Quebradas feministas: estratégias de resistência nas vozes das mulheres negras e lésbicas negras da periferia sul da cidade de São Paulo

Abstract

The aim of this dissertation is to know the feminist-politic-artistic’s activities maden by black women and black lesbians, organized in feminist movements, that take place in the South suburb of São Paulo City. This research intends to present how such movements promote narratives that undermine sexist and racist speeches, helping new sense making to individual and group experiences. It can be noted that interventions and activities undertaken by women open possible paths against discrimination, stigma and submission given by gender, race, sexuality and class social markers. Research-Action-Participant in women activities, their production examination, personal interviews (3 women) and a focus group were conducted to keep track of women’s performance in this scenario, since their narratives and practices also emerge from the unregular critical space that I am in. Feminist epistemology were applied, supported by black feminists, women, lesbians and latin american perspectives, which were considered proper references because they reflect on different women oppression experiences, in many contexts
