Diante da intensificação do processo de encarceramento feminino verificada na última década e das nefastas consequências que decorrem da prisionalização, a presente pesquisa voltar-se-á para a análise da criminalidade feminina a partir de uma perspectiva de gênero, a fim de identificar as especificidades do comportamento feminino e revelar como o gênero e as relações de poder dele decorrentes estão essencialmente entrelaçados na construção da realidade criminal. Para tanto, será adotada uma abordagem histórica sobre o conceito de gênero e da sua introdução analítica nas ciências jurídicas, a fim de compreender de que forma o paradigma de gênero colabora para a transformação do discurso jurídico. Em seguida, será exposta a trajetória das teorias criminológicas, passando pelos caminhos das teorias demonológicas até as feministas, com a finalidade de investigar as diversas abordagens da criminalidade feminina. Por fim, a partir da análise de processos criminais que tramitaram perante o Superior Tribunal de Justiça e abordaram o crime de tráfico de drogas para dentro dos presídios, serão investigados concretamente os diferentes aspectos que as questões de gênero podem relacionar-se com o fenômeno criminal. / In view of the intensification of female incarceration verified on the past decade and the nefarious consequences that follows the imprisonment, the following research will focus on the analysis of the female criminality from a gender perspective, willing to identify the female behavior specificities and reveal how the gender and the following power relations are essentially associated in the framing of the criminal reality. For this purpose, will be taken a historical approach about the concept of gender and its analytical introduction on the legal sciences, in order to understand how the gender paradigm collaborates for the legal discourse transformation. Afterwards, it will be established the criminological theories path, through the demonological theories up to the feminist theories, to investigate the various approaches about feminine criminality. Finally, from the analysis of processes that were processed before the Superior Tribunal de Justiça and addressed drug dealing into prisons, will be investigated truly the different aspects in with gender issues can relate with the criminal phenomenon.

This research aims to describe and analyze the process of historical construction of subjectivities of women prisoners of Paulo Afonso’s Penal Set, highlighting the diversity of experience and invisibility of the condition of the female public relatively to male prison public. The epistemological assumptions of qualitative-interpretative methodology of post-critical inspiration, stands as theoretical north for comprehension of general categories of knowings production (knowledge, truth, power relations and speeches) concerning to gender, education and crime. The review of the literature concerning the female crime relatively to male crime disclose the exiguity of studies and researches about the theme, particularly in educational scope. It were consulted several informational sources and instruments of data collection, such as: participative observation, record at field diary, and semi-structured interviews conducted with 15 women and 10 men, giving special highlight to women voices, the cultural construction of identities and ways of subjectivation. Discursive textual analyze reveals dimensions of gender relations, disadvantageous experiences of forged intimacy, cloistered by power relations, iron grids and walls in jail. The life’s histories uncover episodes of violence, passion, fear, pain and suffering in daily life. The prison system intercalates gender and education into the educative processes in a wide, diversified sense, encompassing the several formal and informal ambit, institutional and non-institutional. On the other hand, both educative scenarios reflect the binary conception about gender (class, race, age/generation, sexual orientation) stating standards and ways of being and living as a woman or a man in society. The results question the guidelines, aiming the humanization of the service conditions, guarantee of rights and dignity, free legal aid, qualifications opportunities, so the prisoners may glimpse a future without discrimination. It is worth emphasizing that, instead of closing parentheses and present closed conclusions, we point the sensation of having touched and hit the center and object of this research, which concerns to the female prisoners. / Esta pesquisa objetiva descrever e analisar o processo de construção histórica de subjetividades de mulheres presas do Conjunto Penal de Paulo Afonso/BA, destacando a diversidade de experiência e invisibilidade da condição do público feminino comparativamente ao público masculino prisional. Os pressupostos epistemológicos da metodologia qualitativa interpretativa de inspiração pós-crítica constituem o norte teórico da compreensão das categorias gerais de produção dos saberes (conhecimentos, verdades, relações de poder e discursos) referente a gênero, educação e criminalidade. A revisão da literatura concernente à criminalidade feminina, comparativamente à criminalidade masculina, expõe a exiguidade de estudos e pesquisas sobre o tema particularmente no âmbito educacional. Foram consultadas várias fontes de informação e instrumentos de coleta de dados como: observação participante, registro em diário de campo e entrevistas semiestruturadas realizadas com 15 mulheres e 10 homens, atribuindo-se especial destaque à voz das mulheres, à construção cultural de identidades e modos de subjetivação. A análise textual discursiva desvela dimensões das relações de gênero, vivências desvantajosas de uma intimidade forjada- enclausurada por relações de poder, grades de ferro e paredes no cárcere. As histórias de vida descobrem episódios de violência, paixão, medo, dor e sofrimento no cotidiano. O sistema prisional intercala gênero e educação aos processos educativos em sentido amplo, diversificando, abarcando os vários âmbitos formais e informais, institucional e não institucional. Em contrapartida, ambos os cenários educativos refletem a perspectiva binária de gênero (classe, raça, idade/geração, orientação sexual) estabelecendo padrões e modos de ser e viver enquanto mulher ou homem na sociedade. Os resultados questionam as diretrizes com vistas à humanização das condições de atendimento, garantia dos direitos e dignidade, assistência jurídica gratuita, oportunidades de qualificação, para que as apenadas possam vislumbrar um futuro sem discriminações. É meritório destacar que em lugar de fechar parênteses e apresentar conclusões fechadas, destacamos a sensação de ter tocado e atingido o centro e objeto desta pesquisa, que diz respeito às mulheres presas. / São Cristóvão, SE

