Interseccionalizando a epistemologia feminista: olhares em torno das narrativas do crime de feminicídio em Belém do Pará (2006 – 2020)

Abstract

This research proposes to develop a debate on the importance of intersectionalizing feminist epistemology, and promotes emphasis on the views of narratives and representations around the crime of feminicide in the Metropolitan Region of Belém do Pará, analyzing the reports present in the police sections of the newspaper Diário do Pará, from 2006 to 2020, period chosen to understand the impacts of Brazilian public policies aimed at women, such as the Maria da Penha Law (2006), going through the establishment of the Feminicide Law (2015), until the first year of the Covid-19 pandemic (2020), a year that registered Pará as the state with the highest number of feminicides in the country. The methodology of the study is based on the feminist epistemology evidencing the situated knowledge, based on what Sandra Harding (1996) proposes when considering a feminist production that highlights women's experience as theoretical and empirical resource, the political orientation of knowledge in favor of women and the need to situate the point of view of the investigations produced. Emphasizing above all the knowledge provided by black and decolonial feminist theories. In light of this, the research brings up discussions regarding the typifications of feminicides with emphasis on concepts such as Femirracides, Lesbocides, and Transfeminicides. A discussion about Controlling Images and discursive problematics when narrating violent crimes against women such as "The Passive Voice of Guilt", "The Use and Abuse of the Supposed" and the Narrative as discursive chain used frequently by the dominant structures. Bringing up the debate about feminicide puts into vogue a perspective that is urgent, promoting the prevention of these crimes, from education, public policies and through discourses.
