Memórias da militância: reconstruções da resistência política feminina à ditadura civil-militar brasileira

A intenção deste artigo é fazer um estudo da maneira pela qual a memória sobre a ditadura civil-militar brasileira, especialmente a resistência política feminina, é reconstruída no filme “Que bom te ver viva”, dirigido por Lúcia Murat e lançado em 1989. Pautando-se por uma perspectiva que se baseia no cruzamento dos estudos de memória com o pensamento feminista, procura-se perceber o filme como manifestação da memória, verificando de que modo os paradoxos e tensões presentes articulam-se na narração da sobrevivência após um período traumático. Os estudos de gênero são pontos de apoio para observar de que forma as convenções de feminilidade são (re)construídas. Diante disso, notou-se a ênfase dada pelo filme às questões subjetivas que ficaram silenciadas nos anos de militância, caracterizadas principalmente nas discussões sobre violência e sexualidade – temas caros ao feminismo.

Força de trabalho feminina no Brasil: no interior das cifras

Teoricamente, este artigo foi elaborado do ponto de vista do FEMINISMO, compreendido este enquanto uma nova perspectiva científico-politica. Por conseguinte, rejeita-se a posição do denominado feminismo radical, segundo a qual as relações de gênero constituem o principio fundamental estruturador das sociedades capitalistas, assim como se refuta a posição daqueles que reduzem a textura complexa das sociedades de classes a lutas de classe. O feminismo como perspectiva cientificopolítica não apenas leva em consideração estes dois antagonismos, como também suas interrelações. Daí deriva a concepção deste tipo de sociedade em termos de capitalismo-patriarcado e não como capitalismo patriarcal. À luz deste esquema teórico de referência é examinada, ao longo da história, a desigual incorporação da mulher na força de trabalho brasileira. Se durante o período 1872-1982 os dados a respeito deste fenômeno sofreram mudanças, houve, por outro lado, muita conservação de fenômenos discriminatórios contra a mulher, no interior das estatísticas. Ou seja, o grosso das trabalhadoras continua ocupando posições subalternas, recebendo salários mais baixos pelo desempenho da mesma função, exercendo duas jornadas de trabalho. Estes fenômenos como também os que deles decorrem, só poderão ser eliminados pela luta contra o patriarcado-capitalismo, pela destruição desta simbiose, que propicia a dominaçâo-exploração de quase todos por muitos e de mulheres por homens.

Geografia e gênero: considerações sobre a produção acadêmica brasileira

This work aims to understand the ways that have led Brazilian geographers to use the gender category as an analytic element in other to understand the production of space, through the theoretical perspective of Feminist Geographies. Thus, it is important to consider, in the history of geographical science, the theoretical and methodological foundations which enabled the inclusion of gender in researches, since this subject belongs to the field of Anthropology and Sociology and it rarely appears in geographical investigations. It is understood that the gender, as an analytical category of intertwined social relation of space, comprising not only the femininity as well as masculinity and transexualities, analyzed in a relational perspective. However , greater emphasis on the understanding of woman as an agent of space will occur, due to the importance of taking the role of women in building the world out of the hidden of history. Therefore, some works produced in Geography in Brazil will be presented and discussed in order to give visibility on the treatment of space and gender relationship

Confidências: os ensaios críticos de Kate Chopin

Between 1894 and 1899 Kate Chopin (1850 – 1904), one of the main exponents of American Realism and Feminism, published seven critical essays in newspapers and journals. To this number, it might be added the sketch ―Confidences‖ and the two first entrances of Impressions, her second diary, totalizing nine texts. These texts unveil a refined critical spirit, an outspoken and edge-cutting style in writing, sometimes sarcastically merciless, and an eager reader, all of them aspects that would be put into practice by the Feminist criticism expressed in the author‘s novels and short stories. To introduce and briefly discuss these essays are the main purposes of this paper.

