between an LGTBQIAP+ person and the primary family that does not accept their gender identity and/or sexuality? How do these pacts work? Could performing cisheteronormativity in the primary family space be a way of surviving intra-family LGBTQIAPphobia? My research is based on this reflection. Here, I hypothesize that the performative pacts of cisheteronormativity made by openly LGBTQIAP+ people within the nuclear family space are a strategy for surviving intra-family LGBTQIAPphobia, as well as a strategy for trying to ensure that they remain in that nucleus and access not only affection, but also education, safety and other resources. To carry out my research, I established a dialog with theorists Adrienne Rich and Monique Wittig to think about the norms of heterosexuality and intellectuals from queer theory such as Judith Butler, Leandro Colling and Eve Sedgwick to discuss performance, performativity and the closet. As a method, I opted for autoethnography to construct the research data, working from personal diaries, photographs and authorial illustrations during the period from 2012 to 2023, using the lifeline technique to separate the significant events that were part of the data.  Throughout the dissertation I discuss the concept of performative pacts, listing resources that are used to maintain these pacts. I also argue about the duality of living these performative experiences, since the pacts are both an attempt by society to imprison us in the norms of heterosexuality and cisgenderity, and are also shields that we use to escape experiencing violence in our nuclear families. I end with contributions to the discussion about what we can define as a family, given that LGBTQIAP+ people are always putting these definitions into tension.

  • Compression of the plurality that composes women and violence is fundamental for confronting the phenomenon. Therefore, an important step is not to naturalize these dynamics and provide opportunities for a broader and more engaged look at this serious public health problem. The general intention of my work is to analyze how educational and preventive actions are based on advertising-media campaigns in relation to public policies aimed at women in Bahia. In methodological terms, a bibliographical research was initially carried out, followed by documentary research based on the documents available on the website of the Secretariat of Policies for Women of Bahia. In addition to semi-structured interviews with institutional, network and communication agents about the decade (2011 to 2021), a marker for the creation and development of specialized actions and agendas. It has been a theme regularly analyzed in the Present Time due to its broader visibility, through massive dissemination and distribution through the media and the internet. The results found suggest the importance of more interdisciplinary and feminist contributions in the construction of public policy campaigns on the investigated topic.

  • By uniting debates about alternative forms of political representation and feminine sub representation, this dissertation analyzed the new political representative model sustained by the so called Collective Mandates, focusing on women’s political representation in Brazil through the Collective Mandates Pretas Por Salvador (BA) e Juntas (PE). In this scope, it was sought to understand in which measure the collective mandates constitute the strategies of women in facing the hurdles of electoral success. Thereby, to answer this work`s guiding hypothesis. Semi structured interviews were utilized, performed in person and online, with the women who compose the selected collective mandates. Through analysis it`s possible to understand that the collective mandates preannounce a new trend in Brazilian politics in times of questioning the old formulas. While political innovation is about an experiment where the interested in acting in public life try to rebuild and question the traditional logic of electoral engineering in attempt to “hack” the brazilian political system. Therefore, such initiatives end up swelling the debate about the need to rethink political representation in Brazil. It is possible to perceive such proposition by the interviewed, by having in sight the recurring mentioning by the interviewed of the will to oxygenate the political scene. Despite the urge, the analysis shows that, at this initial moment, this arrangement is closer to political practice than to an effective institutionalization.

    The present work had as its theme the fervo. More specifically, to understand, in a deeper and more organic way, how fervo could contribute to the theoretical and political field of Sexual and Gender Diversity. The work is divided into four parts. The first presents the apotheotic construction of the theoretical and political field of Sexual and Gender Diversity as a generational experience, especially from the beginning of the 21st century in Brazil. The second part registers the historical contribution of what I called boiled knowledge, bypassing concepts and presenting the proposed methodology based on fervography (NEVES, 2018) or what is called here a fervographic experience. From field diary records, we systematized the experience developed by the study in Salvador, starting with the creation of the Coletivo Drags da Prevenção, passing through the creation of the Drag Power Movement and reaching the preview of what later became the Fervo2k20 Platform. The third part presents a set of social technologies (ST) that were built in the chaotic period of the covid-19 pandemic, together with the research interlocutors. From these tools (ST) it was possible to collect and systematize data on the situation of artists, production companies and cultural collectives led by women and LGBTQIA+, especially black women, from and/or with a background in the periphery, and build, with them, creative solutions to overcome the vulnerability that this sector was. Collectives created movements, which created a platform, an observatory and carried out a set of cultural projects that allowed many of these artists and collectives to access public resources for the first time - arising, above all, from the Aldir Blanc Act. We present the experience developed both in Salvador and on Boipeba Island, located in the city of Cairu, in the interior of Bahia, deep Brazil, where we carried out a focal action of the Fervo2k20 Platform for 13 months in partnership with Espaço Cultural Dionésia and participated in the creation of local tools such as the Boipeba Artistic Laboratory (LAB). The fourth and last part brings final considerations which fill the concept of fervo, developed by the author since 2015, as well as brings contributions to important concepts in the field of Sexual and Gender Diversity such as identity and diversity, difference and equality, and presents some challenges that fervo points to gender and sexuality studies and struggles in the Global South.

  • The National Action Plan (NAP) "Women, Peace and Security" approved in 2017 consists of a plan drawn, with regards to the gender mainstreaming and gender equality in the areas of international security and defense. The purpose of this research is to answer the following question: Is the NAP a set of palliative measures, which perpetuates an excluding and universal view of women, shaped by traditionalist optics? Or does it in fact adhere to the gender field in a transversal way? The starting point for the analysis is UNSC Resolution 1325/2000, based on feminist approaches, especially those that focus on race, class, and location, the theoretical and socio-political transformations that have occurred in International Security studies since the late 1960s, also considering the evolution of Brazilian feminist movements. With a feminist qualitative methodology proposal, based on localized knowledge, which refutes the concept of a neutral and an universal researcher and defends the proximity of the researcher with her object of analysis, and brings the researcher connected to the reality of her analytical object, the data analysis method is based on documental and bibliographical analysis, but also on interview methods with women who participated in the elaboration process and in the continuity of the Brazilian NAP, for the research to acquire women's voices, telling their own experiences and stories. Through the analysis it is possible to reach the conclusion that the NAP was the result of a great individual effort from women who occupied strategic positions, in a political context unfavorable for gender policies; however, the brazilian plan remains without effective implementation and monitoring, disregarding the insecurities and the realities of women in the national territory.

  • This work aims to understand how lesbian thought enters academia, based on the hypotheses that the entry of lesbians into universities, the existence of publications on lesbianities in journals, and the promotion of extension courses significantly contribute to glimpsing a lesbian epistemology. Therefore, this research aims to investigate this third way of entering lesbian thought, analyzing through which epistemes it has been theorized. The trajectories of Latin American social movements had a strong influence on the political organization of lesbians in Brazil, resulting in the construction of exclusive groups. These groups survived dictatorial times and global health crises, yet remained alive and resistant. It is from this historical construction that productions began to enter academia as knowledge, still marginalized. Thinking about a dynamic and autonomous relationship between social movement and academia and understanding lesbian thought as a political-cultural movement centered on lesbianism, this research uses screen ethnography as a methodological resource to construct field data that underlie the theoretical trajectory of the work. The course Feminist Theories and Lesbianities, offered in the Supplementary Academic Semester of the Federal University of Bahia in virtual format, on the Moodle platform, was the chosen field for observation and analysis of Online Discussion Forums, categorizing the course into three dimensions: political, pedagogical, and affective. In the field, the importance of the entry of lesbian thought into universities was found and how access to these authors and constructions has a subjective impact on the students, collaborating in their research, their work, their practices, and activism, as well as weaving support networks among them.

  • The construction of an analytical thought about access and use in quilombola communities requires a broad look, going beyond the conceptual understanding of the fact. This is linked to the historical and social contexts in which these communities emerge. In this sense, the analyses on health conditions, access and use of reproductive health services by quilombola communities are investigated according to the socioeconomic and cultural situations in which they live. This work is partially derived from the analysis of the database of a pilot research on women's reproductive autonomy and the participation of partners in their reproductive choices, taking as locus the quilombola communities of Porto da Pedra and Giral Grande. In this study, according to the literature findings, we propose a hypothesis: access to and use of reproductive health services by quilombola women with lower income and older is higher than in women with lower age and higher income. The general objective of this research is to analyze the access and use of reproductive health services by quilombola women from the communities of Porto da Pedra and Giral Grande and specific; to identify the sociodemographic and reproductive profile of quilombola women; to analyze the access and use of quilombola women in prenatal care, childbirth, cervical cancer prevention, and mammography; to analyze the relationship between income and age in the access and use of reproductive health services. We selected 60 quilombola women of reproductive age between 18 and 49 years old, who have had or have partners in the rural quilombola communities of Giral Grande and Porto da Pedra, located in the country side of Maragogipe in the Recôncavo Baiano. This research is of the exploratory cross-sectional type and has a quantitative approach, where, initially, univariate descriptive analysis was performed with frequency distribution of the variables that characterize the profile of respondents, as well as access to and use of health services offered by the country side.
    Next, a bivariate descriptive analysis was performed in order to evaluate and understand the relationships between the variables that make up the sociodemographic profile and the variables of access to and use of health services. It is worth pointing out that Chi-square tests were performed to assess possible associations between the variables of interest, but all were not statistically significant. The results of the research showed that older women with lower income use more reproductive health services, even though these are not covered by the SUS. The factors of geographic location, lack of information, and absence of UBS in the studied communities served as barriers to the access and use of reproductive health services. The experiences of normal home births were higher in women with higher age and lower income.

  • This research aimed to identify and analyze the intersection of social markers of gender, race, ethnicity and class in the educational trajectory (and lack of it) of Calin gypsy women from the Calon gypsy community in Camaçari, Bahia. To do so, I used the concept of intersectionality as a theoretical-methodological and practical tool, seeking to investigate how these markers operated simultaneously in the social experiences of these women, generating disadvantages in access to education from the articulation of sexism, racism and classism. Belonging to an ethnic group historically marginalized and oppressed by hegemonic social structures through racist and classist discourses and practices, in the accumulation of these social markers of difference that generate inequalities, gender oppression weighs on Gypsy women. This is a qualitative research, carried out through semi-structured interviews with four gypsy women from the community, one of whom currently lives outside. The interviews were carried out between November 2021 and April 2022 in that community and in a virtual space. With a multi-referential approach, for the analysis and interpretation of the data provided by the Calin gypsies on the proposed theme, in addition to the intersectional lenses, I relied on critical theories of race, postcolonial and decolonial theories from a feminist perspective, on feminist epistemologies, in feminist anthropology and especially in the contributions of black and gypsy feminist thought. The research revealed that, similarly to what happens in other hegemonic social/institutional spaces, the school was constituted as a locus of reproduction of racist, sexist and classist structures, in which part of the Calim gypsies continuously suffered prejudice and discrimination. On the other hand, in the dynamics of internal gender and ethnicity relations, the research also revealed that, although the premature rupture of boys and girls with school is a common cultural practice in the community, aiming at not diluting the cultural ethos, the follow-up of this practice is charged with greater weight in the female gender. The research also revealed that, from the point of view of some of the participating kalins, the gypsy community as a whole is not against education, considering it very important for gypsies in several aspects, however, at the same time highlighted the difficulties faced by gypsies in hegemonic educational spaces: lack of (re)knowledge of gypsy cultures, continuous episodes of prejudice and discrimination, etc. by teachers and students. It is concluded that the difficulties of insertion in hegemonic educational spaces, as well as the extension of the educational trajectory of Gypsy girls and women, result from several complex factors, going far beyond compliance with traditional ethnic values and practices: the Brazilian State has a responsibility crucial, since, even today, it perpetuates the structural/institutional invisibilization/oppression of Roma people. Finally, it is concluded that given the crossroads of gender, race, ethnicity and class where Gypsy girls and women are forcibly placed, the search for correction of the social injustice suffered by Gypsy groups in the educational sphere inevitably involves the promotion of an analysis and anti-racist, anti-sexist and anti-classist practices.

  • The present study analyzed the trajectory of Law nº 68/IX/2019 and its impacts on the political under-representation of women in Cape Verdean, specifically in local management, whose time frame extends between 1991 and 2020, on the Island of Santiago in their respective nine municipalities. The dissertation proposal is inserted in feminist studies and in the line of research “Gender, power and public policies”. The theme has opened up a range of reflections on the substantive representation, functioning and quality of democracy in contemporary societies, in addition to contributing to the fields of Political Science, Sociology, Law and Humanities. The literature confirms that the colonial system began in 1460 and lasted until 1975, keeping Cape Verdean and Guinean women in situations of oppression and exploitation. Faced with this condition, these women fought and performed essential functions in favor of emancipation. However, it is clear that after independence, they were made invisible, discriminated against and underrepresented in the spheres of power, especially at the local level. Given this situation, Cape Verdean has been taking steps to promote the representation of women in political affairs and feminist movements committed to advancing access to social justice, with emphasis on the Cape Verdean Institute for Gender Equality and Equity (ICIEG) and the Women's Network Parliamentarians Cape Verdeans (RMPCV). Both, together with other organizations, planned the Parity Law, nº 68/IX/2019, whose scope aims to correct the effects triggered by the “glass ceiling”, enhancing the presence of women in eligible places, adjusting social justice and consolidating representative democracy. The specific objectives aim to describe the political movements involved in the planning and implementation of the legislation and the analysis of the Law in terms of the theoretical structure of the conception and the normative guidelines. The contributions of the Law of Parity in the municipal bodies of the island of Santiago are verified based on the categories of gender and party membership. Finally, the potentialities and obstacles faced in the application of the Law are analyzed. The methodology used in this work is deductive and based on data triangulation, with emphasis on the documentary corpus. The question of this investigation is “The Parity Law nº 68/IX/2019 corrected the political underrepresentation of women in municipal bodies on the island of Santiago?”. Describing and analyzing the situation of female under-representation in Cabo Verdean municipal level requires an approximation with a methodological approach that would make it possible to present the issue-problem, both in terms of quantity, whether from the point of view of the objectives, or in the detailed description regarding technical and bibliographic procedures for literature review. For geographic delimitation and a more in-depth approach, the methodological procedure will focus on the Island of Santiago in terms of its social, historical and political characteristics and particularities. In addition to the aforementioned research methods and techniques, the paradigm of intersectionality is delimited in order to highlight the quantitative impacts of elected officials considering the category of gender and party membership. It is concluded that the Parity Threshold goal was achieved in the analyzed election, promoting an increase in the political presence of women. However, female political under-representation in municipal bodies on the island of Santiago still persists, conditioned by the hierarchical bottleneck and shows that Law nº 68/IX/2019 needs revisions with regard to the fixed rate, in the application methods. Electoral justice, as well as the legislation of the Electoral Code, contribute to gender equality and parity, in addition to the achievement of local and national democracy.

  • This dissertation proposes to explore debates about care work and black women, based on exploratory research on the role of “social mothers” in shelter units for children and adolescents. The study aims to know and understand the expressions of care work in the lives of black women who act as social mothers in institutional care units for children and adolescents in the city of Salvador-BA. It also seeks to point out invisible issues, based on decolonial feminism, to verify how coloniality and gendered racism are present in the paid care work carried out by black women in society, based on the work of “social mothers” in Salvador; Understand the contours and elements that permeate care work in Brazil and its particularities in institutions that welcome children and adolescents; Identify and understand working conditions and how care work is carried out by black women, who act as social mothers in shelter units for children and adolescents in Salvador. To this end, bibliographical reviews, documental analyzes and semi-structured interviews were carried out with "social mothers" who work in units with a home care modality. From the data, it was emphasized the need for deepening on the punctuated approaches, which pervade several areas, above all, the rights for children and adolescents, as well as the need for new reflections on the work category and on the (de) universalization in the studies on gender and care work.

  • This dissertation aims to provide a feminist and decolonial perspective on the topic of feminicide against transgender and trans women, analyzing the disputes surrounding the concept of "being a woman" in the application of feminicide to cases of homicide against them. The study seeks to dismantle hegemonic knowledge and understanding by employing feminist epistemology and critical feminist discourse analysis. The methodological approach is based on Queer Theory, Transfeminism, and other feminist theories that study the postmodern subject and use gender and sexuality as analytical categories. The research examines feminist theories on gender-based violence, discusses biocapitalism and its relation to the cisgender sex-gender system, examines legislative advancements and judicial decisions related to the rights of the LGBTI+ community, and the judicial recognition of trans identities and bodies. The results highlight that, concerning transgender and trans women, judicial arguments generally acknowledge their gender identity; however, they fail to deconstruct hegemonic binary parameters, resulting in injustices. Judicial discourses still rely on the biologizing idea of sex and reflect the transphobia present in cisgender individuals within the judicial system, when they should recognize the complexity of gender identities and not reinforce discriminatory stereotypes that perpetuate discrimination and violence against trans people. The research identifies gaps in the analysis of the daily experiences of transgender women and trans women in situations of prostitution and domestic violence, as well as a lack of intersectional approach in legal discourses regarding the race and ethnicity of the victims. Finally, the study draws attention to the need for more sensitivity on the part of the judiciary and the integration of a gender perspective to deconstruct binary discourses and denaturalize sex, which is crucial to combatting gender-based violence and ensuring

  • The present work aims to establish an analysis of how aspects of the political
    discourse present in the 2018 electoral campaign, by presidential candidate Jair
    Messias Bolsonaro, relate to the production, reproduction and maintenance of gender,
    race and class inequalities. in Brazil, thus contributing to a possible weakening of
    democracy.
    In recent years we have seen an increase in far-right movements around the world. In
    Brazil, from 2010 onwards, a phenomenon of growth in religious conservatism and
    neoliberalism was already observed, a new right with anti-communist ideals and
    nationalist demands, conservative and reactionary discourse constructed in extremes
    and guided by a neoliberal agenda. Such advances became even more evident
    following the Impeachment process of Dilma Rousseff in 2016, and with the rise of
    the Bolsonarist movement.
    As the far-right candidate in the 2018 presidential election, Bolsonaro was presented
    as a “new” option on the political scene, despite having almost thirty years of public
    life. In the eyes of politically discredited voters, he and Bolsonarism emerged as a
    possible “salvation” for the country’s ills, a persona and a political movement
    constructed discursively from extremes.
    In this sense, based on a feminist discourse analysis, the objective is to highlight, from
    the categories of gender, race and class, aspects of Jair Messias Bolsonaro's political
    speech during the 2018 electoral campaign, which contribute to a possible weakening
    of democracy in Brazil. . Initially, from the investigation of the discursive and

  • The studies on gender stereotypes in the structure of society have been on the agenda of social movements and feminist academic research since the 19th century. In this way, several doors have been opened with key questions about the meaning of being a man and a woman in society, gender privileges and lack of opportunities, engendered power structures and submission. From the analysis of the history of theater it is also possible to understand that fine art act as a space for modeling behaviors and actions that privilege the masculine as a parameter to define society's values. Thus, women who showed aptitude for this artistic professional segment were seen as worthless and vulgar. But, in the 20th century, inspired by the feminist flags of struggle for gender equality and new critical epistemologies about role representations, the performing arts began to act with dramaturgies that explain gender disparities in everyday relationships, thus emerging groups of feminist theatre. Thus, instigated by reflections along the lines of historiography and review of the literature, the dissertation aims to investigate how and why the Theater of the Oppressed - a dissident movement from the proposal of the Theater of the Oppressed that emerged in the early 1970s - brought the proposals of the Feminist Theater to the their scenic practices. Through bibliographical research, we investigated how women's participation in Brazilian theater has been until the experience of Teatro das Oprimidas. The research highlights the influences of race and class markers as intersectional categories to highlight in the analyzes the importance of scenic productions adopting perspectives that will build a less unequal society without machismo, racism and other social differences.

