Entre a política e o movimento: as concepções e as práticas políticas de mulheres negras no Morro da Polícia

Abstract

This research is part of a series of studies on women activists from popular classes. From a dialogue with political anthropology and black feminism, especially from the intersectional perspective, this master thesis aims to analyze how a group of black women understands their practices in a community association located in Morro da Polícia, in a rough area of Porto Alegre. Based on an ethnographic approach, I followed the daily practices of the members of the Association, especially Rosa, between July and September 2018, totaling three months of field survey. In this period I followed events organized by the Association in the locality and also accompanied the members in other events where my interlocutors participated. In accompanying the daily routine in the Association, this thesis evidenced different levels of action and policy perception in this space, articulated with elements that intersect in the activism of these women.
