Cinema, mulheres e direito à cidade: O (não) pertenciamento ao território

Abstract

This dissertation analyzes the technical, aesthetic and resignification strategies of female action in the urban spaces of cities in recent productions of contemporary Brazilian documentary cinema. In this scenario, the film analysis of three documentaries is initially of interest: at the national level, Chega de Fiu Fiu (2018), by Amanda Kamanchek Lemos and Fernanda Frazão and Afeto (2019) by Gabriela Gaia Meirelles and Tainá Medina, and Riscadas (2019) , by Karol Mendes , in the local clipping. The films deal with the right to the city and the experiences of female bodies in public spaces, using different aesthetic resources and promoting debate on the topic. It is based on the theoretical framework composed of reflections on Brazilian documentary cinema, the right to the city and contemporary feminist theory, especially the issue of harassment in the studies of Joice Berth and Djamila Ribeiro. Under a race perspective, it also addresses reflection on the plurality of the feminist movement, based on studies by bell hooks and Audre Lorde, taking into account the narrative construction of each work. Based on a bibliographical review and film analysis, the aim is also to expose the action of cinema as a narrative potential for the debate on gender issues.