  • During the Coronavirus pandemic, the sale of erotic content on the internet became a source of income for many women who were negatively affected by the health, economic and social crisis that devastated the country. Thus, at the same time that the unemployment rate was growing in Brazil, OnlyFans, a platform used to sell pornographic content, registered a large increase in the number of users and began to appear frequently in the media as an alternative job for women. However, little was said about the dangers related to using the site and the implications of this growth. The popularization of OnlyFans in Brazil from 2020 onwards therefore raises several questions about the platformization of work, the sexual exploitation of women's bodies and the strengthening of neoliberal ideology in Latin American countries. These are the issues that will be analyzed in this research, which aims to identify the consequences of the increased use of OnlyFans in the lives of Brazilian women through semi-structured interviews carried out with nine content creators who started using the platform during the pandemic.

  • The increasing presence of women in the federal executive branch in the first two decades of the 21st century, due to public competition, has increased passive gender bureaucratic representation in the Brazilian civil service. This research sought to identify the factors that favor the transition from passive to active gender bureaucratic representation. We seek to understand what leads women civil servants to have pro-gender and racial equality behavior and attitude in public management and in the process of producing and evaluating policies. In order to do so, we have conducted a survey in which we obtained 304 responses, 291 of which were valid. The quantitative research was associated with in-depth interviews with six women, who had been recommended in the survey questionnaire by their colleagues for their work for gender equality. It was concluded that women experience frequent episodes of gender and racial discrimination, including harassment, but they receive little institutional support to face them. Participation in women's networks and collectives, experience in appointed positions in the mid-level and senior bureaucracy, and feminist studies training increase the probability that women bureaucrats have pro-gender equality attitudes in public management, anti-sexist and anti-racist behavior and act to reduce inequalities in public policies. The transition from passive to active gender representative bureaucracy is most strongly enhanced when women take training courses on feminist studies.

  • This thesis is the result of research and investigation work with Daughters and Sons of the Rosary of Terno de Nossa Senhora do Rosário de Vila Padre Pinto Caxambu, where their Afro sound memories about the history of this suit were recorded. For this, a route was traced between Africa-Brazil-Minas Gerais-Quilombo de Caxambu in order to understand the transatlantic movements that influenced the origin of the tradition of the reigns, permeating the arrival of the Bantu peoples in Brazil and the influence of their cosmoperceptions in the national culture. In the dialogue with the main authors and authors about the reigns, its structure was tested, the importance of praising Nossa Senhora do Rosário and the coronation of Black Queens and Kings as the basis of this tradition that resists as a secular culture in this quilombo. For this, the narrative of black women gains prominence since it is from them that it is possible to describe the performative rites of the festivities in Caxambu from the song and dance of the quilombolas. There is a dialogue about sociabilities, memory, sonorities, and black identities present in these festivities that go back to a fundamental myth that extends from generation to generation for a little over two centuries and that permeates the researcher's family history.

  • This research was carried out in the Postgraduate Program in Interdisciplinary Studies on Gender, Women and Feminism, in the research line Gender, Alterity(ies) and Inequalities, and sought to understand how anti-gender offensives have impacted Brazilian educational policy and the inclusion of debates on gender and sexuality in educatioN. The research sought to contextualize the origin of anti-gender offensives and the production and dissemination of the Gender Ideology discourse in Brazil; to investigate the impacts of the anti-gender agenda in restricting discussions on gender and sexuality at school; to identify transnational similarities and differences in anti-gender offensives in Brazil based on the French case; and to understand how the disputes promoted around the notion of gender ideology have potentiated and authorized gender violence and LGBTphobia, and curtailed the rights of women and LGBT+ people. As a methodological resource, I work with the analytical perspective of ethno-research, in a process that involves immersion, inquiry, saturation, reduction, filtering and interpretation for understanding. The investigative procedure was carried out by mapping reactions to the Brasil Sem Homofobia (Brazil Without Homophobia) program, the Gender and Sexuality at School course, and the Escola Sem Homofobia (School Without Homophobia) program, government initiatives to promote gender and sexuality diversity; identifying the discourses on the incorporation of gender and sexuality issues into the National Education Plan and the National Common Curricular Base based on the actions of the School Without a Party Movement; and finally, analyzing the discourses and proposals for anti-gender bills available in the Speeches and Shorthand Notes Database and the Senate and Chamber of Deputies Bills and Other Proposals Database. In this thesis, we found that the main interference operated by neoconservative movements in educational policies took place in the National Congress, with a strong presence of neo-Pentecostal parliamentarians, articulated via the Evangelical Parliamentary Front. The study indicates that the anti-gender offensive in Brazil, in addition to preventing Brazilian educational policy from including mentions and/or programs that encourage the promotion of respect for sexual and gender diversity, has produced and accentuated violence.

  • The present thesis is a path to/in the countryside, it is an irregular trail through the woods, which cuts through the stream, visits the flour house and expands into the yard, it’s a mapped image of the lives of two Antônias - Almeida and Barbosa - Isaura, Valdete, Rosa, Terezinha, Carmelita, Josefa and Marilza. The narratives of life in the House of Affection are put into words and poetry, that wattle and daub house and its characters have their stories dissected, turned over, converted into a text-map. Some questions guided the research: how to share the narratives and uncover how the nine characters, rural women from the Pati and Rio Branco communities in Alagoinhas and Araçás in Bahia, carried out the performance/writing of the oneself in an attempt to resist? How was the construction of their subjectivities in the context in which they lived? The possible answer was: to map the movements of intinerances/errancies of the nine women of the Schramm-Barbosa family, from a perspective aimed at understanding the micro-revolutions they undertook through the construction of the oneself. The specific objectives outlined to understand the micro-stories in their complexities were: to analyze the articulations and breaks between the signs of culture, memory, and the subjectivities constructed by the women in the research; to expose the traps of the pedagogy of domestication in the context of the researched rural communities; to investigate the life performances and aesthetic-political-cultural actions of the characters in the research; to map the strength and movement of the rural women in the present investigation. The methodological paths were aligned point by point with the reflective line of the needle, which connected the authors in the stitching: Nascimento (2018), Moreira (2016), Perrot (1989) and (2019), Rago (2013), Oyěwùmí (2021), Gonzalez (2018), Muraro (2002), Ribeiro (2019) and (2021), Bento (2022), Evaristo (2017), Mercês (2022), Adichie (2021) and (2019), Federici (2017), Franco (2001), hooks (2022), Kilomba (2019), Rios (2011), Rolnik (2016), with the narratives told by the twenty-five people interviewed. Regarding the methodological aspects, the following were carried out: bibliographic and iconographic mapping, interviews, audio and video recording, search for old photographs, drawing production and QR code creation with the aim of capturing, through the cartographic-performative method, the traces, signs, discourses, aesthetic-political-cultural actions of the characters/women of the countryside. As a result of the research, the notion of the countryside as a discursive/theoretical field is presented to deconstruct the concept of the countryside as a non-place and/or in-between place; the most important point is the construction of the perception of the nine women/characters as tireless fighters who undertook micro-revolutions in their daily lives, metamorphosing life and trying not to fall before patriarchy, poverty, hunger, and violence; they constituted themselves every day, whether in manual labor, at the market, at home, in bed or praying, thus breaking down the image of the rural woman as a complex of eternal passivity. The investigation is relevant, therefore, to make visible the real stories of rural women, whether Barbosa or Schramm, reaching the academic space with the purpose of dismantling phallocentric signs in the social imaginary and spreading the power, the desire for becoming that is still alive in the House of Affection. The thesis is a wattle and daub house...

  • This thesis has as its theme “Patchwork Quilt: weaving struggles and resistance of women farmers and settlers in the Territory of Sisal-BA” and is based on theoretical debates in the field of gender to achieve the objective of reflecting on the militancy of women farmers and settled against the oppression of patriarchy in the Territory of Sisal-BA. This research is of great relevance given the fact that there are few records of studies on the struggles of agricultural and settled women in the sisal region and, above all, amid the need to organize data about these people in the territory. Thus, this is a research with a qualitative, descriptive approach with a theoretical basis and its research universe is rural communities in the sisal region and the settlement of Rose in the municipality of Santaluz-BA. The focus of the Rose settlement arises from the fact that it is the oldest community in the Sisal Territory to have its population collectively organized in the struggle for land and receive the land title through agrarian reform. The women interviewed, a total of 52 (fifty-two), were selected based on dialogues and conversations with rural workers' unions and other social movements. Essential methodological techniques and strategies were used to collect primary data that positively impacted the final result of this study. We can cite as examples the participant observation, logbook, photographic records and audio recordings that were transcribed for analysis. Secondary data was also used, accessed through research into studies already developed on the topic, as well as consultation with public bodies and documentary records that contributed to the development of the thesis. Therefore, after theoretical studies in the field of gender and fieldwork that led to a broad path to be followed in this research, I present here a patchwork, collectively constructed, sewn by many hands to analyze and reflect on the struggles and resistance of women. women farmers and settlers in the Territory of Sisal-BA for their visibility, for rights and, above all, against the various forms of gender oppression imposed by the patriarchy that is still present in the sisal region.

  • To understand the territorial formation of Brazil, it is necessary to talk about the quilombos and the resistance undertaken since enslavement and colonization. Throughout the colonial period, the struggles of black people for liberation were present from different strategies, and the formation of the quilombos was the one with the greatest historical expression. The quilombos caused cracks in the system not only because they threatened the economic stability, but also because they showed other possibilities of life for the enslaved. Therefore, the history of black people needs to be told not only from the violence of slavery, but also from the resistance built by black people. It is an understanding that subverts the place attributed by racism and patriarchy to black people in the hegemonic narratives about slavery. This story needs to be told through the lens of racial and feminist studies, recognizing not only the place of women, but also how they were decisive for the struggles waged by the quilombos, yesterday and today. In this sense, there is a little explored history in feminist studies and studies on quilombos about the foundation of different territories in Brazil by women. Tens (and perhaps hundreds) of quilombos were founded in struggles carried out by women. Understanding this process is important for retelling and reconstructing, the story. In addition to these founders, however, there is a strong debate being raised by quilombola women about their role in the maintenance of quilombos. Many are political leaders in their territories, and also fundamental pieces for the preservation of culture, identity, memory, education and for the maintenance of quilombola life. To speak of quilombola territoriality is, therefore, also to speak of female protagonism. Taking this debate out of invisibility is essential to break with an epistemic injustice that does not recognize how quilombola women and their struggles are fundamental in the construction and maintenance of quilombos.

  • This research examines the experience developed by the Collective and Association Papo de Mulher, from Salvador - BA, and is situated in the interface Gender and Mental Health. The collective, which is composed of women in mental distress, has the collaboration of a group of supporters, and acts in a feminist and anti-manicomial perspective, in the struggle for rights and autonomy. Through an intersectional optic and the cartographic method, which considers the creation of a territory to visualize the connections produced among the diverse elements that compose it, it seeks to produce a narrative about the empowerment processes and the construction of the autonomy of women, from the daily accompaniment, the paths, the meetings and the collective action, highlighting the lines of force that cross the processes of such experience. This is done through daily monitoring, participant observation, semistructured interviews, and what emerges from the connections and in the movement of relationships. The cartographic path is structured in four chapters, dealing with the methodological and epistemological paths for a feminist and antimanicomial cartography; theoretical clues about inequalities, mental health and autonomy; encounters, paths, networks and actions built by the group; the daily life of Papo de Mulher in the construction of autonomy in times of pandemic. The research understands that the structures of oppression and inequalities, together with the manicomial logic, produce impacts on the mental health of women, marking a new form of suppression of the construction of autonomy and freedom, besides the maintenance of mental suffering. As a strategy to confront this logic, the Papo de Mulher continues to make rhizome, connecting networks, elements, ideas, movements and women, in the construction of the Bazar das Loucas, rounds of conversations, occupation of political and institutional spaces, and producing new actions, from its creative power. And, in this movement, it builds a multidimensional process of transformation of the reality of women in mental suffering, besides contributing to the production of new holes in the social dominant norms.

  • The present study consisted of knowing the process of empowerment of women who experienced gender violence and found in feminisms a possible way to overcome it. Based on listening to the life history of self-declared feminist women, the research intended, therefore, to identify subjectivities in discovering themselves as feminists, to understand the experiences from the crossings of gender violence and to know which strategies are used to reach other women. . The theoretical articulation involved contributions from bell hooks, Leone Walker, Joice Berth, Cecília Sardemberg, with emphasis on psychologists from the field of feminist psychology Grada Kilomba, Valeska Zanello and Conceição Nogueira. The methodology used was qualitative and data collection was carried out using the life history method with 5 remote interviewees. The data analysis is aligned with Laurence Bardin's content analysis method. The results found in this research confirm that, in fact, feminisms have proved to be a great transforming power in the lives of women with a history of violence, significantly intervening in autonomy, in self-recognition, influencing and enhancing a critical way of thinking, of being and be in the world. Furthermore, the influence of feminist thinking has strengthened the understanding that the personal is also political, and that empowerment is not just an individual process, but mainly, collectively constructed.

  • Gender inequality, violence and the oppression of women is a long-standing issue, and its growing importance for any debate, initiative or movement that is truly committed to social justice is undeniable. The launch of the global movements HeForShe, in 2014 by the United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women, UN Women, and the Sustainable Development Goals, in 2015 by the United Nations, represent important milestones in the global efforts to strengthen and foster the necessary changes in the world and in the efforts to overcome gender inequality and the promotion of sustainable development. Recognizing that overcoming gender inequality cannot be dissociated from struggles to overcome oppressions such as racial, class and hetero-cis-normativity, and that only structural responses can guarantee the overcoming of these inequalities; in this research, based on feminist theories, with an intersectional and decolonial approach, I make a critical analysis of these two global movements, and specifically the 'SDG 5: Gender Equality', in order to better understand how the proposals, goals and strategies of these global movements respond to structural oppressions and  inequalities; how these movements position themselves in relation to the universalization of women's experiences; and how they contemplate current feminist agendas. The methodology used in this work is a qualitative analysis, based on documents and media, available on the platforms and official pages of the global movements studied and of UN entities, and a review of feminist literature. Results of the analysis point to the absence of important social markers, palliative proposals in the face of structural inequalities, and the non-contemplation of important guidelines of the feminist movement.

  • The present dissertation aims to analyze the trajectories of black students from the Graduate Studies Center of Arts, Humanities and Letters of the Federal University of Recôncavo da Bahia, highlighting the experience of black students with violence in the university environment. Based on this work, we seek to understand how the trajectories of these students have been constructed, discussing aspects of the educational path and the specificities of violence experienced by them in the academic context. The construction of the study characterizes it as qualitative research, it is articulated from a bibliographic review, theoretical support based on the thinking of black intellectuals, analysis of cases of violence that occurred at the university published in the media and semi-structured interviews with black students from the Post-Graduate period. Graduation from CAHL/UFRB. In the initial chapter, we will highlight the presence of gender violence in higher education, based on an intersectional reflection, considering the different factors that cross the path of black women. Next, we will present a brief contextualization on the consolidation of postgraduate studies in Brazilian universities, as well as in the Federal University of Recôncavo da Bahia. Finally, we articulate the interviewees' reports from factors that stand out in their trajectory, presenting their educational path, life projects, difficulties, permanence strategies, experiences with violence, the importance of the network of affections in the lives of women and the experiences of students in the educational environment, especially in higher education. It can be noted that it is difficult for students to conceptualize and identify violence, despite recognizing that violent acts were part of their entire lives and that they directly impact their educational path. In addition, it is noted that university institutions do not have strategies for prevention, nor for dealing with situations of violence. In this way, we will present some important aspects to rethink the structure of the university environment, considering the similarities and differences in the experience of these students, to think about possible ways to reflect new possibilities for the experience of black people in graduate school.

  • This research proposes to develop a debate on the importance of intersectionalizing feminist epistemology, and promotes emphasis on the views of narratives and representations around the crime of feminicide in the Metropolitan Region of Belém do Pará, analyzing the reports present in the police sections of the newspaper Diário do Pará, from 2006 to 2020, period chosen to understand the impacts of Brazilian public policies aimed at women, such as the Maria da Penha Law (2006), going through the establishment of the Feminicide Law (2015), until the first year of the Covid-19 pandemic (2020), a year that registered Pará as the state with the highest number of feminicides in the country. The methodology of the study is based on the feminist epistemology evidencing the situated knowledge, based on what Sandra Harding (1996) proposes when considering a feminist production that highlights women's experience as theoretical and empirical resource, the political orientation of knowledge in favor of women and the need to situate the point of view of the investigations produced. Emphasizing above all the knowledge provided by black and decolonial feminist theories. In light of this, the research brings up discussions regarding the typifications of feminicides with emphasis on concepts such as Femirracides, Lesbocides, and Transfeminicides. A discussion about Controlling Images and discursive problematics when narrating violent crimes against women such as "The Passive Voice of Guilt", "The Use and Abuse of the Supposed" and the Narrative as discursive chain used frequently by the dominant structures. Bringing up the debate about feminicide puts into vogue a perspective that is urgent, promoting the prevention of these crimes, from education, public policies and through discourses.

