A influência do racismo nas relações afetivo-sexuais de mulheres negras

Abstract

The first study analyzes how the beliefs and behaviors of black women regarding sexuality have been reported in the literature. It is a study of integrative review of the literature, by means of the prism flowchart, not which descriptors “black women”, “behavior” and “sexuality” are used. The databases used are SciELO, PePSIC, LILACS, MEDLINE and PsycINFO. This study includes scientific articles published since 2012, in English and Portuguese, directly related to the topic analyzed; Resulting in 06 studies that we composed to show. It was possible to observe that the beliefs and behaviors of black women about sexuality are reported in various ways, tending to have three things in common: intersectionality, the cultural standard of beauty, and hypersexualization. Given these three axes, it was possible to outline the general objective of the second study that seeks to analyze the behavioral, normative and control beliefs of black women on the three axes mentioned: intersectionality, hypersexualization and cultural standard of beauty. Based on the theoretical framework of the Theory of Planned Action, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 10 women from different Brazilian states and with different levels of education. The interviews were transcribed and analyzed using the software Iramuteq. What can be seen is that the sexual affective relationships of black women are permeated by beliefs regarding their beauty - initially these women believed that modifying their glasses would be enough to reach certain spaces and be accepted, later there is a rupture of those beliefs. In relation to their sexuality, the hypersexualization of their bodies is present and there is social pressure for them to play a certain social role, which is also broken later. And the last axis of beliefs is evident from the concept of intersectionality, where these women are expected to offer questions pertinent to gender, race and class so that a lasting relationship can occur. Faced with social demand, the black woman today ends up breaking with the established pattern of beliefs, which leads her to a place of loneliness in affective-sexual relationships.
