SUMMARY:
This dissertation proposes a radical contextualization of Brazilian Black women with Bahia’s pagodão as an analytical entry point, from a perspective that articulates cultural studies and Black feminisms. The initial hypothesis is that different temporalities and identitarian and affective engagements (GOMES; ANTUNES, 2019) are articulated with/on/through racialized and gendered bodies in Brazil, and pagodão appears as a place of struggle,
conformation and intersection of these engagements. We take radical contextualization (GROSBERG, 2010) as a theoretical-methodological approach that seeks the possibilities of social transformation through the articulation, disarticulation and rearticulation of contexts. We assume affective engagements as "organized in and through discursive and cultural practices, mobilizing political engagements" (FARIAS, 2021). Investigating pagodão and its
articulations with identity engagements (of race and gender) from the perspective of black feminisms (COLLINS, 2019; hooks, 2019; NASCIMENTO, 2021; LORDE, 2020; DAVIS, 2016; GONZALEZ, 2020), we will see how the genre is mobilized as a confrontation with Western, white and colonial expectations of respectability and morality, and, at the same time, can promote the reiteration of cisheteronormative behaviour and the hypersexualization of Black women. We propose an analysis based on the figure of the mucama, introduced by Lélia Gonzalez (2020), which is spun into two other notions: the maid and the mulata, which, in contemporary times, reconfigured in figures such as the piriguete and the businesswoman, allow us to see affective struggles around ideas such as success, empowerment, visibility and sexual freedom. Thus, in order to radically contextualize Brazilian Black women in/with pagodão, based on elements from the different temporalities that this musical genre articulates - as proposed by Raymond Williams (1979) - and the affects that engage and are mobilized by the artists, we have connected a wide range of materials: music and lyrics; demographic data; music videos; interviews; comments, posts, memes, videos and other online publications made by audience members; recordings of live shows; archives of websites dedicated to the genre; among other materials. In this way, we investigate the relationships between Black feminisms, identity struggles, history, economics, politics and culture in contemporary Brazil, articulated around pagodão in Bahia.