  • This research's main objective was to analyze Projeto Lugar de Fala's (“Project Locus of Speech”) development, implemented in Comunidade de Atendimento Socioeducativa (CASE - Social-educational Service Community) for females of Salvador, as a possible methodological strategy for guarantee of hearing and the rights of teenagers in taking part in the execution of their social-methodological measure of apprehension. For so, I approached the concept of “Locus of Speech” by the theoretical contributions of Black and Decolonial Feminism; I presented Projeto Lugar de Fala’s implementation process and its steps in Female CASE; I pointed out the potentialities and the limitations of the implementation and development of Projeto Lugar de Fala related to the dynamics and institutional roles; I also discussed practical aspects related to locus of speech as a guarantee of right to be heard and to take part in the social-educational service, related to the making of the Plano Individual de Atendimento (PIA - Service Individual Plan) and the Relatório de Avaliação da Medida (RAM - Measure Evaluation Report). I did a case study and used participant observation and documentary analysis as data collection techniques. Projeto Lugar de Fala was executed in Female CASE between September 2019 and January 2020, by term of cooperation between Defensoria Pública do Estado da Bahia and Fundação da Criança e do Adolescente (FUNDAC), an agency responsible for the management of adolescent service policy in observance of social- educational measures of apprehension in the state of Bahia. I identified that the predominant profile of female teenagers and young adults in the social-educational system of Bahia is of low-educated poor black girls that present age-grading distortion. I concluded that teenagers and young adults observing the social-educational measure of apprehension don’t take active and effective part of the guiding documents of the social-educational measure, either PIA or RAM. Therefore, there is violation of the right of participation and a disagreement with Estatuto da Criança e do Adolescente, with Law n.12.594 (of 18 January 2012) and other national and international legal instruments about this subject. Finally, I point out that the concept of locus of speech, joined with the right of participation, can be used as a strategy to promote effective hearing of female teenager and young adults observing the social-educational measure of apprehension. Allied to that, I reinforce the importance of the institutionalization of projects like Projeto Lugar de Fala, emphasizing that the accomplishment of these actions, in the units dynamics, can positively influence in the execution of the social-educative measure of apprehension and the making of the guiding documents, guaranteeing an effective hearing of teenagers and young adults.

  • The Covid-19 pandemic, caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus or Novel Coronavirus, which broke out in March 2020, revealed an epidemiological crisis on a global scale, with strong social, economic, political, cultural and historical impacts, unprecedented, in the history of public health and epidemic control actions in several countries. The millions of infections and deaths have impacted health systems, revealing the most vulnerable groups in society. Mental health problems due to stress arising from fear of the risk of illness, death, confinement, shortage of medicines, food and job loss affected the general population.In Brazil, the pandemic reconfigured work practices in the health care universe, as well as social dynamics in the family, work, leisure and activism in civil society, without, frequently, breaking with the structures that influence gender relations. The health crisis in the health system required the mobilization and recruitment of thousands of professionals to act in the fight against the advance of the New Coronavirus and its harmful effects. Social workers are at the forefront of this task force. This research sought to analyze the changes in the working conditions of women social workers in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic and its impacts on their health. Inserted in the field of political-feminist theory of studies on ethics of care (Carol Gilligan, Danielle Kergoat, Helena Hirata), this research investigated how social workers dealt with the challenges to perform their functions in the pandemic scenario in the state of Bahia, among the years 2020 and 2021. In the light of the Theory of Care, the dissertation reflects on the factors that contribute to the unfeasibility and/or devaluation of social workers within the scope of labor market activities in the state of Bahia and the impacts of the pandemic on the health of these professionals. A qualitative research methodology was applied, to carry out in-depth and semi-structured online interviews with 55 social workers in total, combined with documentary research. The results showed that working conditions and emerging challenges in the Covid-19 pandemic aggravated problems that already existed in the pre-pandemic period, causing physical and mental exhaustion in professionals.It was also found that variables such as gender and race shape work relationships and act to devaluation of Social Work in Bahia, which is a predominantly female category, composed of black women who work in the sphere of care with low pay, precarious work relationships and devaluation of their professional practices. The dissertation calls for the need for further deepening of feminist studies within Social Work as a tool for transforming relationships in the socio-occupational spaces of the profession.

  • In view of the importance of the theoretical framework to which Feminist Psychology is allied and reference for thinking about gender relations and their impacts on the work carried out with women, this research aims to relate the insertion of studies on Psychology Feminist in the therapeutic work carried out with women in situations of violence, linked to to the Network to Combat Violence against Women limited to Public Policies implemented in the state of Bahia. The survey was carried out with all psychologists who work in the Centers and Nuclei of assistance to women installed in the territory of Bahia. The first chapter was built with the purpose of investigating the formative framework of psychology concerning gender studies, based on a brief historical review of training in psychology in Brazil, with special attention to the power games that exist within the fields dispute over the appropriation of psychological knowledge, with tensions of a political-ideological nature that predate the regulation of the profession in the country and that was present in the different periods of Psychology in Brazil. The text makes an incursion into the analytical debate about the quality of teaching of higher education institutions in the country, politically evaluating the public versus private relationship. The second chapter aimed to present the Policies Public policies for women in the country, the relevance of the mobilizations carried out by the feminist movements for such policies to materialize, with a focus on to the involvement and contributions of Psychology in this agenda. Finally, the last chapter focuses on the interconnections, possibilities and challenges in the encounter between feminism and psychology and shows that this field of knowledge has not yet substantially incorporated the gender discussion based on feminist studies. This thesis text defends the Psychology Feminist as an approach and proves the hypothesis that the lack of knowledge of Psychology Feminist as a theoretical instrument and the invisibility and marginality of studies of gender during training, especially in the light of feminist epistemologies, corroborate with the use of individualistic approaches of Traditional Psychology that impact on the ability qualitative approach of psychology in the psychotherapeutic work offered to those seeking help to break the cycle of violence in which they are inserted.

  • This thesis, based on feminist epistemologies, in its interface with the Social Sciences and History, intends to elucidate the feminist resistances of rural, water and forest women in Brazil organized and self-styled as Daisies. The March of Daisies is a broad action of rural women that brings together a diversity of resistance experiences in the different territories. Based on the relationship between trade unionism and feminism, it focuses on in public policies, putting pressure on governments and demanding effective responses. At Margaridas, heirs of Margarida Maria Alves, union leader murdered in Paraíba in 1983, build new routes for themselves and for the history of the movements of rural women in Brazil and Latin America, whose roots go back to the interiors of Brazil in the last decades of the 20th century and for the fights in unions, associations and in the families themselves for space, participation and autonomy over their bodies, their lives and their surroundings. from the method history, oral history and a feminist ethnography carried out in the sixth edition of the March, which took place in August 2019, and in its preparatory and evaluation, we aim to weave contemporary stories starring women rural areas – in their many features, accents and origins – whose effects are felt in the individual and collective scope in search of social justice and good living and that reflected in the construction of a political platform for Daisies and a rural feminism in Brazil.

  • The object of this investigation falls within the field of interdisciplinary studies on women, gender and feminism. Specifically in dealing with violence against women. Socio-political, economic and cultural practices have been determinant for the perpetuation of violence against women in various instances of social life, substantiated by a structure centered on patriarchal and colonialist patterns that accentuate inequalities and violations in black women. This study aims to present the critical route of violence in women's lives due to their gender condition, considering violence as a determinant of their illness. To this end, a cartographic study was carried out in an urban context in the city of Salvador/BA, represented by groups with an average of 130 women students of the Social Service course at a private institution, during the year 2018, the number is variable considering the availability of participation of women at meetings. The cartographic process relied on the observation and writing of letters as a data collection instrument, in which the experiences of each woman were the bases for the analytical production of the critical route of violence in their life cycles, demonstrating that the great villain of violence against women, patriarchy is able to model itself to the new demands of man's power, adapting to the new realities imposed by the flexible cycle of social changes

  • This thesis aims to oppose modern legal systems that favor mass incarceration, lethal violence and the subtraction of ethical resources from the African population in its diaspora. Here, we converge to the decolonial scope, promoting an introductory discussion between the intersectionality tool and the legal instruments of the philosophical cosmoperception of the Bântu, Yorubas, the Epistemology of Sàngó and the Declarations of Innocence of Ancient Egypt through the Philosophy of Maat. Indeed, we take as a locus to analyze the intersectionality of capitalist patriarchal racism, the Court of Audience of Custodia, Salvador-Bahia, in the colonial scenes and epistemic points of view of the Public Ministry, the Public Defender's Office, the Court of Justice and the Judge of Stick. From a methodological point of view, it is a qualitative-quantitative research within black feminist epistemology, proposed in works such as the thinkers Ana Flauzina, Vilma Reis, Denise Carrascosa, Carla Akotirene, Thula Pires, Luciana Boiteux, and Juliana Borges. The approach is ethnographic, with open interviews, application of semi-structured questionnaires, institutional visits, document analysis and bibliographic survey. Data analysis points to legal practices institutionalized by racism and punitive persecution of black communities. Data analysis points to legal practices institutionalized by racism and punitive persecution of black communities through prohibitionism and rampant use of electronic anklets.

  • This work discusses the connections between the productive and reproductive life of shellfish gatherer women inserted in the fishing and/or shellfish production chain in the Quilombola Community of Santiago do Iguape, located in the municipality of Cachoeira (BA). The text presents analyzes resulting from a qualitative research, composed of interviews with shellfish gatherers and an immersion in the territory of Santiago do Iguape with the objective of following the work of these women, which goes from the mangroves and extends to the houses. Based on a theoretical-methodological approach centered on the field of black and materialist feminist debates and on Marxist analyzes of slavery and racism in Brazilian social formation, the thesis describes the work of shellfish gatherers and analyzes some of its dimensions: the link between production and the tidal cycles, demarcating the working day; the relationship between memory and the body in learning shellfish capture techniques; the presence of the mangrove territory intertwining the lives that pulsate in the mud; The crossing of the house space through the stages of processing the captured species. Based on these reflections, the thesis argues that shellfish gatherer women face intermittent shifts, which reveals the sexual and racial division of labor present in the fishing and/or shellfish production chain. Likewise, it points out the lack of social protection and the precariousness of women's work, evidenced in the lack of instruments and/or tools that guarantee safety and decent working conditions, elements that reveal the absence of the state in guaranteeing public policies aimed at these workers. Furthermore, the entire argument seeks to reconstruct the broader and more destructive context of financialized capitalism, expressed especially in the attacks on traditional territories, on the bodies and lives of countless population groups, which become targets of deep exploitation and multiple violations.

  • Most research on black university professors focuses on the analysis of trajectories prior to exercising teaching in higher education, as well as the process of becoming black. Recognizing the importance of these contributions, the present research approaches the trajectory of black professors at the Federal University of Bahia (UFBA), from a black and decolonial feminist theoretical perspective, aiming to understand academic training, the choice for higher education, the exercise of the profession, professional experiences prior to joining UFBA, academic and bibliographic production, as well as understanding the influence of race in the choices of research topics and academic approaches. The methodology of this research is qualitative, with interviews and participant observation during the years 2018 and 2019, therefore, prior to the Covid-19 pandemic; and also quantitative, from the analysis of data from the curricula of the teachers available on the Lattes/CNPq Platform. The results point to the commitment to the good training of students, in general, and particularly of black students, almost always a minority in the analyzed courses, as well as special attention to the training of critical awareness of the existing inequalities in our society. All this leads to the constitution of an area/field of action for Black Feminism that we call Academic Black Feminism.

  • This thesis is the result of the second phase of #TheGangstaProject, a scientific research project on black masculinities in the Hip-Hop culture of the United States of America, this time temporally focused on the first decades of the 21st century. From a dense investigation process on the audiovisual work of rapper Kendrick Lamar, it is possible to decode and analyze the configurations of representations about black masculinities present in the narratives of Gangsta Rap video clips, a musical subgenre that subverted and redefined the iconographic system of representation of black men, a tradition inherited from the slave-holding colonial past reinvented in the American collective racial imaginary from the New Racism phenomenon. Through an intersectional theoretical-methodological perspective, established between the History and Historiography of Slavery and Post-Abolition in the United States, Black Feminist Thought, Radical Black Thought, Black African Philosophy and Arts, a sequence was developed of symbolic disassembly exercises, imagery deconstruction and cultural criticism about the series of video clips from the album To Pimp a Butterfly (2015). Activating iconographic systems as devices of domination, control, expropriation and violence of racialized and masculinized bodies and subjectivities, this thesis travels through an inter and multidisciplinary itinerary to understand the operational dynamics of representation practices, from the social markers of identification and differentiation of subjects (especially the race-gender-class triad), as well as diagnosing its effects and, above all, consequences for the politics of black masculinities in the present time.

  • This thesis is about the agency of women in the cinema of Maxakali/Tikmũ’ũn people. Through the analysis mainly of the films "Yãmĩyhex: the spirit-women" (2018, 76') and "Nũhũ Yãgmũ Yõg Hãm: Esta Terra é Nossa!" (2020, 70'), it seeks to comprehend how the maxakali cosmology and aesthetic complex influences their cinema. By dialoguing with the methodologies of film analysis and filmic ethnography, we seek to understand, in and through the films, the agency of indigenous women as part of a set of alterity relations in the daily/ritual of this people, which involves another group of "Others", the yãmĩyxop (spirit peoples), with whom the Tikmũ'ũn/Maxakali maintain an ancestral relationship. The thesis is divided into seven chapters. The first introduces the maxakali people according to their origin myths and their recent history, introducing also the women filmmaker Sueli Maxakali (co-director of the mentioned films); the second chapter is a general comment on indigenous cinema as an expression of cosmological dimensions of indigenous people through the influence of
    the "out-of-field" in the films; the third is specifically about the maxakali cinema and its connection with the concept of image (kuxex) which in maxakali language means "soul" and "image". The fourth chapter is an analysis of the film "Yãmĩyhex: the spirit-women" (2018, 76'), and makes a gender approaches of elements as fluency between ritual and daily, domestic and public in maxakali sociality, the importance of commensality and feminine shamanism among the maxakali people and how they are expressed on the film. The fifth chapter is an analysis of the film "Nũhũ Yãgmũ Yõg Hãm: This land is ours!" (2020, 70'), in which we found an expression of the binding between ritual chants, relation to the territory and the construction of person among the maxakali; also we connect the maxakali origin myth of "Putõõy" (of the woman who was born from a vagina carved in clay) to these other aspects, which leads us to glimpse a cosmopolitics of the earth in the film. The sixth chapter
    deals with sensory elements in Maxakali cinema, in which we analyze how visuality in films is connected with sound and a tactile sensoriality, expressing in Tikmũ'ũn cinema the multisensory dynamics of Tikmũ'ũn cosmology. And, finally, in the final chapter, we start with a reflection in the scope of feminist studies, inspired by the way bodies and "nature" cross the films, and we propose to review a separation, in feminist theory, between nature and culture as founding reflections on gender; we point, then, to a feminist theory that is situated in dialogue with the Latin America's Amerindian and indigenous thought. This theory is being woven by indigenous women - with their art, political and academic reflections - and has epistemological bases that dialogue with feminist anthropology inspired by the ontological turn of this science in recent decades. With the cinema thrown in the midst of the dynamics of Tikmũ'ũn sociality, the filmic texture is touched by the encounters that occur in the Tikmũ'ũn cosmos, by the relationships with the yãmĩyxop and by a perception of the earth as central to the consubstantiality of the Tikmũ'ũn person. The Tikmũ'ũn/Maxakali cinema thus expresses a myth-praxis that integrates Tikmũ'ũn daily life and rituals, involves a series of careful acts that build and maintain the Tikmũ'ũn/Maxakali person and collectivity, which are also carried out by women.

  • The Compulsory Notification of Violence in Healthcare is an important instrument for the visibility of cases of violence against women seen in public health. Through Law 10.778/2003, the Ministry of Health establishes that any health professional is responsible for compulsorily notifying the cases attended to or suspected of violence in the various units organized by the municipalities in three levels of complexity. From the registration of these notifications and the treatment given by the system, it is possible to have a profile of this grievance as well as to signal to the public powers the investment of human and financial resources to be employed in order to elaborate strategies of prevention, assistance, and promotion towards the elimination of all forms of violence against women in Brazil. The present study, therefore, emerges as an unfolding of the research on the notification in the municipality of Salvador, finalized in 2017 that points in the direction of gender transversality and training of professionals and, in this thesis, with emphasis on the field of Social Work. The research topic is the compulsory notification of violence against women, emphasizing as a problem to be investigated the underreporting of this record taking as a starting point the analysis of the disciplinary structure and pedagogical proposals of the undergraduate courses of health professionals and pointing as a proposal to present contributions to the professional training of the categories involved in the notification of cases of violence against women who are assisted in the locus of health care, with a focus on Social Work. The general objective of this study was to analyze the curricular structure of the courses for the formation of health professionals, considering the contents and pedagogical strategies in the direction of gender, race, class and violence issues, and to point out the contributions for the reduction of violence and approximation of the social and political rights of women, focusing on the Social Service course. Using the documental research of the Pedagogical Project of the Course in an Institution of Higher Education, in the face-to-face modality, with qualitative approach of the data under the lenses of the feminist epistemology. Data were found to be aligned with the guidelines determined by the Brazilian Association for Teaching and Research in Social Service (ABEPSS), with a compulsory discipline in the curriculum with a profile that points in the direction of important discussions present in the thesis in order to contribute to contemporary professional training in line with the Ethical and Political Project of Social Service, which mirrors the project of society that aims towards the human rights of women.

