Women's movements and feminisms in Brazil have taken various forms throughout the years, contributing significantly to socio-political actions that favor gender justice. However, Brazilian feminisms remain on the margins of American academic discourse. In the United States, conceptualizations of feminism are often complicated by epistemological practices that treat certain political actions as feminist while dismissing others. The invisibility of Brazilian feminisms within feminist scholarship in the United States, therefore, justifies the need for further research on the topic. My research focuses on feminist articles published by Revista Estudos Feministas, one of the oldest and most well known feminist journals in Brazil. Using postcolonial, postmodern, and critical race feminist theories as a framework of analysis, my thesis investigates the theories and works utilized by feminists in Brazil. I argue that Brazilian feminisms both challenge and emulate the social, economic, and geopolitical orders that divide the world into Global North and South. / by Renata Rodrigues Bozzetto. / Thesis (M.A.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2013. / Includes bibliography. / Mode of access: World Wide Web. / System requirements: Adobe Reader.

CAPES / Esta pesquisa tem como objetivo identificar as narrativas sobre cultura popular brasileira que foram enunciadas na exposição Puras Misturas, que ocorreu Pavilhão das Culturas Brasileiras em São Paulo-SP, de abril a novembro de 2010. Para tanto, me atento às estratégias expográficas e curatoriais idealizadas e materializadas na mostra. Por material, utilizo as narrativas dos sujeitos envolvidos no evento, arquivos pessoais disponibilizados pelas curadoras e pelo arquiteto responsável pelo projeto expográfico, o catálogo da exposição e documentos alocados em arquivos públicos, levantados na fase de pesquisa exploratória. O método utilizado baseia-se no cruzamento entre a materialidade da exposição, visitada por meio da reconstrução da mostra, e as intencionalidades dos sujeitos envolvidos no projeto, acessadas por meio de entrevistas. Por fim, demonstro que a enunciação das narrativas sobre cultura popular aconteceu nas acomodações e contradições entre linguagem curatorial, expografia e seleção de artefatos para compor a Puras Misturas. / This research has as an objective to identify the narratives about Brazilian popular culture that were enunciated on Puras Misturas exhibition, that occurred at the Pavilhão das Culturas Brasileiras in São Paulo, from april to november 2010. To that end, I turn to the expographic and curatorial strategies conceived and materialized at that display. As a reference data, I use the narratives of the subjects involved in the event, personal files provided by the curators and by the architect responsible for the expographical project, the exhibition catalog and stored documents in public archives, gathered at the exploratory research stage. The method used is based on the interlacement between the exhibition materiality, visited by means of its reconstruction and the intentionality of the subjects involved in the project, accessed by interviews. Lastly, I demonstrate that the enunciation of the narratives about popular culture in Puras Misturas happened on the adaptations and contradictions between curatorial language, expography and artifacts selection.