This thesis challenges the traditional view of the 'femme fatale' as merely a dangerous and ravenous sexual predator who leads men into ruination. Critical, especially feminist, scholarship mostly regards the femme fatale as a sexist construction of a male fantasy and treats her as an expression of misogyny that ultimately serves to reaffirm male authority. But this thesis proposes alternative ways of viewing the femme fatale by showing how she can also serve as a figure for imagining female agency. As such, I focus on a particular character type that is distinct from the general archetype of the femme fatale because of the greater degree of agency she demonstrates. This 'criminal femme fatale' uses her sexual appeal and irresistible wiles both to manipulate men and to commit criminal acts, usually murder, in order to advance her goals with deliberate intent and full culpability. This thesis reveals and explains the agency of the criminal femme fatales in American Hardboiled crime fiction between the late 1920s and the end of World War II in the works of three authors: Dashiell Hammett, Raymond Chandler and James M. Cain. The criminal femme fatales in the narratives of these authors show a subversive power and an ability to act - even though, or perhaps only if, this action is a criminal one. I show that these criminal femme fatales exhibit agency through their efforts to challenge not only the 'masculine' genre and the criminal space that this genre represents, but also to undercut the male protagonist's role and prove his failure in asserting control and dominance. Hammett's narratives provide good examples of how the criminal femme fatales function on a par with male gangsters in an underworld of crime and corruption. Chandler's work demonstrates a different case of absent/present criminal women who are set against the detective and ultimately question his power and mastery. Cain's narratives show the agency of the criminal femme fatales in the convergence between their ambition for social mobility and their sexual power over the male characters. To explain how these female characters exhibit agency, I situate this body of literature alongside contemporaneous legal and medical discourses on female criminality. I argue that the literary female criminal is a fundamentally different portrayal because she breaks the 'mad-bad' woman dichotomy that dominates both legal and medical discourses on female criminality. I show that the criminal femme fatales' negotiations of female agency within hardboiled crime fiction fluctuate and shift between the two poles of the criminalized and the medicalized women. These criminal femme fatales exhibit culpability in their actions that bring them into an encounter with the criminal justice system and resist being pathologized as women who suffer from a psychological ailment that affect their control. The thesis concludes that the ways in which the criminal femme fatales trouble normative socio-cultural conceptions relating to docile femininity and passive sexuality, not only destabilize the totality and fixity of the stereotype of the femme fatale in hardboiled crime fiction, but also open up broader debates about the representation of women in popular culture and the intersections between genre and gender.

Subject of the presented paper is press image of murderous mothers in Czech press of the 2nd half of the 19th century through early 20th century. Industrial revolution contributed to several changes in central European society, for example higher mobility of the population, including young unmarried women, who hereby became separated from their relatives. There is a fear of moral corruption in the society, a fear related to unrestricted sexuality and extramarital pregnancy, which could lead to the murder of the unwanted child. Contemporary press largely contributed to form a stereotypical image of murderous mothers. Press articles also served as moral stories, which could normatively influnce the readers.

The purpose of this thesis is to examine the experiences of South African women prior to, during and after incarceration. The theoretical bases for this study include the general strain theory (GST), feminist pathways approach and Goffman’s “total institutions”. The study made use of a qualitative research design. In-depth interviews were conducted with a total of twenty female ex-prisoners, who were selected using snowball sampling, to obtain information about their experiences during the periods indicated. The findings of the study indicated that, in respect of the three periods mentioned, the participants cited their experiences during incarceration as the most prominent as they tended to dwell more on this phase of their lives than any other phase. This is, in fact, not surprising as their narratives portrayed their lives behind bars as having been traumatic with far-reaching consequences for their lives after their incarceration. The study found that some of the participants had histories of emotional and physical abuse before their offending behaviours. It emerged that consensual same-sex sexual relationships between females in South African prisons exist and that these relationships are, sometimes, accepted by the family members of the female inmates. The participants reported that coercive sexual relationships also take place in female prisons in South Africa. It was also reported that the conditions under which females are incarcerated are, for the most part, deplorable. It emerged that the female prisoners use a unique monetary system which is based mainly on the trade by barter system. In addition, the findings revealed that female inmates often experience daunting challenges upon their release from prison, including high rates of unemployment, stigma and discrimination, family breakdown and the psychological effects of imprisonment, all of which often compound the resolve of some of the participants to live crime-free lives. / Sociology / D.Litt. et Phil.