  • This thesis analyzes the performance of the Filhas da Caridade in Salvador, between 1853 and 1914. Within a historical and social perspective, the sources lead to the approach of elements of the critical analysis of the discourses produced by the hierarchy of the Catholic Church and Santa Casa de Misericórdia Bahia, where patriarchal gender relations are used as a category for discussions on the construction of power analogies for women and men. The Confraria da Caridade was one of those founded by Luísa de Marillac and São Vicente de Paulo in France in the 17th century. They became sisters of apostolic life, that is, of active life, and started to work in different spaces, in the care of education, health and assistance to the poor and quickly expanded in Bahian lands. They had the support of the bishops of the Catholic reform, as was the case of Dom Romualdo, in defense of the project of the ultramontane bishops; liberals, however, did not miss the opportunity to criticize them and were uncomfortable with the power exercised by them in Santa Casa. Employees of Misericórdia in the administration of the Recolhimento do Santo Nome de Jesus, Asilo dos Expostos and others, were not always the desired submissive nuns, dedicated exclusively to charity by the said feminine nature, they pressured the patriarchy by disagreeing with providers, police authorities and doctors . Sister Rassier was for thirty years the superior who was in charge of the most important unit of the institution: the Hospital da Caridade, and there, she did not stop straining her hierarchy, taking different attitudes from what was established for her by her gender and documented in the regulations and contract. Hence the understanding that everyone pressures power in some way, regardless of their results.

  • This thesis analyzes the trajectories of peasant women at the Federal University of Recôncavo da Bahia, entering the course of Degree in Rural Education - Agricultural Sciences in the period from 2013 to 2020. With their ways of life, they lead the peasant and female struggle, their flags, work instruments, swollen and machete to rewrite other narratives within the academy, bringing their writings and causing ruptures in the social structures demarcated by the oppression of gender, race, class and the historical violence of the latifundia in Brazil. Upon entering the university, rural women seek not only the mere reproduction of academic knowledge, but the first desire to legitimize the knowledge that their ancestors carry. For these women, more than entering higher education, they also start to write their own stories and build political identities. Based on the methodological support of (auto)biographical Narratives, we analyzed the trajectories of these women based on their narratives. This study is part of the field of feminist research, as in addition to giving centrality to peasant women, making their trajectories and experiences visible, it contributes to the significant discussion about feminism and gender relations with a focus on the presence of women in the university and in Education from Camp. Thus, in this thesis it was concluded that the insertion of rural women in the University can be considered as a strategy of the struggle for land, and a project of female emancipation through Rural Education.

  • How does the spatial organization of modern social housing affect the idea of female exclusivity in carrying out household chores? This dissertation starts from this questioning to investigate the influence of the sexual division of labor in the production and in the modes of use and appropriation of the modern domestic space in social housing complex, proposing a critical feminist analysis of the morphological properties of the following architectural objects that present collectives spaces of domestic services: Mendes de Moraes complex, popularly known as Pedregulho (Afonso Reidy and Carmem Portinho, 1946-1953), in Rio de Janeiro, Armando de Arruda complex, known as Japurá (Eduardo Kneese de Melo, 1947), in São Paulo, and Salvador complex, popularly titled as IAPI (Hélio Cavalcanti Uchoa, 1948), built in the city of Salvador. This investigation shows that the appropriation of the domestic space and the housing architectural production are elements influenced (and that also reproduce) by the social relations of sex. Social reproduction, understood as the reproduction of the workforce and the support of daily life, is largely anchored in the unpaid work of women in the private sphere and cannot be left out of the debate on the design process, nor on the elaboration of domestic spaces. In view of the few reflections on the theme, this dissertation intends to collaborate in the debate on the correlations between the dynamics of social relations of sex and architectural housing production. In the context in which they are inserted, syntactic studies, associated with the feminist perspective, confirmed the textual prerogatives for modern housing units and revealed that the simple fact of being a woman induces a different occupation and appropriation of spaces, since the dynamics that involve the sexual division of labor structure the morphology of social housing.

  • In this work, reflections on psychological violence are presented, understanding the importance of conceptualization for the recognition and necessary confrontation of this type of violence so common in our society. It raises questions about the extent to which the concept is still little explored in an interdisciplinar way and even in Psychology. It is also considered as embryonic, the approach of Psychology with studies on women from a gender perspective. It is constituted as an interdisciplinary study crossing the areas of Psychology, Human Rights and Gender due to personal experience in working with women in situations of violence as a psychologist working in the Justice System. It was decided to explore, based on qualitative research, the concept of psychological violence and its perception through an interview with three psychologists with experience in assisting women in situations of violence, seeking to understand their professional experiences and coping strategies in order to relate data with the literature about the theme through literature review on the theme and with the approaches brought by the Federal Council of Psychology and Regional Council of Psychology of Bahia. It is concluded that, for the interviewees and in accordance with the explored literature, psychological violence is very frequent, with socio-cultural influences, it presents itself in a primary way, propelling other violence and often presented in an overlapping way. It was understood that the difficulties related to theoretical conceptualization mirror the dynamics inherent to this type of violence: routine, difficult to perceive, ambivalent, easy to trivialize and social “passability”, which reflects the difficulty in recognition and coping. It is understood, however, that it is possible from a committed psychological action, to fight and create strategies to restructure subjectivities.

  • Statistics points out that transsexuals in Brazil have a life expectancy of 35 years. Every 24 hours a transsexual and transvestite woman is murdered in the country, but this data refers to white transsexuals. For brown and black women this average life is reduced to 27 years, which accentuates her place of vulnerability. When reflecting on the history and life expectancy of the trans black population, it is essential to highlight the effect of racism and transphobia on their trajectories. Therefore, we cannot think of racism and transphobia as isolated phenomena in these bodies - it is necessary to analyze in an intersectional perspective that emphasizes the crossing of social markers that place these subjects in another position, in order to reflect on the constructions of genders and bodies in a trans and racial perspective. To help intertwine intersectional theory and life trajectories, this work presents stories of four black trans women who report their experiences from childhood to adulthood, marked by episodes of racism, transphobia - or how they report, being beaten without even knowing why. To examine the narratives, analysis of discourse was used, which allowed to explore my collaborators' statements a little more. This research presents as a result the violence experienced in all stages of life and its daily life, the effects of violence, the low life expectancy and projection of the future. Although, their narratives exhibit women who promote the social differential by changing social structures and who diverge from the place that our society, imbricated with marked social structures, expects transsexual and transvestite women to occupy.

  • From my own positionality as a gay black cisgender men who practices the religion of Candomblé and is a child of the peripheral, working-class Subúrbio Ferroviário region of the city of Salvador, Brazil, I believe that the debates around diversity in the context of school can contribute to a broader understanding of different ways of life for youth. When I look to the past, I see that I wove a clandestine path, one of much suffering, where I effaced desires and freedoms for the sake of a supposed “acceptance,” discipline, and honor to socially established moral principles due to the need to be seen as adequate and to belong to the “production of true men and women.” Departing from this subjective reflection and through fieldwork, I perceived how the questions of territoriality produce distinct experiences among young black and/or LGBT students from working-class regions of Brazil’s capital cities, who deal with their bodies and affectivities via insurgent perspectives within community spaces. The objective of this dissertation is to understand, through ethnography, the intertwining of gender, sexualities, and black masculinities in students’ experiences in school in the Subúrbio Ferroviário in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil. Analyzing the school experiences of these young people allowed me to expand a reflection about the coping strategies that they used, contributing to an understanding that the school space can be a place for sociability and discoveries. The school that I studied was not only a context for the transmission of formal knowledge, but, principally, a domain where affective-sexual (con)fusions occur, foretelling plural and fluid plans by youth for (re)existence.

  • The present research proposes to understand the way in which the maternity of women who committed criminalized conduct while they were pregnant and / or mothers of children under 12 years old, is perceived by actors of the justice system when they demand house arrest supported by the legislation regarding their condition. This is a documentary analysis that has as corpus some legal proceedings against women who were arrested in the prison unit of Salvador, Bahia, in the period from 2017 to 2019. In the light of conceptual lenses from black feminism and from the theory based on data, observe how the referred maternity is conceived by the juridical/judicial voices, considering the manifestations of the defense, prosecutors and judges in the records of judicial proceedings. It was observed that there is an overvaluation of house arrest as an alternative measure to deprivation of liberty, even though its restrictive character and the permanence of the deleterious impacts of any type of prison on the life of the woman and her entire family are evident. Notwithstanding, numerous resistances to the granting of the measure were also observed, expressed in punitivist speeches that, often, create and justify the various obstacles to the application of the law expressly provided for cases like these. The results point both to an invocation of notions of socially idealized maternity, which enclose women in the domestic environment and in traditional gender roles, as well as to approaches that deny, contrario sensu, the relevance of the maternal presence in living with the child, associating this specific type of maternity and maternity to situations of danger and possibilities of bad influence for his / her own daughters. In general, the research showed that the perceptions of the various actors in the justice system regarding the maternity/maternity of women deprived of their liberty, notably those who fight for the fundamental right to family life and the exercise of care for their children, reproduce stereotypes, prejudices and selectivities typical of society in general and legitimized by public security and criminal justice systems in our country, which also contributes to the maintenance of structural and structural inequalities, strongly grounded in class-based systems of oppression, racist, sexist and heteropatriarchal.

  • Show Abstract
  • As they question the oppressions historically legitimized by western science as absolute truths, gender studies have presented themselves as a threat to the maintenance of order and dominant privilege, which has caused such studies to suffer numerous attacks, especially from the spread of the so-called "gender ideology". This speech begins to gain greater prominence with the UN World Conferences and initially has the ultraconservative wing of the Catholic Church as the main propagator. In Brazil, it has greater prominence with the discussions of the National Education Plan, from 2010. In this period also gains visibility the School without Party Movement, from attacks on political-ideological positions involving gender studies. It is, with the objective of analyzing the attacks based on the “gender ideology” carried out by the School without Party to gender studies, that this work arises. For this purpose, it was intended: to discuss the concept of "gender ideology" constructed/appropriated by fundamentalists, as opposed to the concept present in the Feminist Study on gender ideology; identify how and in what world scenario is constructed the idea or discourse about "gender ideology"; map how the School Without Party Movement emerges, appropriates and disseminates such discourse in Brazil; and, finally, to analyze how attacks around "gender ideology" by the School without Party are manifested against gender studies and their consequences. From the analytical categories Gender, Ideology and Moral, based on feminist epistemologies, from the "standpoint theory", a bibliographic review was carried out, with a qualitative approach, using elements of Critical Discourse Analysis. The results of this research point to a vast production on the theme, indicating that the phenomenon of the anti-gender agenda has mobilized different fronts of reflection and action. It was identified that such attacks are part of a transnational phenomenon and that Education becomes a space of interest of these "crusaders" because it is a space of ideological and epistemological dispute important for the maintenance and/or tensioning of the status quo. In Brazil, ESP becomes one of the main articulating and mobilizing agents of the anti-gender agenda in schools and universities – mainly from the School Without Party Program Bill, moralizing and conservative. It was identified that because of the persecution and threats generated, especially from these PLs, an insecurity is created around the possibility of teachers to discuss themes around gender studies in the classroom. In addition, such anti-democratic speeches and proposals helped elect Jair Bolsonaro who has transformed the School without Party and, especially the anti-gender agenda, on its most different fronts, into a government proposal. Despite the attempt at censorship and attacks, it was also possible to realize that feminist, LGBTQIA+, anti-racist and progressive movements have created resistance strategies.

  • This is a work on abortion in the curriculum of the technical course in nursing at the Federal Institute of Bahia - Campus Barreiras. An interdisciplinary research that articulates feminist theories, critical curriculum theories, nursing, reproductive rights, professional health education, dialectical historical materialism and materialist discourse analysis theory. It is a case study, mobilized by the question: what does the curriculum of this Nursing Technician course say about humanized care for women undergoing abortion? The general objective was to understand the curriculum of the Nursing Technician course at the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Bahia - Campus Barreiras, with a focus on humanized care for women undergoing abortion, with specific objectives: 1. To analyze the Pedagogical Project of Technical Course in Nursing at IFBA - Campus Barreiras; 2. Investigate how the dimensions of gender, race, class and abortion are included in the curriculum of the Technical Course in Nursing at IFBA - Campus Barreiras; 3. Identify discourses about women and reproduction in the curriculum of the Technical Course in Nursing at IFBA - Campus Barreiras through professors. I understand the curriculum as a multi-determined political artifact, the result of historical production and, in this research, the determinations of gender, race and class were prioritized. I defend the relevance of such research on abortion as it is a serious public health problem, is related to reproductive autonomy and is a social taboo. The work analyzes the Pedagogical Project of the Technical Course of the Secondary Level in Nursing at the IFBA - Campus Barreiras, highlighting the concepts of society, health, work, education and pedagogy in the document; the profile of the graduate of the course; the design of curriculum and whether abortion is a knowledge to be taught, locating the curriculum as a political artifact and the relevance of critical curriculum theory and anti-racist feminist theories for analysis. Via approximations with dialectical historical materialism, it presents possible articulations in capitalism between the criminalization of abortion and the reproductive control of women; of racism and patriarchy as dehumanizing resources that reinforce such controls; the development of modern science as an epistemological field and object of feminist critique of the sciences; the emergence and consolidation of modern nursing and its expansion in Brazil, highlighting the Mid-Level Technician course in Nursing and Professional Education in health. Finally, the data produced in the virtual focus group with professors of the investigated course are analyzed, as well as the discourses on women, reproduction, abortion and the link between nursing as a profession associated with women. Abortion is not included as knowledge in the formal curriculum, but is part of teaching as a theme present in everyday life and not denied by teachers; it is treated in some curricular components of the course and its teaching is permeated above all by a moralizing ethics. Despite shifts in the discourse on women and reproduction, there is a predominant maternal-infant conception and requires greater attention due to the implications in the reproductive health of women, especially black working-class women.

  • Talking about women is a choice that goes through our pain, it is licking open wounds for generations, it is looking at the callused feet of ancestors, the heavy loins of our equals, calming uterus raging by violations, sewn mouths, dry tears, tarnished souls, but, above all, it is knowing that each scar is an eminently political writing. This work sought to shed light on an issue in the daily life of black working women who use public transport in a context of health and social crisis. With the COVID19 pandemic, economic and social difficulties were added and the episodes of violence against women were exacerbated. Public transport was considered one of the spaces with the greatest transmission of the virus. Allied to this was the precipitation of the service crisis, showing the fragility of the policy, its structurally racist and sexist characteristics, as well as the inefficiency of guaranteeing quality socially accessible mobility. From this point of view, the objectives of this study were to understand to what extent the current Urban Mobility Policy in Brazil, especially in Salvador, has impacted on the mental health of low-income black women workers, who during the covid-19 pandemic could not stay in isolation, as they developed their work formally or informally, far from their homes. In this nebulous path, but also (because of this) unprecedented, Identify the mobility conditions for a group of low-income black women who remained working outside the home during the Covid-19 pandemic in Salvador; Analyze the perception and experiences of these women about their conditions of urban mobility; To map, in the narratives of low-income black women workers, their views on how urban mobility contributes to mental health during a pandemic; Reflect on socially accessible mobility and women's right to the city. This is a Narrative Research, based on Feminist epistemologies, which is based on a bibliographical study to build the theoretical framework in which race, gender, territory, social class intersect as socio-economic determinants of mental health. Flower women were able to express their voices silenced by the naturalization of social suffering through their narratives about urban mobility, whose analyzed elements led to institutional violence against women, perpetrated by the inefficiency of politics, by insecurity, by the constant presence of sexual harassment, by violence psychological as a silencing resource and everyday gender racial micro aggressions. From their active voices, it was possible to conclude affirming the relationship between mobility, public transport and the mental health of black women and the urgency of this debate for psychology in Brazil and for social and public management policies.

  • This study presents reflections on the implications between race, gender and emotions in the process of permanence of black women in situations of domestic violence. With qualitative methodology, the study started from the constructive-interpretative method to build and interpret the information, it also used feminist theories of gender and race, studies on race and the theory of subjectivity of historical-cultural psychology to make an interdisciplinary reading about the phenomenon. Conversations were held with two black women, cis-gender, without daughters, the ex-partner of the relationship in which she lived domestic violence, financially independent, who resided in the interior of the State of Bahia. The data were analyzed using the constructive-interpretative method, through the instruments "conversational systems" and "sentence complement", which were elaborated according to the research objectives. The cycle of violence can be seen as an important tool to highlight the emotional aspects involved in the dynamics of relationships with domestic violence, which, together with the concepts of gender and race, possibly constitute the affective bonds within these relationships. It is noteworthy that among women, black women are in a situation of greater vulnerability due to the intersection of sexism and racism still present in our society. Literature points out that staying in the cycle of violence negatively affects women's lives and their mental health, denouncing the situation of extreme social and emotional vulnerability where they find themselves. It was concluded that the difficult decision to break the cycle involves a variety of aspects that constitute domestic violence, where there is a search for acceptance and affection on the part of these women, since in their lives there is little or no offer of love, which makes them more vulnerable. Breaking with the logic of white romantic-bourgeois love and building ways of loving and forming a community based on African values is a possible path to combat the experience of this violence in the lives of black women.

  • This dissertation, articulated around field ethnographies, gain new perspectives on black women and rhythms associated with samba and pagode. Taking the concept of the music scene as a space of sound belonging, on the outskirts of Salvador we find the wall and the pagode, seen by most people as just an expression of leisure when, in fact, they are the central locus of black protagonism. Understanding these environments of pagoda and wall as places of participation and protagonism for black women on the outskirts of Salvador, it is noted that various facets of their trajectories, such as religiosity, economic subsistence, family belonging and the inter-generational encounter, congregate there. they. Black women throughout history have been protagonists of their lives in a context of racism and sexism, in which even in the feminist field they still faced barriers. This research shows how, beyond feminist theory, black women have been weaving learning networks in different sectors of life, including events at these rhythms.