Leitura crítica da produção literária de Alfonsina Storni

This paper presents the trajectory traced by the Literary Criticism on the poetry of Alfonsina Storni, an Argentine writer of the early twentieth century. The first literary production of Alfonsina Storni, called modernist or tardorromántica (SARLO, 1988), is produced in the period 1916-1925; from Ocre (1926), she marks a break, confirmed in their last two books of poetry, Mundo de siete Pozos (1935) and Mascarilla y Trébol (1938), with the label of vanguardism and new aesthetic experiences such as antisoneto. Regarding the Criticism built over the poetic work of Alfonsina Storni by his contemporaries, we have three positions of reading: approaches biographical criticism and proposals for readings of critics and poets linked to Vanguard Argentina and made some critical texts by women from the middle academic. According to Salomone (2006), the criticism made by third trend marks another landmark of the constitutive deed of Alfonsina Storni, show tensions and positions that differ from the hegemonic critical. Subsequently, there is setting up a Women's Literature, along with a normative critique, which will consider the production book produced by women as produced by a subject biological woman, and that represents certain textuality with naturalized features peculiar to women. Today, in light of the Critical Feminist and contributions of Discourse Analysis, especially on the concepts and the connections between language and power, a critical reading of the production female, consists of texts of women writers since the mid-nineteenth century, is focused as a result of an ideological perspective and typically androcentric patriarchal, for example, on poems by Alfonsina Storni. According to Alice Salomone (2006), from the 80s of last century, the look on the production literary Latin American writers has another approach, which she calls "critical current: feminist criticism and modernity cultural".

Sobre a idade das crises: as inter-relações sujeito-identidade-feminismo na pós-modernidade

This essay intends to think critically and theoretically on the interrelations among subject, identity, and Feminism in the context of Postmodernity, a context which will be herein denominated ―Age of Crises. These three aspects will be approached under a Historical perspective and put into question in a philosophical sight guided by Post-structuralistic theories, especially Derridian Deconstruction. In general, the main objective is to reach into a discussion about the undecidable inter-relation between Feminist thinking and Postmodernity, which is one of the configurations of the many contemporary crises. In order to do so, it will be necessary a previous discussion on the postmodern subject and its identity. This discussion will open up the possibility of contextualizing and discussing Feminism inside the intended objective. This discussion will be structured around the word ―crises which, in a compositional relation to the word ―age, will be taken as a synonym for ―Postmodernity and ―contemporary. ―Age of Crises, ―Postmodernity, ―contemporary, and ―Feminism will be words haunted by the phármakon phenomenon, a key aspect for Derridian Deconstruction, which will be the gravitational force that approximates and separates, in an undecidable relation, those signs.

Nosso corpo nos pertence? discursos feministas do corpo

The aim of this paper is to analyze the contents of the feminist discourses on the body, as regards the continuities and changes in the social practices related to reproduction. It covers the period going from the 70’s to nowadays, when the growing improvement of medical science and technology has started interfering with the body and reproductive practices. We seek to understand how the inaugural discourses on the contemporary feminism related to the body have developed during this period, with the increasing use of reproductive technologies in France and Brazil. The feminist concept of self-control of the body has turned into the analysis of the fusion of body and technologies that build new identities

O gênero nas ciências da saúde: produção e reprodução de concepções sobre a diferença entre homens e mulheres

The historical and social process has built models of masculinity and femininity that culminate in standards and norms to be followed by individuals in their social interactions. In recent decades studies based on the discussions that originated in the feminist movement have been investigating how social institutions, including medicine and other health sciences, have established standards of masculinity and femininity throughout the history, nurturing this sexist discourse on common sense and sciences. Social roles are assigned to the genera specifying rigid boundaries of behavior and social control. The notion of the female predisposition to physical and emotional disorders has prompted speculation within academic strands culminating in the creation of specialized medical illness that would prevent the female, the male permeated by notions of endurance and strength has become synonymous of a healthy body, confirming the male domination and the economic and political role of men. This research concerned to study and investigate through semi-structured interviews and content analysis, conceptions of gender and the differences between men and women in reports of 11 health professionals. The results indicate that in large part the conceptions of health professionals reproduce the hegemonic discourse about what being a man and woman. Further research could investigate the relationship between women and men with health care as well the care provided by health professionals

Amélia Beviláqua que era mulher de verdade: a memória construída da esposa de Clóvis Beviláqua

Based on Clovis Bevilaqua’s four biographies which present three stigmas of the character - being the son of a priest, engaged in a large grammatical legal controversy with Rui Barbosa in making the Civil Code of 1917 and married to a wife of exotic modes - we discuss the built memory of Amelia Carolina Freitas Bevilaqua, who is marked as a pioneer of the feminist movement in Brazil and also upstart writer who aspired to join the Brazilian Academy of Letters. Among other negative adjectives, she was sloppy, not vain and misaligned in dress, futile or adulterous.
