Dengos e zangas das mulheres-moringa: Vivências afetivo-sexuais de mulheres negras
The work recovers affective-sexual trajectories of black Brazilian women from different socioeconomic contexts and generations and analyzes subjective and interpersonal experiences in the online world and beyond. The author takes a look at the issue centered on the intersectionality of gender and race and establishes a useful dialogue with canonical works of Brazilian social thought, gender studies and black feminism. The complex, multidimensional and sensitive approach to the theme investigated explores the delicate weaves of subjectivity and intimacy to unveil how the articulation of gender and race in Brazilian society establishes ways of seeing, being and feeling, crystallizing bonds and separations.
Nem teúdas, nem manteúdas: História das Mulheres e Direito na capitania da Paraíba (Brasil, 1661–1822)
In: Global Perspectives on Legal History
This book develops a legal history of colonial women as a methodological approach to studying the women of Paraíba, a captaincy on the northeast coast of Brazil, from the end of the Dutch occupation (1661) to Brazilian independence in 1822. It uses the concept of multiple normativities to analyse dozens of daily life cases from Portuguese and Brazilian archives. To study women's everyday normative contexts in a colonial space, the author analyses traditional Ius Commune and Portuguese legal sources from different jurisdictions, but also legal doctrines, medical treatises, moralist works and literature to enrich interpretations in women's history, gender studies, feminist legal theory and legal history. Furthermore, she examines the impact of these normative traditions in the colonial Captaincy of Paraíba and focuses on normativities of a more pragmatic character, analysing archival documents portraying women's daily life situations relating to both secular and religious jurisdictions. The analysis demonstrates that the law from the metropole neither offered pre-established solutions for women's daily lives, nor was it applied unchanged in the colony. On the ground, law was dynamic, and the interplay of multiple normativities provided different possibilities that depended on the intersection of women's condition and status, religion and sexual options, proving that sex and gender categories are not immutable, but, on the contrary, flexible according to the practices of law in colonial Paraíba.
O processo civilizacional da tourada: Guerreiros, cortesãos, profissionais... e bárbaros?
This book challenges conventional wisdom about bullfighting. With an innovative approach, based on the work of Norbert Elias, the author argues bullfight is the result of the interaction between transformations of society and decisions that aim to create bullfighting rules. In the course of history, bullfighting became civilized, that is, pacified, in the sense that the level of self-control in the conduct and emotions of both bullfighters and public increased. This does not mean that violence has disappeared, but that it has acquired new traits. This historical path, from the 15th century to the present, is reconstructed in these pages by analyzing bullfighting in Portugal through the viewpoint of the regulation of violence, its public exposure and its relationship with the population's patterns of behavior and sensitivity. - Este livro desafia a sabedoria convencional acerca das corridas de touros. Com uma abordagem inovadora, a partir da obra de Norbert Elias, defende que a tourada é o resultado da interação entre as transformações da sociedade e as decisões que visam criar regras sobre a lide do touro. No decurso da história, a corrida de touros civilizou-se, ou seja, pacificou-se, no sentido em que foi aumentando o nível de autocontrolo na conduta e nas emoções quer dos toureiros quer do público. Tal não significa que a violência tenha desaparecido, mas sim que adquiriu novas faces e contornos. Este percurso histórico, desde o século xv até à atualidade, é reconstruído nestas páginas analisando a corrida de touros em Portugal através do prisma da regulação da violência, da sua exposição pública e da sua relação com os padrões de comportamento e de sensibilidade da população.