  • In this work we analyse how the socio-historical possibility conditions, positionalities and dispositions of productivity in research (PR) grant recipients constituted different trajectories and strategies to acquire scientific capital and, as such, recognition in the academic career. Therefore, from the intersectional articulation of gender, race/ethnicity, social class and generation, this study evaluates data from UFBa regarding PR grant recipients, comparing them with national data, generated from the database of the funding agency. We also analyse the life trajectories of PR grant recipients, obtained from their memorials, questionnaires and in depth interviews. The data shows the flagrant inequality of gender that still keeps women, during the studied period, with just a third of the available grants, a scenario that is aggravated when we consider each grant category alone. Additionally, the data indicate that the crossover of the several oppression systems result in singular and distinct trajectories that favor the entrance and progression of a still diminutive set of women

  • This thesis, developed in the Postgraduate Program in Interdisciplinary Studies on Women, Gender and Feminisms (PPGNEIM) at the Federal University of Bahia (UFBA), offers a reflective analysis on the educational policy of Salvador, using the concept of social justice from the perspective of participatory parity in social life, especially in the dimension of (cultural-symbolic) recognition. It is based on Nancy Fraser's theories (2007a; 2007b; 2009), to investigate how the subjective identities of gender and race are represented and/or thought of in the National Education Plan - PNE (2014/2024, Law no. 13005, of june 25, 2014) and in the Municipal Education Plan - PME in Salvador/BA (2016/2026, Law no. 9105/2016). In this thesis, my objective is to analyze whether gender and race in Salvadoran educational policy are an exercise in social justice, making use of qualitative research of bibliographic and documental nature. The methodological path was based on an interdisciplinary approach of perspectivist feminism, the construction of the analytical category "recognition", which in turn was anchored in the four dimensions formulated by Joan Scott (1995; SAFFIOTI, 1992) regarding the constitution of the concept of gender, considering them also as dimensions of the concept of race, namely: symbolic, normative, institutional and subjective. The text is divided into two parts, structured into six chapters. Part I includes the first four chapters in which I characterize the object and discuss the theoretical approach. Part II – “the heart of the thesis” – formed by the last two chapters (5 and 6), I present and analyze the research findings. Indeed, the results show that: the way in which Educational Plans are structured and systematized (strict, technical and general), gender and race are not recognized categories, and, therefore, we cannot consider them as exercises of social justice from the perspective of gender and race. This is because, in these documents, the discussion of gender is absent (deprecated) and that of race is emptied (failed).

  • The reproductive autonomy of quilombola women is a theme that does not encompass studies and research in the area, particularly in terms of understanding the participation of partners in these women's reproductive choices. This research is part of an umbrella project composed of four doctoral studies on reproductive autonomy of quilombola women and rural workers in the states of Bahia and Pernambuco. The study in question aims to fill the existing gap regarding gender, race and health studies with quilombola women in the field of studies in sexual and reproductive health. This investigation had as general objective to analyze the reproductive autonomy of women and the participation of the partners in their reproductive choices, and specific: to characterize the quilombola women regarding the social, sexual and reproductive profile of the communities of Giral Grande and Porto da Pedra; identify social, economic, cultural and family aspects that influence the choices and reproductive autonomy of quilombola women; discuss the participation of partners in the reproductive choices of quilombola women. The research was carried out with 60 quilombola women of adult reproductive age between 18 and 49 years old, with reproductive experience, who already had or have partners, in two rural quilombola communities of Giral Grande and Porto da Pedra, located in the Municipality of Maragogipe in the Recôncavo Baiano . This is a quantitative study of an analytical, observational, cross-sectional epidemiological nature. For the analysis of the data collected, descriptive statistical procedures were used to express the results as absolute and relative frequencies, means, medians, standard deviations (SD), interquartile ranges (AIQ), minimum and maximum values. Data normality was measured using the Shapiro-Wilk and Kolmogorov-Smirnov tests, while homoscedasticity was tested using the Levene test. Comparisons between two groups were performed using the Mann-Whitney or Student t tests for independent samples, while comparisons between three groups were performed using the Kruskal-Wallis test or one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). Spearman and Pearson correlations were used to verify associations between age and reproductive autonomy. The significance level adopted in the study was 5% (α = 0.05) and all analyzes were performed using IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows (IBM SPSS. 21.0, 2012, Armonk, NY: IBM Corp.). The research results demonstrate that quilombola women from the territory of Guaí, Maragogipe, presented high reproductive autonomy, especially in the domains of decision-making and absence of coercion. Women who declared themselves black had greater reproductive autonomy related to “absence of coercion”, compared to women of other colors/races. Working in the autonomous condition negatively impacted the general reproductive autonomy of quilombola women. The experiences of pregnancy and childbirth were factors associated with lower reproductive autonomy in the constructs “absence of coercion”, “communication” and “total reproductive autonomy”.

  • This thesis investigates the experience of motherhood of women-mothers who use psychoactive substances, in a context of vulnerabilities. The theoretical-methodological horizon was based on feminist theoretical approaches, with contributions from black feminist epistemology, especially the Intersectional Theory and the perspective of Reproductive Justice, associated with the Theoretical Framework of Vulnerability. The empirical material of the thesis was produced between July 2019 and February 2020, in the Program Run pro Abraço of the Government of the State of Bahia, through the use of elements of feminist ethnography, intertwined with the resources of individual and group interviews. These strategies aimed to approach women-mothers who use psychoactive substances, in a context of vulnerabilities. For the examination of the research corpus, the Foucaultian discourse analysis was used. The research aimed to analyze how women-mothers who use psychoactive substances in a context of vulnerability narrate and experience the experience of motherhood and what meanings they attribute to it. The analyzes allowed us to problematize the construction of an idealized maternity based on a universalizing white reference that integrates a logic of dehumanization of black women-mothers in situations of vulnerability. I emphasize the personal, social and institutional violence suffered mainly as a result of racism, constituted, according to Foucault, by a definition of profiles whose specific effect would be the election of those who "let themselves live and let die", marking a power strategy, whose function it would be to elect or subordinate human beings according to their race, highlighting the technologies of control over reproduction, shaping different situations of oppression. The analyzes indicate that the reproductive rights that circumscribe maternity need to be integrated with other rights; namely: housing, work, education, food, health, among others. In this sense, the absence of specific public policies that reach this audience produces personal, social and institutional vulnerabilities, (re)producing the cultural effect of naming a “deviant maternity”. That said, it can be said that motherhood considered deviant says more about the negligence of the State and Society than the “inability” of these women to generate motherhood. Thus, a sensitive look at the speeches of the women-mothers and the interviewed professionals allowed them to "find" clues regarding the naturalization of the relationship between motherhood, PAS use in a context of vulnerabilities and the various obliterations of rights that women-mothers are exposed. The research intended to denaturalize and show some of these types of violence that are still active in culture, which contribute to its maintenance in institutional spaces and make it difficult to scale a specific demand for care. It demonstrates, among other findings, the need for public policies of intersectoral support to maternity, in order to make it a possible choice to be experienced, in a dignified and safe way. Also highlighted is the redimensioning of female autonomy and protagonism, in relation to reproductive issues, directly linked to the conditions of their community, therefore beckoning the guarantee of individual and collective human rights.

  • The production of women, gender and feminisms studies and their intersection with race and racism studies has enabled the formation of critical, anti-racist and anti-sexist knowledge within universities. This study aimed to verify the incidence of the production of women, gender and feminisms studies and its intersection with race and racism studies in graduate courses at the Universidade Federal da Bahia (UFBA). To this end, the productions of theses and dissertations from twelve UFBA Postgraduate Programs defended between 2004 and 2018 were surveyed, totaling 3,753 productions. The main source of data for the research was the Capes online theses and dissertations catalog. It was possible to verify an increase in studies on women, gender and feminisms in UFBA's postgraduate programs, especially the Postgraduate Program in Estudos Interdisciplinares sobre Mulheres, Gênero e Feminismo, which presented a considerable production in the field of intersection, making thus an important space for generating anti-sexist and anti-racist research within the university

Within all above-mentioned dimensions, we analyze the intersectionalities of oppression experienced by the leader Dona Derina, which decisively mark her life, as well as the actions that allow her to subvert the order imposed by the patriarchy, empower herself and seek gender equity, thus highlighting the importance of cultural manifestations for the visibility of excluded groups and faith as a driving force for the continuity of traditions. The documentary corpus, whose research efforts go especially through feminist studies and popular culture, is made up of oral and written sources. In order to capture the complexity and dynamism of the related to the Reisado and her leader's history, it was necessary to use qualitative methodologies, such as oral narrative and interviews

  • Reconciling maternity and scientific career is a difficult task for women, making it even harder for black women. Among the problems faced, the constitution of modern science has excluded women from scientific work in a social context that confines mothers to the domestic environment and black women to servitude. Thus, black mother women have accumulated in their academic career numerous disadvantages resulting from the intersections between multiple forms of oppression. Therefore, this paper aims to analyze the academic trajectory of black students from postgraduate courses at the Federal University of Bahia, identifying black women and mothers at different postgraduate courses at the Federal University of Bahia and investigating possible care networks. and strategies that make it possible for these black students to stay in their courses; It also analyzes how motherhood has been interpreted by the sciences and how it has historically shaped itself. understanding about the impact of motherhood on the tasks related to the university / academic daily life of these university mothers; and understand how they deal with the relationships of autonomy and authority within and outside the university academic environment. For this, triangulation of the methods of collection by e-survey and semi-structured interviews that underwent content analysis and critical discourse analysis were performed. Even though they enjoy a high level of education, these black mothers still face problems faced by the black population in general, demonstrating that the racist structure still affects the trajectory of the black person of any socioeconomic level. On the other hand, it was noted that even after many advances in the achievement of rights of university women, motherhood during postgraduate training still imposes difficulties for these women who develop strategies to remain and constitute their scientific career.

It aims to carry out an analysis of the complex of relationships between human rights and art, observing how artistic practice and its political power in the Mujeres Creando group dialogues with women's rights and overcoming violence in a multidisciplinary perspective. To achieve this goal, a qualitative investigation of an exploratory/explanatory nature is carried out through bibliographic research, analysis of interviews, manifests, reports, images and audiovisual records. Documentary and netnographic analysis methods will be used based on the artistic work of the Mujeres Creando group available on the internet. The look of this work starts from non-universalist, feminist, anti-racist and decolonial epistemologies. The artistic work carried out by the Mujeres Creando group is characterized as a pedagogical and decolonial instrument for the analysis of women's human rights.

  • This dissertation presents results of research developed with market women from Teixeira de Freitas-Ba. Our main objective was to analyze, from the intra-gender relationship, how the reproductive intentions of some women were or were not influenced by the relationship with their mothers and how this influence mediated their reproductive experiences. To construct our analysis, we dialogue with Gender and Generation theories elaborated especially by Scott (1990) and Britto da Motta (2010), respectively. In addition to these, the studies by Cláudia Andrade (2012) on Generational Similarities and Intergenerational Transmission, as well as the works of Botton et al. (2012) on Parental Roles in Families where they analyze transgenerational and gender aspects. We also rely on the studies by Scaffo (2013) on the psychic generational transmission of gender protocols and the theoretical construction on the Reproductive Autonomy category by Upadhyay et al. (2014). Our theoretical apparatus on reproductive autonomy and reproductive decision-making assumes self-efficacy as the belief in women's ability to decide and control contraceptive use, pregnancy and motherhood. From these insights we also sought to investigate the decision-making power of mothers and daughters to know who has the main word about their reproductive life and to understand the ability of these women to communicate with the influential people in their lives and seek to know if they are comfortable talking about such issues. The study and practice of reproductive autonomy are fundamental to the exercise of sexual and reproductive rights. For example, having autonomy in this regard means that women can control whether and when to become pregnant, if and when to practice contraception, and which method to use and if and when to continue the pregnancy. Our results suggest that intergenerational transmission operates directly when it corresponds to the influence of mothers' values and attitudes on daughters through family socialization processes. Daughters tend to model their behavior based on their coexistence with their mothers, as they tend to imitate their mothers 'behavior more than their parents', given what is expected, allowed and consented to their role, especially in relation to reproductive decision or, as in all cases that are presented, acceptance and coexistence with the demands defined by their social gender role. In practical and theoretical terms we point to the need for male incorporation in reproductive issues and highlight the usefulness of the gender category in the analysis of social relations between men and women.

  • This dissertation involves the interdisciplinary analysis of violent self-defense as a way of survival for battered women, based on a feminist anti-racist paradigm, tensioning its relationship with the State and the Criminal Justice System. What is the relation between the State's ineffectiveness in combating domestic violence against women and the use of violent self-defense? To answer this question, I analyzed the cases of four black women who killed their abusive partners in Bahia, selected from data provided by Female Penitentiary of Salvador/BA between 2012 and 2019. With a qualitative and multi-referential approach, using the semi-structured interviews conducted with three of the participants as a standpoint to direct the bibliographic review, the collection of relevant quantitative data and, at the end, the analysis of the judicial records of each of the selected women as well as the direct observation of the jury session of one of the cases. I begin the path through the intersectional analysis of the dynamics of conjugal violence, questioning the plastering of women in the role of passive victims and the explanation provided by learned helplessness theory for the use of lethal self-defense, then move to the examination of the State as co-responsible for the persistence of conjugal violence against women, to finally arrive at the legal treatment given by the Criminal Justice System to the cases of battered women who killed their abusive partners.. The results suggest the need for an anti-racist and decolonial feminist theory of the right to self-defense.

  • This dissertation analyzes central elements linked to the representation of women in local politics in the city of Condeúba / BA, based on bibliographic research and semi-structured interviews. Municipal politics is generally the gateway to public life, and particularly, it proves to be the most accessible way for women to enter politics. However, female under-representation persists at the municipal, state, and federal levels in Brazil. Laws of affirmative actions for the insertion of women in politics, such as the policy of quotas in parties for legislative positions, emerged in the 1990s. Recently, Superior Courts decided, after consultation by the female parliamentarian, to provide legal guarantees in the distribution of campaign resources to candidates, in order to make the electoral dispute as equal as possible, with regards to gender. Despite these actions, there are still many challenges in what concerns the presence of women in spaces of formal power. In my research, I sought to identify, through interviews, how women participate in politics in this Condeúba. In the case of a small municipality in the interior of Bahia, what is equal or different from a larger city, or the state, when it comes to the reasons that lead women to engage in politics, run as candidates, be elected, and remain in public life? The literature points out that financial resources are important to favor success in the electoral dispute, which harms women who are the ones who manage to raise fewer resources. But would the dynamic be the same in a municipality with less than 25 thousand inhabitants? I followed an investigation line to understand and problematize issues like these. Finally, I concluded that many of the problems and challenges that women face in public life at the state and federal levels, and also, at the municipal level of larger urban centers, are also faced by women in Condeúba - with particularities arising from a small municipality with an extensive rural area. The stereotypes that still exist about women, the low level of funding, the resistance of political parties, the difficult political engagement of women due to their socialization, the ineffectiveness of the quota policy, and so on, present themselves as major challenges for overcoming the sub-representation of women in politics and the achievement of gender parity in Condeúba, as well as in Bahia and Brazil.

  • The study aimed to understand discursive manifestations about gender within the scope of Psychology in Salvador, Bahia. Therefore, it was intended, based on the articulation between gender relations, discourse and Psychology, to analyze speeches about gender by psychologists in activity, highlighting the perception of these professionals about gender relations and their possible impact on the exercise of science and profession. Theoretical contributions include feminist epistemological thinking, especially the ideas of Sandra Harding and Donna Haraway, as well as authors from the field of Feminist Psychology such as Alexandra Rutherford, Phyllis Chesler, Conceição Nogueira, Grada Kilomba, Valeska Zanello, among others The methodology used is qualitative and is described as exploratory and descriptive field research. Data collection took place using a virtual form and the Focal Group (FG) technique in remote mode. Regarding the data analysis procedure, we opted for the Critical Discourse Analysis (ADC) by Norman Fairclough. The collected data revealed a strong interest of psychologists in the theme of gender, especially in aspects of gender identity, sexuality and LGBTI population. However, the participants of this research indicated little theoretical appropriation, lack of contact during graduation, and professional practice as the main inviting locus for the approximation between psychology and gender studies. However, the participants of this research indicated little theoretical appropriation, lack of contact during graduation, and professional practice as the main inviting locus for the approximation between psychology and gender studies. As evidenced in the theoretical contribution, the psychologists also confirmed the still lack of knowledge about Feminist Psychology, even if they declare themselves feminists, and attested points to be developed in order that gender is, in fact, considered a formal category in Psychology.

  • In this research, I investigate the political, economic and ideological regime of heterosexuality to understand the subjective and everyday impact produced in women's lives. I begin from the understanding that heterosexuality is imposed through physical, mental, economic and moral constraints, making it difficult to criticize and break it. Therefore, I seek to understand how and why women are heterosexualized, as well as the determinations and circumstances that explain the experience and assimilation of heterosexuality by women in conflict with it. In particular, it is interesting to analyze how women dispute and mediate with the heterosexual regime in order to, in the center of its imposition, build the path that makes it possible to get out of it.

  • The proposal unfolds through the interest in expanding scientific debates and productions about the experiences of transgender women from a feminist perspective. To this end, interviews were conducted with two transgender women living in the city of Vitória da Conquista - Bahia, understanding the interior region as an important feature to understand other realities and transversalities. The objective was to describe, based on the concept of gender performance developed by the philosopher Judith Butler (1990), and to analyze, through the empirical phenomenological method proposed by Amedeo Giorgi (1970), the life trajectories of these women with reference to their narratives about their performance with a focus on the social and subjective implications perceived by them throughout this process. In addition, an auto-ethnographic analysis of my meetings with the collaborators of this research was carried out. The results found spanned five axes: gender identity; family; health, affectivity and social life. They suggest the importance of producing cracks, tensioning, displacements in Cis-Hetero-Norms, in order to enable new gender lenses and other possibilities of existence.

  • This research is part of the studies of race and gender relations that have debated on the political participation of black women in Brazil. Pretend to renew these studies based on the collective action of the Network of Black Women of the Northeast (RMNN) during the process of building the 1st March of Black Women in Brasília against Racism, Violence and for the Good Life (2011-2015) and in a theoretical framework that fits the assumptions of contemporary sociological theories, decolonial black feminist. It is from this From that meeting a critical theoretical and methodological dialogue is constructed between alternative (perspective) approaches organized from the paradigm of intersectionality, decoloniality and Afrocentricity. In the first case, the intersectionality between race, patriarchy and other oppressive axes is privileged, offered especially by authors of the size of Gonzalez (1982), Davis (1982) and Crenshaw (1989). In the second, he theorizes the idea of frontier as racial, cultural and political aspects, resulting from the power relations and locus of enunciation, more specifically, in terms of what we capture in the work of authors such as Mohanty (1984), Anzauldúa (1987), Gonzalez (1988ª) and Bhabha (1994). In the third, we turn to this tradition, which theoretically restores the anti-racist struggle in the African diaspora, proposing a theory centered on the life stories of black people, criticizing the uniformly negative controlling images, defined by the colonizer, widely debated by Assante (1980) , Nascimento (1974), Gonzalez (1982), Collins, (1990), Carneiro (2001). Therefore, the outline of the analysis of the construction process of the I MMNB is referenced in the culture and tradition of struggle of Afro-descendants and Africans for overcoming the inequalities imposed by racism and sexism. A descriptive panel of the four-year journey of collective articulation of the NMRN, identifying its contributions to the formulation of a decolonial black feminist thought, as an expression of the Brazilian black feminist praxis. It seeks to highlight the relationship between collective action, based on own experiences and critical Afro-Latin-Brazilian thinking. A study that put researchers and activists side by side, in a true crossroads and dialogical relationship, aiming at analyzing the constitution of a decolonial black feminist conception in the social, political and epistemic action of black Brazilian women.

