Entram em cena as tecnologias de subjetivação: corpos e desejos na cinematografia brasileira pela ótica de diretoras de cinema no período de 2002 à 2012 e suas implicações para (des)construção dos gêneros

Abstract

In the Brazilian context, gender studies are consolidated at the end of the 70s, with strengthening of feminist movements who had specific demands of the feminine universe. Over the years, this struggle for equal rights, has built a significant image of women's representation in society, which seeks to overcome traditional and stereotypical images, arising from patriarchal and chauvinistic forces. The construction of this change is the result of much criticism and theoretical elaborations by the academic community, interested in cultural studies and post-structuralist, he began to think critically about gender issues, and more specifically on the position and representation of women in sociocultural context. Therefore, understanding the analytical category of gender, took to the society, the recognition of a variety of forms of interpretation, symbolization and organization of sex differences in social relations, outlining a critical discourse that is also spread by the communication sciences, especially cinema. In this perspective, the intent of this research is to present a study on the image of women in Brazilian cinematography of films directed by women between 2002 and 2012. The films were selected and categorized according to a summary sheet in three different categories, movies that reinforce the woman's identity, films that question the identity of the woman and movies that deconstruct the identity of the woman and, before that, seeks to present a reflection that goes beyond identity categorization as a way to question the construction of premises defining genres and combining with the concept of Performativity to address the impossibility of defining identity, through standard for defining characteristics.
