ANTI-SEXISMO EM PERFOMANCES E EXPERIMENTAÇÕES FEMINISTAS: CONTRA A VIOLÊNCIA E A DISCRIMINAÇÃO DE MULHERES

Abstract

Our research of scientific initiative proposes artistic interventionst to be presented to the community through our involvement with the Maria Lacerda de Moura Collective (Maringá / PR), aiming a performative discussion of the "biopolitical" [1] and subordinated body, as well as itsways of resistance and re-signification. The main objective is to build body performances [2] that includes the feminist activism with the possibility of scenic expression.Our methodology covers theoretical foundations of feminist references and productions in the arts and also the development of interventions in public spaces and events. In our preliminary results, we describe two activities carried out in 2013: a) at the International Women's Day (March 8) and b) in the Maringa’s SlutWalk (August 3). We believe that political and feminist appropriation of the artistic languages assists in the re-signification of the body building new representations and meanings about women.