  • The objective research was to analyze the processes of murder of women in the municipality of Alagoinhas, Bahia, between the years 2006 to 2017, demarcating the possible advances and / or setbacks, over time, around gender violence against women, specifically, the domestic violence that culminates in murders committed by spouses, boyfriends, fiancés, partners, lovers or ex of the victims, a crime that, after Law 13,104 / 2015, a struggle of feminist movements, became known as feminicide, in an attempt to observe what constitutes the trajectory of the crimes, how the public policies of the Network for the Protection of Violence Against Women have been applied in order to confront them in Alagoinhas and how it is possible to avoid them, keeping the due confidentiality and intimacy of / of the informants and involved in the procedural documents. The choice of this city was due to the need for more regional studies on the theme, given the extensive territoriality of the country and the fact that the researches that contemplate this problem are carried out in large urban centers and in some capitals, the vast majority of which are capitals. from the Center South region. The qualitative approach will be systematized in participant observation, legal-hermeneutic analysis of murder processes, carefully observing the statements of legal actors (police, delegates, judges, prosecutors, lawyers, witnesses and defendants) and the social results of the crimes (the step by step of the process and its possible results). It will be problematic if these murdered women sought the public policies offered in the city before the crime, that is, if they were triggered and if they were what responses they offered to the victim, remembering that what we have from the victims of femicides are only procedural and memorial fragments about Your lives. We understand the qualitative methodology and the hermeneutic technique as theoretical propositions indispensable for the study and procedural interpretation, given that the procedural piece represents world views on gender relations and what is recorded and written there says a lot about social and cultural constructions of a people around the social performances attributed to men and women that unfold in idealized masculinities and femininities. The procedural records represent a legal but also a social text from which a dense interpretation and description will be sought. We used the theoretical and methodological tools of perspective feminism and intersectional black feminist thinking in the quest to contribute to the strengthening of a feminist theory of law.

  • This thesis aims to analyze how the androcentric bias characteristic of Modern Science is manifested until today in an educational institution, part of the Federal Network of Professional, Scientific and Technological Education, the Federal Institute of Bahia / Campus Salvador. Historically, the institution, under the pretext of training rational and objective professionals for the industries, favors technical knowledge over humanistic knowledge. Under this positivist and technicist perspective, the approach to themes such as ethnic-racial relations and gender relations is especially challenging, and often neglected, although in contradiction to the institutional mission of forming historic-critical citizens, expressed in official documents. The thesis examines this problem under three theoretical axes: the history of science, the Feminist Studies of Science and Technology, in particular the feminist perspective theory, and the studies on curriculum. A quanti-qualitative research was carried out, in which quantitative data related to the faculty and students of Campus Salvador were analyzed, both in terms of gender belonging and the self-declaration of race / ethnicity. Also the documents that propose to guide teaching and learning practices, the Institutional Pedagogical Project and Pedagogical Projects of the Graduation’s Courses of the Campus were analyzed. Finally, the teachers' own conceptions were investigated with regard to the concept of science and the insertion of the themes gender and race/ethnicity, through questionnaires and interviews with Campus’ managers and teachers. The thesis highlights the relevance of a broad education, which surpasses positivist, technical and Eurocentric models, in which the teaching and learning process is in close articulation with social realities, in line with the institute's mission, namely, the formation of critical citizens and aware of their role in the face of social demands.

  • The present thesis reflects on the relationship between community organizations led by women in peripheral neighborhoods and women's and feminist movements as well as mixed popular movements (men and women). It proposes to investigate the constitution of these organizations from the territory in which they are located, Metropolitan Region of Recife / Pernambuco and the dynamics of the daily life of the women who organize these groups. The investigation had the following axes: daily life and time of women in activities considered political and domestic; how the dimensions of race, class and gender relate and how the relationship between community organizations and women's and feminist movements takes place; the discussion about the role of women in these groups that are organized in the peripheral neighborhoods and the reproduction and resistance to social inequalities and injustices. We realize that the way women organize themselves in these places is intertwined with the very process of social, historical and economic formation in the cities of Recife and Olinda as well as in the state of Pernambuco. The protagonists of this type of political organization are black women, residents of the popular neighborhoods of this urban context. Thus, the place occupied by this social group in the labor market, socioeconomic indexes as well as in the territory mean a conservation of elements from the process of local colonization. The thesis defended here is the statement that in the Brazilian context and, specifically in the Metropolitan Region of Recife, this type of community organization can be considered as a type of expression of popular feminism, in which the place of residence is directly related to the women protagonists in these organizations. They represent, therefore, resistance to the persistence of race, gender and class inequalities, and are an important element in the self-definition of women as historical, political and collective subjects. We also affirm that community organizations led by women, in the Brazilian context as well as in the
    Metropolitan Region of Recife, represent an important form of mobilization and politicization of women and that in both groups surveyed they define themselves as constructors of feminism. Thus, we highlight the importance of this type of organization both with regard to the organizational processes of women and for the political organization in general, which proposes concrete victories and the process of forming a critical and transformative conscience.

  • Based on the analysis of intrafamily non-conjugal violence, I defend the thesis that there can be a displaced patriarchy in the relationships between mother and child. The displacement operates on three fronts: a) in the conceptual field; b) in the social roles of the subjects of patriarchy and c) in the emergence/visibility of other subjects and other domestic violences. Regarding the first aspect, there is a sophisticated and intense theoretical mobilization on the part of feminists who have undertaken efforts to depatriarchalize the concept of patriarchy. This movement aggregates categories of analysis and intersected conceptual notions whose intention is to explain the complexity of the real-concrete social fact today, as well as unveiling the new configurations of the patriarchal order still strongly present in Western society. The analysis, therefore, requires new cleavages and ruptures. In what are referred to as the social roles of the subjects of the patriarchy, displacement means problematizing the universal patriarchal subject, crystallized in the image of the heterosexual relationship between the man-father patriarch (the subject who dominates and attacks) versus the woman-mother (the subalternized and passive victim of violence). Finally, the last displacement – and the most important of this research – is related to the need to perceive other subjects and other domestic violences. Here abusive practices break the social contract established in the traditional patriarchal family order and sons or daughters become perpetrators of violence against their mothers, who, in turn, react and manage this condition. For this analysis, I drew from bibliographic and cartographic sources as well as literature reviews. Furthermore, I used the empirical basis in order to demonstrate the theories presented. The analysis was partial, anchored only in the narratives of the women-mothers in situations of non-conjugal family violence. Seven semi-structured interviews were conducted with women from distinct locations of class, race, generation, educational level, current spatial occupation and other structural or circumstantial social markers emerging in the field research, such as geographical origin.

  • Often women are seen as interpreters or inspiring muses. Women composers in MPB have always been a reality, however, in the history of Brazilian music there was an erasure of female authorship. It was during a concert that singer Daniela Mercury spoke about this uneasiness which, as a student of Gender and Diversity, piqued my curiosity. In this work I focus on Daniela Mercury's artistic production as a lyricist for many hit songs during her career even before stardom. In the present work I was busy reflecting on some songs from all her discography identifying the themes, similarities, thoughts and influences, and analyzed the phonographic work entitled Vinyl Virtual, released in 2015. As she herself defines, it is a record - manifest for peace, love and against all kinds of violence, prejudice and suffering. Through the research of primary sources, I reconstructed the artist's trajectory also identifying the innovations she brings to the Salvador Carnival from an intersectional perspective. Finally, I seek to analyze how Daniela Mercury became an important figure in the construction of Bahia's identity, concerned with diversity and in alleviating the oppression and suffering of social minorities.

  • The present action research aimed to know the modality of social protection offered the old age of women residing in collective long-term residences in Salvador whose self-declared juridical nature was: non-profit. To that end, I have, first of all, based myself on feminist epistemology and focus on the qualitative approach of the social sciences. The cartography built through the institutional visits, signaled to me that the Sanitary District of the city included more non-profit entities, led me to meet the only institution that met the full compliance with the operating regulations and the presence of the phenomenon of feminization of old age. In which, as I entered, I identified the need for intersectional analysis, since in addition to being old and of the subaltern working class, the residents were black. Therefore, the construction of chapters I, II, II is cut short by comparisons / differentiations about aging for white and black women. Chapter I presents the formulation of the social construction of old age under the influence of gender technologies, the sexual division of labor and structural racism in society; Chapter II takes a tour of the social rights won by women (not without struggle or pain) from the suffrage to the present day emphasizing the participation (erased of history) of the old women in these conquests, threatened in the contemporary world; in chapter III I share with readers the detailed ways to build this dissertation, emphasizing the importance of always listing social legislation, public policies to literature during the research. Still in chapter III, I emphasize the choice of oral history as a method of collecting data with the informants, and their narratives are evaluated by the discourse analysis theory from the sociogram. In the final anecdotes, I express the whole apprehension of feminist ethnography in looking at theirs together, which showed me the positive impacts, namely: softening the socio-family absence, maintaining analogical relationships between residents / visitors and especially access to CARE. Regarding the negative impacts they recognize the absence of autonomy as the worst aspect, but they report accepting the exchange of this Law for survival with the minimum of dignity. In the light of the above, it is evident that the problems labeled as old age are the murmur of the elite in the face of the impossibility of proclaiming themselves on the backs or tits of the old woman.

  • The present dissertation, "Sizininha Simoes - the first Bahian decorator: from the 1950s to the 1990s", analyzes the life and performance of the first Bahian interior decorator, from 1950 to 1990. To obtain the initial data, we used interviews with the first decorator, Sizininha Simões. Also, documentary analysis of newspaper articles, personal documents, iconographic analysis, and other sources was used. The first results indicated the interweaving of gender, race and class as referential indicators of the profession of decorator, both in the years 1957 and nowadays. Sizina Simões is an example of this fact, since her professional insertion occurred because she was a white woman with a strong family insertion in the higher income class, that is, due to the reproduction system, which according to Scott (1990) , comes from the familiarist logic, with all the privileges extremely rooted in the ways in which Bahian society represented the gender, in its interfaces with the questions of race and class; and also as a decorator was used to articulate the rules of social relations or to build the professional experience, which marked its trajectory.

  • The dissertation Raperas Sudacas: the poetic amefrican and mestiza dyke in Latin America is a parallax about the history of Hip Hop, because it presents a change in the angle of vision and informs how the amefrican and mestiza dyke produces art and resistance in a movement considered as masculinist and sexist. This research was carried out with contributions from decolonial theory, from virtual ethnography and from ethnomusicology and is part of a social and sonographic cartography about Latin America and the women who form part of it, among them the amefrican and mestizas dykes.

  • Show Abstract
  • The present work presents a study about self - enrollment of black women in the "Brazilian culture", based on the artistic practices of Angolan women practicing Capoeira Angola. Investigating questions about representation and self-representation of black women in Brazilian society we find, in the study of black feminist theories, a critical feminist production of representation. It is the exposition of the problems facing the representation and representation of black and non-white women in the culture. Problems such as racism, whiteness and machismo that are "naturally" present in the narratives of creation (in the act of inventing the world and ourselves), elements that have become natural but that ultimately determine the right (or absence of it) to life. Our field of study deals with black and non-white Angolans in Salvador / BA, who develop artistic practices in other languages, with Capoeira Angola, an art of black resistance, as inspiration for their creations. The concept of "body encapoeirado" is developed by the black artist and researcher, Nildes Sena (2015), who shares his works and artistic narratives for this study. These are bodies that have inscribed in themselves the Capoeira Angola and that resist the existing structures provoking different dialogues of body, about body, questioning representation. Feminist black intellectuals such as Lélia Gonzales (1984), Sueli Carneiro (2002), Aparecida Bento (2002), Conceição Evaristo (2005, 2007) Grado Kilomba (2016) and Janja Araújo (1999, 2015, 2017) inspire and lay the foundations for this study. Their productions expose the artistic / intellectual narratives that impose silences, stereotypes and images of black women's desprestígio in the culture.

  • This dissertation intends to understand women's political insertion in the public space, the gender issues associated with it, but above all to know the profile of women in the MFPA-Bahia nucleus, aiming to make gender and historical justice to these women as well such as highlighting the contributions made by the MFPA through oral history and the invaluable resource of memory given the scarcity of documentation of such an important historical moment and a flag as sublime as Amnesty. The MFPA was the first to raise such a flag, in a totally unfavorable scenario like that of repression. It was in the condition of mothers, wives, housewives, sisters, that these women took to the streets in defense of their families. The woman has always been present in the most important political decisions of our country, nevertheless, its place in the private universe never was recognized; society has always appealed to women in decision-making, but the place reserved for them has always been the domestic one. The MFPA showed the strength of the woman in the public space, although, initially, there was no political consciousness of such amplitude; currently, although society is still divided into a gender perspective and the public space is considered to be primarily female, women have achieved important achievements, occupying leadership positions and occupations considered to be typically male. MFPA-NÚCLEO BA is considered one of the largest and most active; the memories of these women are marked by pain, suffering, repression, but also by the love and unity of the family around a cause. And it is with sincere respect and admiration that this dissertation pays this simple homage.

  • The means of communication daily denounce offenses, aggressions, threats and feminicides occurred in the familiar context. The statistics prove that women are permanent target of rights violations both in public and private space, due to, mainly, the gender inequality. Despite of the domestic violence be an old social problem, in Brazil, only after the Maria da Penha Law publishing (Law nº 11.340/06) began to interest with more intensity to the law professionals in the country, although the discussions about Juridical Feminism rebuild to way previous dates in Brazil and Latin America. This legal diploma represents important advance on the familiar and domestic violence facing in Brazil and has turned itself in the main legal instrument. This law, among other news, provides the application of urgency protective measures in favor of women to prevent the occurrence of new rights violations during the process course, with the possibility to have its validity expanded for the needed time. The definition of this research problem has its origin in my experience as a lawyer, in which I perceive closely the difficulties faced by part of the women in São Gabriel/BA city to achieve an effective result on the processes that evolve situations of familiar and domestic violence, especially regarding the concession of urgency protective measures. Acknowledging the importance of this specific mechanism’s creation aiming to avoid crimes recurrences during the processes, that I sought to know the perception of women that received urgency protective measure from 2006 to 2016 about its practical effects, with the goal to understand the dynamics that surround this judicial decision. This verifying occurred through the application of half structured interviews, using the in-depth interview method, allied with a brief ethnographic exercise in the field research. The interviews were recorded with video equipment, and after the transcriptions, were explored through the content analyzing technique. Besides that, I gathered information from the processes record and police inquires initiated between 2006 and 2016, which were crossed with data from the National Council of Justice research about the Maria da Penha Law application in Brazil. I traced a socioeconomic profile of the women interviewed, and from their speeches, I analyzed the possibilities of protection and monitoring of women in violence situation in the city and the alternatives within the city reality range that can enhance the access to justice for women in domestic violence situation.

  • This research aimed to know and bring to the fore the narratives of women who were or are in situations of domestic and family violence living in the municipality of Pintadas-Ba, analyzing the manifestations of violence in their lives, how they react / face the problem and, the local barriers in confrontation. With regard to the municipality in question, it is a small bahian municipality located in the semi-arid region, in the Identity Territory Jacuípe Basin. The choice of this object was influenced, among other aspects, by the fact that in small municipalities in general, especially those located in the semi-arid region, the problem of domestic and family violence still occupies a small area in studies and research, State attention around the issue is diminished, as it is perceived that there is practically no equipment of the network to protect women in these spaces. As far as methodological procedures are concerned, this is a qualitative study carried out with 24 (twenty-four) women from Padova, 20 (twenty) of them from Pintadas Normal State College who were heard on two wheels of conversations held at said college on the proposed theme, and 04 (four) are women who live or at some point in their lives have lived with domestic and family violence and participated in semi-structured interviews. The final considerations point out that, in order to guarantee the rights provided for in the Maria da Penha Law for women living in Pintadas, it is necessary to invest in the implantation of the equipment of the women's care network in that locality, as well as in public policies that reflect their specificities.

  • The way that gender is experienced by women, through other social categories, is a decisive factor in understanding of the oppressions that affect different groups of women. Therefore, a black feminist study about the literary production of the black writer Conceição Evaristo, like this study, needs to consider the intersection of the vectors race and gender in the conduction of narrative construction. From the writing and living, the author who was born in Minas Gerais, generates a text that points questions pertinent to the historical experience of the black population, and mainly of the black woman, highlighting the dynamics of the relations of race, class, gender, sexuality and generation in the production of these identities. Thus, part of the black woman's place of speech to develop a literary and political project that claims the right to social existence of black women. Starting from a black anti-racist feminist perspective and adopting Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) as methodology, I analyze, in this dissertation, the novels Ponciá Vicêncio (2003) and Becos da Memória (2013), and the book of short stories Insubmissas Lágrimas de Mulheres (2016b). So, I chose to investigate the topics: the re-reading of the historical discourse about black slavery, from the perspective of the black woman; and the assumption of the discourse producer’s place and of affectivities as element in the elaboration of the black women identities.

  • Show Abstract
  • The Northeastern Movement of Rural Women (MMTR-NE) is a rural, anti-racist and agroecological feminist movement, built by rural workers from the nine states of the Northeast Region in Brazil. Together, they have been self-organized for over thirty years in the political struggle and in the strengthening of their diverse identities, articulating an significant production of their own narratives through different languages. The revolutionary process of self-definition of rural women - one of the keys of the black feminist thought, which emphasizes content produced with a specific and authentic character, replacing the externally defined images - is in open opposition to the hegemonic narrative linked to the colonial power matrix of the cisheteropatriarchy white capitalism. From a black and decolonial perspective, the present work investigates the epistemic power of the counter-hegemonic narratives produced by the MMTR-NE women and how they use their histories to advance their autonomy and to express the interruption, denunciation and reparation of the objectification to which the subalternized categories were subjected: the displacement of the inhuman condition of "object" to the dignity of declaring themselves subjects and to demand the recognition as such.

    Curriao, Graciela Huinao and Rayen Kvyeh. From a dialogue between their life trayectory
    and literary work, we ask how the mapuche women writters create their subjectivity
    process? From their life narratives, we consider that, through literary criation, they express
    ways of life against imposed identities, that are social, racial, ethnical and about gender.
    Our objective is to reflect about the construction of their subjectibity through the craft of
    writting about herselves. We believe in the importance of analyses aimed to the experiences
    and trayectories about mapuche women, because they can contribute with the
    deconstruction of colonial, racist and sexist imaginaries. The narrators, women writters and
    poets have been recorded the struggle to mapuche artistic expressions be recognized by
    literary canon, which excludent dinamics are seated on the roots of European colonisation
    that appreciate the written tradition and Spanish as official language, and on the National

  • The present work qualitatively analyzes discourses about rape of the large communication conglomerates and the Federal Legislative (Chamber of Deputies and Federal Senate) between 2016 and 2018. The starting point was the case of the collective rape of a sixteenyear-old girl in May 2016 in Rio de Janeiro. Due to some peculiarities of the case, such as the fact that there were audiovisual records of violence disclosed in social media, its presence in the national news was intense and incessant, although ephemeral. A few days after the episode, the Federal Senate unanimously approved PLS 618/2015, which makes collective rape a crime, among other changes in criminal law. In March 2018, PL 5452/2016 was approved by the Chamber of Deputies, also unanimously. This legislative process gave rise to law 13,718 / 2018. The objective was to understand the meanings produced by the mainstream media about the themes of rape, violence, author, victim and how the State is required to respond to situations of sexual violence. In the speeches of the Legislature, it was sought to understand the production of meaning on the same themes, but also interpreting the mass media as a space for the dissemination of public opinion on cases of violence and on what state responses are required. The thematic categories are analyzed based on feminist theoretical references, critical criminology and penal abolitionism, taking into consideration other analytical tools, such as intersectionality and modern penal rationality. In this wake, a critical look at the criminalization and increase of penalties is established as the only and / or most relevant solution to social conflicts. Although it considers it important to flee from reductionism and simplism in labeling punitive movements of progressive movements that seek the criminal justice system to resolve their issues, reflections on their functioning within these movements, especially feminisms, are equally relevant.

In conducting a racial and gender-based academic research, the results permeated the reflections of these axes of oppression, because of this research uses the historical survey to understand and explain a current reality that can be explained through history. The permanence was quite punctuated in the research, the financial condition impacts the stay in the university, resorting to the questioning of these racial and gender socioeconomic relations, as well as the criticism about the effectiveness of UFBA permanence programs, which reinforces the importance of the intersectional debate of gender and race in Social Work.

  • Inserted in the Research Line Gender, Power and Public Policy, this master`s thesis aim`s to analyze the treatment given by the Brazilian legal system to cybercrimes, specifically revenge porn, focusing on the State of Bahia. Considering the historical, social and cultural aspects that allow to identify it while demonstration of the gender violence, through an analysis of legal sociology, critical criminology and feminist epistemologies. Through a mapping of the existing mechanisms of confront with gender violence on the Internet, it suggests reflection on the proposed legal changes and application proposed to address the issue with regard to combating and punishing the practice and ensuring effective access to coping mechanisms by women who are victims. To this end, it takes into consideration bibliographic survey, open documentation and archives of the regional mass media. The methodological procedures and collection instruments are defined by the qualitative approach, of legal and documentary nature, using the internet itself as an observatory field. Through an analysis of legal sociology, it proposes a discussion about the adequacy of the treatment given to revenge pornography by the Brazilian legal system regarding the effective combat to the practice and protection of the integrity of the victims. Following, therefore, a multi-referenced methodology based predominantly on corpus documental and written and of public origin, the cases will be accessed through two fronts: media and court. The analysis of the jurisprudential discourses and applicable laws allows us to identify how to deal with revenge pornography cases in Brazil. As a result, this research criticizes the tendency to criminalize the practice, concluding that because it is true social vicissitude, there is a lack of public policies to combat gender violence.

  • The complex and interconnected configurations of oppressions that crosses/shapes the reality of Brazilian black women, generates a context of inequalities, requiring creativity in the process of struggle and overcoming. This research accepts Audre Lorde’s invitation/challenge and Jurema Werneck’s task to transform our silence into language and action, pursuing the construction of our own terms. In order to investigate the construction of contemporary black women's identities in cyberspace, the texts available on the Blogueiras Negras website (BN) were evaluated using the Content Analysis methodology and based on theories that emerge from black and decolonial feminist epistemologies. It was observed that BN can be considered as an "inner articulation", in which the black women who integrate and those who eventually transit through it can collectively appeal to new repertoires created by themselves in other collective spaces, or only in this, to draw up their identities.

  • Show Abstract
  • Menstrual cup is a bell-shaped silicon object designed to be inserted inside the vagina in order to gather menstrual fluids. It collects uterine blood instead of absorbing it, an unique feature among menstrual devices. Its invention goes back to 1937, going through different moments in attempting to commercialize it; in Brazil, it was only on the last decade that the cup has conquered its own public. Trying to understand this late emergency, the aim of this research is to investigate transformations that the cup has been promoting in practical-symbolic orders of menstruation. To archieve that, two main elements are focused: first, this device presents properties that demand acuity of perception to the unique body characteristics of the ones who use it and it also makes possible an unprecedented contact to menstrual blood unscathed in color, texture, smell and volume, tensioning menstrual stigma and current body alienation processes. Second, the cup’s diffusion in Brazil occurs through women’s networks that build knowledge exchanging experiences, in a horizontal movement that defies menstrual etiquette norms, imperatives of keeping menstruation under secrecy and rearticulates forces competing for menstruation symbolic powers. I argue that through the usage of this device transformations in legit speeches about body, health, sexuality and autonomy are occurring, especially in what concerns to medical and media authority confronted by body perception developed by cup’s users. This research is aligned to epistemological precepts of feminist perspectivism, facing critically objectiveness, rationalism and fundacionalism values that hide androcentric bias in scientific knowledge production. In order to tune epistemological positioning, methodology and the own qualities of the subject in question, I choose as data collecting tool the technique of focal groups, looking for access this kind of networked knowledge in the very moment of research. In three meetings with menstrual cup users in Salvador city, I investigate the diffusion of new values and manners regarding menstrual blood.

  • Inserted in the research line Gender, Inequalities and Alterities of the Graduate Program in Interdisciplinary Studies on Women, Gender and Feminism of the Federal University of Bahia, this dissertation focuses on the themes of gender and generation, seeking to understand how aging is experienced. from the perspective of female dancers. The research was developed in an interdisciplinary approach, since no discipline holds the monopoly of the study of aging. The theoretical framework was based mainly on sociological and anthropological studies. The methodology adopted for the construction of research research, in addition to bibliographic research, was based on a qualitative approach, through a methodological triangulation process, through the use of documentary research, semi-structured interviews and participant observation. In all, twenty-two ballerinas - aged 28 to 65 - were interviewed and accompanied in their work environment, revealing for the researcher a huge diversity of experiences, perceptions and feelings in the unfolding of each course of life. Understanding life as a process and assuming that this process is not experienced in the same way by all people, the field and data analysis revealed the multiple social and cultural possibilities that permeate the experience of aging dancing. Keywords: Gender, generation, aging, dancer, body.

  • This study focuses on the reproductive autonomy in Angola. From a postcolonial perspective, we perform a critical analysis of the concept of reproductive rights, from which the definition of reproductive autonomy comes. Is from the results of this problematic that we investigate the reproductive autonomy construction process in Angola. Through a qualitative research that focuses on ethnography, the thesis analyzes the construction of reproductive autonomy in Angola, by means of the life stories of five Angolan women who chose not to have children, or have only one. For this were explored gender, woman, family and motherhood conceptions in the multiple local cultures, as well as in the ones brought by colonization. We then realize that the central point is the self-perception of being an individual with guaranteed rights, which can make the own choices. This self-view, is built upon the maternal model (and parental) experienced in the home. A perspective in which the categories mother - women - wife are seen as interconnected, but not inseparable. Furthermore, reproductive autonomy is exercised in shared mode between the woman and the maternal family, rather than with her husband, mainly because it represents the continuity of the family, the name and the culture. Pregnancy is not an isolated act and concerns everyone. However, the transformation of the family and social organization has led to a change in reproductive paradigm, giving way to new forms of exercise of reproductive autonomy.

  • This research aims at analyzing, from the perspective of Feminist Studies, the process of insertion of the gender theme into the technical and scientific training of occupational therapists in Brazil, considering: national legal bases, institutional perspectives, proposals and actions and perceptions of regarding the relevance of Gender Studies for the training of professionals. It is a Case Study about the reality of Occupational Therapy courses in the national territory, which in 2016 (beginning of data collection) were: recognized by the MEC, assets, with open entry slots, and at least one class of graduates with completed course work. Thus, the field of investigation is represented by the total set of courses of occupational therapy with these characteristics, identified in 34 Institutions of Higher Education. To understand the Brazilian reality of the curricular status of the Gender category in the graduate training in occupational therapy, it was necessary to take the Gender Studies and Occupational Science as the main theoretical references. Methodologically, this is a qualitative research, located epistemologically in Standpoint Theory, constituting itself in a case study of the unique type of broad spectrum. The data sources listed for this research were: the National Curricular Guidelines of the Undergraduate Course in Occupational Therapy; 34 Political Educational Projects / Courses Pedagogical Projects; 34 Curricular Matrices; 935 Abstracts of course work provided by 21 of 34 courses; 413 Curricula Lattes of the teachers who make up the effective faculty of the 34 courses; and 49 research questionnaires, answered by professors from 28 of the 34 courses studied. Methodological elements of the Documentary Research and Research Questionnaire were used to identify the data needed for analysis and triangulation. For the understanding of the data obtained in the textual discourses of the documents, the Discourse Analysis was used from the four analytical categories that emerged in the research: Identity and Diversity of Gender, Body and Sexuality; Gender and Health; Gender and Violence; and Gender and other Intersections. In the case of the data obtained in the research questionnaires, a qualitative analysis was carried out on the teachers' perceptions regarding the curricular insertion of the gender theme, considering the disciplinary and transversal aspects present in the teaching, research and extension processes of their courses. The data obtained in the documentary research reveal important gaps regarding the insertion of the gender theme in the training of occupational therapists, and present with significant convergence between the different documents, pointed out in the triangulation process of these data. The data obtained in the research questionnaires reveal the teachers' perceptions about the relevance of the gender theme, as well as the perceptions that the gender theme is included in their courses. The triangulation of the data reveals important divergences between the textual discourses analyzed in the different documents and the perceptions of the teachers identified in the research questionnaires, which points to the need for specific investigations aimed at clarifying this fact.

The initial hypotheses referred to the understanding of a powerful experience of Feminist Pedagogy, with an affective and health-promoting character experienced in the Feminine Musical. In addition, there was a hypothesis of recognition of the University as a space of contradiction, power of growth and experimentation of healthy relationships, as well as a space of dense and violent experiences fed by the matrices of racism, sexism, LGBTH + phobia, classism, etc. . With the support of the authors of black and postcolonial feminisms, with emphasis on Sueli Carneiro, Lélia González, Gloria Anzaldúa, Audre Lorde, bell hooks and Nilma Lino Gomes, understanding the links between Health, Mental Health, Healthy Living, Affectivity, Pedagogy. feminist and self-care. The experiences lived at the University are investigated, with emphasis on the experience of the referred group, as the repercussions of this group experience, the artivisms, in relation to the movements of subjectivity and resistance or even the existence lived with health and affection. The methodology consists of a qualitative investigation, in which 26 people were interviewed based on a semi-structured interview questionnaire. The collected data were amplified based on qualitative epistemology, through content analysis, and the results found in the study corroborated the hypotheses raised initially. The female musical, in fact, is presented as an extremely powerful group, which through feminist pedagogy and artivism involved with the construction of knowledge and libertarian relations, remains a unique space within the University.

  • Show Abstract
  • Since the 1980s, works have been cataloged worldwide with men who perpetrated violence against women as a strategy for addressing this serious form of violation of human rights. In Brazil, the debates about education and accountability services to men perpetrators of violence gained strength from the edition of Law No. 11.340 / 2006 - Maria da Penha Law that, in its core, incorporated such perspective. However, feminist literature on the subject is still scarce, not only because it is recent, but mainly because it has never been central to feminist and women's movements. In an attempt to minimize this gap, I seek to analyze feminist perceptions about the provision of accountability and education services for men who have committed violence against women. To this end, I use document analysis and semi-structured and semi-directional interviews conducted with people who identify themselves as feminists and with participation work in the formulation / monitoring processes of the Maria da Penha Law or implementation of these services and programs. In the end, besides pointing to the insufficiency of the merely punitive answers given by the criminal justice system, I present fundamental aspects to the construction of a solid and effective model of intervention with male perpetrators of violence.

  • This thesis proposes, as a central prism, to trace and discuss not only the trajectories and experiences - in the field of gender and trade unionism - of trade union activists, articulated to the intersections between the dimensions of gender, race/ethnicity and social class in a feminist perspective, but also the unfurling around the militantism, in view of the reality of the Trade Union of Hydro and Thermoelectric Power Industry Workers of the State of Bahia - (Sindicato dos Trabalhadores das Indústrias de Energia Hidro e Termo-Elétrica do Estado da Bahia – SINERGIA), in Salvador, Bahia, between the 70s and 90s. The attempt was to trace the profile of men and women according to the diversity of trajectories and experiences as trade union's leaders and delegates, and grassroots activists, based on political awakening and forms of trade union membership. Brazilian unionism in the twentieth century, at the beginning of industrialization, with the emergence of the embryo of the new working class, was marked by achievements and throwbacks, struggles and resistance of workers in confronting the entrepreneurs and dictatorial and populist governments. The trade union movement between the 70's and 90’s - the focus of this study, known as authentic, renewed, combative, proved to be dynamic, resistant and more organizational due to the scope of its struggles and conquests as a result of facts and events: confrontation with the military regime, the outpouring of mass strikes, the realization of rural unionism, the creation of the trade union centrals, the emergence of trade union oppositions, the contestation of privatization and neoliberal governments, collective layoffs and the flexibilization of collective labor contracts. A qualitative methodology was chosen, for being considered closer to the multidimensional dimensions of social life, in the Brazilian case, as a mirror of a society originated from colonialism that remains in the structures of postcolonial racism. The path chosen from the “point of view” of intersectionalities/ consubstantialities points the trail to be followed. Bibliographic, documentary and field research was performed. It is followed by the description of my personal, professional and trade union trajectory as a situated subject. Nineteen interviews were conducted at SINERGIA, with 13 women and 6 men, based in narratives that were developed from an initial question and other central questions about their personal, professional and union trajectory. As pontual illustrations, 8 interviews about union activism were conducted with trade union activists, men and women from the French Confederations CFDT and UFEQT/CGT. The interviews were recorded and transcribed for later data analysis. This analysis included the WEBQDA software, as well as horizontal and vertical readings of the narratives, in order to obtain differences and similarities in the trajectories, which were reconstructed in biographical profiles to give uniqueness and visibility to the subjects and their experiences. The research design led to the sexual conception of work, under the aegis of the social division of labor, based on gender hierarchies, which generate subordination and oppression of social subjects, depending on gender, race/ethnicity and social class, in addition to the generation, position and location of men and women in the labor market, including union social relations. In a second moment, I bring advances and achievements, having the emancipation of women as a perspective of exit from the oppression of gender, race/ethnicity and class.

  • The National Confrontation Pact was launched in 2007 and consisted of a commitment of the federal government, in partnership with states and municipalities, with the prerogative of organizing and implementing articulated public policies to combat violence against women. Bahia was included among the priority states that were supposed to effect the pact in the first year, in 2008. This recommendation was made by the national Secretariat of Policies for Women, considering the size of the female population, the rates of violence for the region and the number of existing help services in the practioners network. In this sense, the present doctoral research aimed to analyze the implementation and articulation of the National Pact to Fight Violence against women in the state of Bahia between 2008 and 2015. To achieve the general objective in question, it was defined as specific objectives: to investigate how was the process of adherence to the pact to confront the phenomenon of violence against women by the state of Bahia; diagnose the main limits and advances in the implementation and articulation process; and identify how was the renegotiation process in the state of Bahia. As methodological strategies we used semi-structured interviews and document analysis. In total, seven semi-structured interviews were conducted with managers who participated directly in the process of implementation and articulation of the pact during 2008 and 2015. Regarding the other strategy, were considered as valid documents: official documents designed by state secretariats, responsible for the articulation of the pact; statistical records; reports; minutes of meeting; and power point presentations, what made possible to organize a database of 87 research documents. For data analysis the work was based on the theoretical-methodological model of Discursive Practices and Production of Meanings by Mary Jane Spink. In order to systematize the process of analysis of discursive practices, dialogic maps were constructed for the expression of meaning productions. Data were exposed from six meanings: the (Re)Pactuation: The Combat of Violence in Bahia (2008-2015); The Dismantling of the Pact in the State of Bahia; Main actions taken by the State Pact to Fight Violence against Women; Organizational elements of the Pact and their implications for the effectiveness of the Policy; Main difficulties and an analysis of the pact from the institutional arrangements; The Pact and the Municipality of Salvador/BA. As the main findings stood out: the difficulty of building a history of the pact, due to the obstacles of the politics itself; small number of managers involved in the process of implementation and articulation of the pact, reflecting on the difficulties of articulation; compliance with the political will for the implementation of public policy, which entails the clutter of policy development; and the discontinuity of politics, motivated by the dismantling of investments to suport public policies directed at facing violence against women in the country. As final considerations, it is important to think about effective strategies so that the development of public policies can go beyond the notion of party politics and the political will of the agents responsible for the implantations and articulations of the programmed actions

  • Even now, little academic effort has been made to construct a clear dialogue about self-esteem and autonomy issues experienced by marginalized communities. The motivation of this research came, firstly, from the desire to highlight the need to conceptualize self-esteem, particularly from the lens of black feminism and, at the same time, to place its strategic relevance for the socially known category as "black women". Secondly, it also aims to offer some parameters for the establishment of nexus between the concept of self-esteem and the construction of autonomy. To operationalize its objectives, this research was based on conducting life stories and in-depth interviews with black women in the cities of Salvador-Ba and Oakland-CA. The interdisciplinary nature of this inquiry highlights the interrelationship between self-esteem process as a strategic step for human development and, particularly, to strengthening autonomy process of marginalized people in order to face the interconnections between racism, sexism, classism and homophobia.

  • This research was dedicated to the study of the poetic productions of black women who recite in the surroundings of Salvador to understand their dialogues with Brazilian Black Feminist Thought, based on the theory of Intersectionality and as gender categories of analysis, race and social class. Fifty-two poemas from fourteen poets who accepted to participate in the research. Through Critical Discourse Analysis, as an instrument of analysis, the poems that compose the corpus of this work were carefully examined and later grouped into three major thematic axes: identity; resistance and denunciation. The identity of the theme was concerned with the denial of universalizing representations based on whitening and concealment discourses of the racial dimension. The theme of resistance sought to construct a destabilizing discourse of collective dimension. And finally, the subject of the complaint indicated the ineffectiveness and negligence of the State to the demands of the popular communities. This study shows that there is a strong relationship between the NPF and the analyzed poetry, since both promote resistance to racism, sexism and social class hierarchy and contribute to the formulation of eminently political discourses and intervention in society.

  • This work seeks to analyze the life trajectory of black women who are workers, heads of families and that, historically, constructed strategies of resistance in the confrontation of the structures of power engendered in the exploration of capitalism, patriarchy and racism and expressed in the relations of class, gender and race in which they were inserted along their lives. These categories dimension hierarchies and produce structuring subordination mechanisms since the formation of Brazilian society and in times of contemporaneity. In the foundations of this study, the focus of black feminists stands out, with emphasis on the intersectionality perspective in the interpretation of the multiple inequalities that are expressed in the daily life of the institutional and social relations that shape the lives of black women. This research investigates, particularly, as one of the strategies developed by these women, its relationship with public social protection, especially with the Brazilian Social Assistance Policy, discussed from the point of view of intersectionality. As a methodology, the empirical universe of research is based on a qualitative approach, carried out from October to December 2016, in Calabetão, a peripheral neighborhood in the city of Salvador, where semi-structured interviews were conducted with black women. The study was able to describe and analyze distinct trajectories of black women, which can, however, be expressed, in general, as experiences marked by precarious work; by the violation of rights as a constant presence and that extends in an intergenerational way; by a relationship with the family group as providers. It also revealed the importance of intersectionality between class, race and gender dimensions in the analysis of these trajectories as areas of tension between resistance, violence, autonomy building, exploitation / oppression. From this perspective, the work has drawn some axes of criticism of the policy in question as regards its lack of effectiveness and its role in the reproduction of forms of oppression against black women.

  • This study aims to discuss the access of homeless women to the health service in the city of Salvador-BA, given the specificities/difficulties experienced by this group. To better understand the experience of these women in the streets, the analysis seeks to examine how the class, gendeand race/color markers permeate the trajectory of these subjects and in what way they exert an influence on access to the health system, given the stigma that still surrounds this portionof the population. The main questioning that guides the discussion is whether, in fact, social protection with regard to access to health services have occurred in order to include this historically excluded segment of the population, especially in a scenario of dismantling social protection in Brazil, which in the field of health translates into the scrapping of the Unified Health System - SUS. Thus, in general, this research contributes to the understanding of how the dismantling of the social protection system directly affects the life of these women, making questionable the materialization of the SUS constitutional principles, universality, completeness and equity, in the reality experienced by them.

  • This work investigates the construction and implementation of the anti-trafficking in Women policies in the State of Bahia. Traffic in women is an old practice in society, historically linked to the remnants of the slave regime in the colonial period, which has acquired characteristics and specificities according to the historical, political, social and economic context in force. The feminist debates that took place in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries around the so-called "White Slaves Trafficking", and the "People Trafficking", later, were fundamental to change the definition and conceptualization of traffick in women. These political and theoretical interventions by feminists who were struggling to defend the human rights of women in trafficking situations have greatly influenced the contemporary construction of public policies to combat traffick in women. In Brazil, there is a late interest of the State in implementing the National Policy ratification of the Additional Protocol on Prevention, Suppress and Punisment on People Trafficking, especially Women and Children, from the United Nations. In the state of Bahia, the State Policy for People Trafficking began to be implemented in 2007 with the setup of the Anti-trafficking State Committee. This exploratory research aims to analyze and identify how the State of Bahia has been acting in the implementation of public policies to confront traffick in women through its legal norms and public equipment, through the feminist perspective of gender and human rights. For this, the institution responsible for confronting traffick in people in the state of Bahia, the Center for Confronting Traffick in People (Núcleo de Enfrentamento ao Tráfico de Pessoas - NETP–BA), from the Justice, Human Rights and Social Development Secretariat, located in the city of Salvador, and the Parliamentary Inquiry Commission (Comissão Parlamentar de Inquérito - CPI) on Traffick in People and Illegal Adoptions, held by the Legislative Assembly of Bahia, in the period from 2013 to 2014. It was used bibliographic survey, structured interviews and documentary analysis as instruments of data collection. The subjects chosen to apply the interview were the professionals who make up the professional team of NETP-BA and parliamentarians responsible for building the CPI of Traffick in People. The results obtained with this research made it possible to conclude, among other things, that the materialization of public policies in Bahia does not consider the gender perspective, and there is no structured and articulated attention network nor specific resources intended to face human trafficking in the State of Bahia.

  • In this research, I have sought to analyze the potential of diverse pedagogical practices in the context of Science Teaching as tools for raising the self-esteem and motivation of girls from the State College of Plataforma in the construction of their life projects and possible interest in the scientific career. The interest in carrying out this research arose from the analysis of results obtained after applications of activities in science classes, such as sexuality workshops developed by the scholarship recipients of the Institutional Program of Initiation to Teaching - PIBID. These activities led to the demystification of some concepts, behavioral changes and greater participation of young people in activities proposed in the classroom. The lecture "Women and Scientific Careers: How to get there?", Which was delivered by NASA scientist, Nagin Cox, consisted of an event that also yielded good results from the perspective of this study. The model of research thinking occurred within the perspective of feminist studies based on the epistemology of the Standpoint Theory, proposing to break with positivist science in the construction of the object of study. The methodological strategies consisted in the promotion of discussions among the girls, based on a didactic sequence on the participation of women in scientific careers, in the production of knowledge and in the History of Science. The methodology, supported by the analysis of the discourse of the written records as well as the data referring to the observation in the classroom context. Science activities have the potential to stimulate the search for scientific careers. However, in practice, in relation to this developed activity, it was not enough for the motivation and awakening of the girls' interest to follow this field. The hypothesis raised, would be that what one has from the point of view of society and even by their statements about the roles of boys and girls, the posture of assuming a rupture that is to follow a scientific career, to a girl who comes from a suburban, poor family, mostly black neighborhood means breaking with many issues: class, race and gender. This scenario, perhaps, will narrow the possibility very much if you want to think about it. Initiatives can stimulate and this was an awakening. From this result it is possible to infer that these activities possessed this potential, but it is necessary that there is continuity, it is necessary a greater investment in these types of actions in the school so that it is possible to tell a more effective history.

With this, several researchers and researchers dedicated themselves to the understanding of this phenomenon seeking to understand what causes, consequences and possibilities of coping. There are a series of analyzes and perceptions with reference to violence in heterosexual relationships, that is, the other loving arrangements did not receive the same dedication. Thus, the present work focuses on the issue of violence in relationships between women in the lesbian perspective. With an exploratory character, lesbian narratives are presented about their experiences regarding love bonds and episodes of violence. Although in the social imaginary these relations are seen as egalitarian and permeated by care, reality presents other possibilities. Thus, various plots permeated by love, violence, idealizations and possibilities of new affective constructions are shown here

  • This dissertative text aims to stimulate a reflection on the meanings of the presence of black women in the informal labor market, apprehending informality as productive experiences historically developed by black women since the end of the slave production mode as a form of survival and resistance to the process of exclusion from wage labor in formation by the capitalist mode of production. Through a historical analysis, this dissertation sought to understand the construction of the image of black women as a working woman in the nineteenth century and their apprehension of capitalism, until the present time, and the use of this as an instrument of reproduction of inequalities of gender, race and class. For this, this work was developed having as pillars of discussion the following categories: Black Women; Job; Informal Work Market; Inequalities of Gender, Class and Race and as privileged locus of research the Constellation of Arts Cooperative work, through a case study. The realization of the research had the possibility of approaching the reality of life and work of women artisans and seamstresses in order to understand the meanings of the presence of these women, mostly black in the informal labor market.

  • This work presents an analysis of the films Luzia-Homem (1987), Guerra de Canudos (1996) and O auto da Compadecida (2000), with the objective of perceiving the identities of northeastern women built by Brazilian cinema. In addition, understand how the movement the national cinema promotes from the building of the female characters in those films. The representation of the sertão also had space in the construction of this study, realizing the maintenance or not of stereotypes referring to the nature and society of the Northeast. To this end, this study used feminist studies, based mainly on discussions of patriarchy, gender and identity. In this sense, we use the methodologies of image analysis, discourse analysis and content analysis to understand the film narrative in a more complete way. Thus, it was possible to conclude that national cinema is a tool for reducing tensions regarding gender roles and relations, making possible the appearance of other lines of representations and constructions of diverse identities of the female characters

  • The aim of this study was to understand how discourses and practices of Marcha das Vadias Recife (SlutWalk) interact with Brazilian contemporary feminism. In order to achieve that, the trajectory of Marcha das Vadias Recife (MVR) from 2011 to 2017 was reconstructed. Connections between body and politics in the MVR were analyzed, as well as its approach to the racial issue, in relation to gender, sexuality and class. The study adopted a feminist epistemological perspective of situated knowledge. Data were collected on the Internet, including debates and images; through ethnographic insertion during the 7thedition of MVR (2017), including preparatory processes; individual interviews and discussion group with member of the MVR organizing collective. References included studies on trajectories of Brazilian feminisms; concepts of sexage and appropriation, elaborated by francophone materialist feminists; contributions from the Black feminist thought, using the concept of interseccionality, enriched by historical and decolonial perspectives which approach the mutual constitution of gender, race, class and sexuality in Latin America. The results show that MVR is part of a set of feminist urban and youth expressions initiated in the 2010s, in which Internet plays a central role, with strong public presence, in the streets and in the social networks, organized by small groups which create open platforms for individual and groups to voice their demands, without the mediation of consolidated organizations of the feminist movement. Results also show that MVR maintains its vigor, acting through a quite organized collective, attracting thousands of women to their annual demonstrations, taking active part in the public debate and establishing alliances in the feminist field. With its political agenda – in which body autonomy and sexual freedom are central –, and with its protest repertoire – in which the body appears in the public space as the vehicle of its messages – MVR participants question hegemonic conceptions on women, confronting the appropriation of women. Racial dimension was identified as a significant source of tension to MVR, which is criticized due to the limits of its practices and discourses to encompass Black women‘s experiences. Significant efforts of MVR organizers to improve their approach to racial issue were observed, through promotion of public debates, through active dialogue with Black women‘s organizations and through their public statements and performances, impacting the configuration of its organizing collective, its political action and the establishment of alliances.

  • In this thesis I propose (re) look to the issue of gender violence against rural women workers. Semantic symbols "man-ridge of the House" and "woman-owned the nose" emerges from the trajectory of five years devoted to the study of women rural workers to the cities of Governor Mangabeira and Muritiba situated in the Recôncavo Baiano, under a feminist and gender perspective. The first challenging words translate this path to unravel the empirical-theoretical gender violence on women's brazilian historiography, I started the background from the focus woman, women and their stories (good or bad) counted. Patriarchy is played through the gender violence, sometimes translated as symbolic violence, a continuum and in this context "I see the future to repeat the past...". Against the patriarchal system, the feminist movements and the movements of women respond by winning the legal framework, the Maria da Penha Law: struggles, resistances and achievements. The empirical basis of this research followed the methodological track to (re) construction of the investigated object, (re) knowing the geographical space of the field research: who's who? Life stories: Heroes and warriors, subject of field research. How many life stories were collected in each municipality mentioned? Who were the women who participated in the stories or narratives? A brief ‘profile’. Stub for a self-portrait: it. Key issues that guided their narratives related to the problem. Thus was built a 'roadmap' of interview, with indication of the thematic content analysis technique of Bardin to treat data gathered during field research. The string writing was concerned with the theme on women, their memories, country and policies and highlighted personality of Margarida Alves, from your identity while working woman, the March of Daisies, symbol of feminism peasant and your fight against gender violence in the countryside, in the claim by public policies. The field work has resulted in the construction of a mosaic of gender violence in the life stories of 20 rural bahian women workers. To recall and resign the narratives of their life stories in rural local contexts, emerged several categories: religion, in which anchor to withstand a lot of pain; connubial made, undone and redone; gender violence identified; intergenerational violence, the intersection of axes of subordination – being a woman; be black; rural worker [class], domestic violence and ' familiar ' and your reflex in children; the gender violence against women ' old '; ' women of the street ' [extramarital relationship] – "do you deny it." Among the findings of the survey, rural women who manage to break through abusive relationships become responsible for economic sustenance of the family group and, above all, "real housewives of your own nose", but those who continue living with the authors of violence still perceive your work as "help", because they are women, who is social reproduction, while reaffirming the male role of provider, such as "ridge of the House", without which the family cannot survive.

  • The discourses produced by legal medicine books and tradition have crossed centuries and still legitimize nowadays the pathologization, exclusion and violence against the LGBTQI+ population. By doing so, it has strengthened the ―true sex‖ logic as Michel Foucault (1982) called as a result of the enormous search for intelligible bodies in modern western society during the XIX century. They were seen within a heteronormative pattern, denying the existence of sexual orientations and multiple gender identities in the name of dichotomous binarisms woman = vagina = femininity and man = penis = masculinity. The medical science, represented by both Legal Medicine and Psychiatry, was the greatest propagator of those discourses, always creating and recreating nomenclatures with the purpose of situating this population in the field of the abnormality, with their bodies and minds exposing to legal medical analyses, imposing what they considered as normality. The feminist and queer critical theoretical contribution, as well as the discourse analysis of Portuguese and Brazilian books as a methodology, reveal how much the LGBTQI+ population nowadays suffer the reflection of prejudices and violence of all those discursive constructions of the past. In this context, from the analysis of these books of the XIX- XXI centuries, this thesis aims to make a critique of medical science; which remained with the status of "absolute", without making dialogue
    with other scientific fields or individuals who were directly affected with normalizations and normatization on sex and gender.

  • The high number of complaints involving violence against women, and in particular domestic violence, makes us reflect on the possibilities to reverse this situation. The law 11.340, known as Maria da Penha Law, enacted in 2006 in Brazil, characterized as a crime of domestic violence against women, assigning penalties for offenders and creating protection systems for women. The Specialized Police Service to Women (DEAMs) became a means for women to denounce their abusers and receive the protection and the necessary monitoring. However, few Brazilian cities have DEAMs, and / or other equipment for specialized care to women in situations of violence. To this end, by a feminist epistemology, I directed my gaze to the social relations created by women living in two inner cities, Cachoeira and São Félix, Bahia, through the application of semi-structured interviews, I sought to reconstitute a network of persons / agents, that is, personal social networks of support in their confrontation with domestic and conjugal violence. In the present work, I took the opportunity to reflect on how the presence of social networks in the context of conjugal violence can contribute to the confrontation of the same through four testimonies of women living in these cities, two of Cachoeira and two of São Félix. These networks are composed of family members, neighbors, friends, support groups and institutions, such as churches which, as I noted, can be decisive for or departure of women in violent relationships because they act through a set of actions that ensure the psychological, moral and material to those who need help.

  • This dissertation aims debate prostitution at Praça da Sé of Centro Histórico de Salvador from my work experience in Projeto Força Feminina religious institution that carries out educational, assistance and vocational actions with the women who prostitute themselves in that place; comprising, particularly, racism and sexism from the narratives and representations of black and white women. Our major hypothesis is that the diasporic images surrounding the universe of constitution of mulher negra (black woman) character embodying at the same time, an identity no real existence: the prostitute. Thus, we support the idea that this social imaginary influences the entry of these women into prostitution universe as well as defining the position they occupy in the development of this activity. Specifically we seek discuss from prostitution scientific productions the shape how black and white women are represented; identify, through speeches from black and white women sex workers the sexuality, gender, race/ethnicity and class crossings; to make explicit the social representation of racism from black prostitutes. The theoretical framework up support among other reflections and productions made from the Black Feminist Thought. The methodology for data collection is based on the support of oral history in their variations, focus groups and indepth interviews. Our findings suggest that it is the structural racism of social relations in Brasil giving indirect support for that black women enter into prostitution and directly constitutes another phenomenon responsible for the inequalities experienced by these women in the exercise of their activity.

  • This dissertation approaches the theme of heterosexual monogamous marriage and its role in the construction, actualization and maintenance of gender inequality, from the theoretical field of feminisms. Considering the polysemy of the term marriage, the research adopts the concept of gender technology, formulated by the feminist thinker Teresa de Lauretis, to correlate the feminist production to the theme of marriage. The analysis is based on central works of Western feminism such as The New Woman and Sexual Morality (Kollontai, 2000), The Second Sex (Beauvoir, 1967), The Feminine Mystique (Friedan, 1971), The Longest Revolution (Mitchell, 1967), Sexual Politics (Millet, 1971), The Dialectic of Sex (Firestone, 1976), and The Eunuch Woman (Greer, 1971) in order to understand the position of the authors on marriage as a locus of subordination and exploitation and ways to break and subvert this fate. By contextualizing the debate on marriage, the discussion addresses as problems the formal and legal equality in the marriage contract and the claim for equal marriage in the critical perspective to liberal conceptions of Western white feminism as the dominant political discourse. In this way, it is understood that feminisms are spaces for creating political realities that are resistant to the heteropatriarchal system with regard to marriage.
