Não serei interrompida! Um estudo interseccional e discursivo sobre Marielle Franco

Abstract

This thesis analyzed and understood the intersectional representation of Marielle Franco, in the Brazilian political context, based on the theoretical-analytical device of Discourse Analysis, as proposed by Michael Pêcheux and Eni Orlandi. We take as a starting point data collected from the Brazilian political-electoral system that indicate that black women are a minority within the Brazilian political system. They are, in fact, the group that has suffered the most gender-based political violence. In this study we seek to analyze the discursive process put into operation by Marielle Franco in the context of anti-racist and anti-sexist struggles in Brazil, considering the space of Brazilian politics. In our theoretical device, notions such as, for example, conditions of production, discursive memory and subject position appear. We also propose a dialogue with other areas of knowledge, especially with black feminism, in a triad of gender, class and race, based on authors, such as, for example, bell hooks, Ângela Davis and Lelia Gonzalez, as well as authors references to understand women's participation in spaces of power, with an emphasis on politics, to which we highlight Flavia Birolli and Luís Felipe Miguel. From the analyses, we hoped to understand the relations of struggle and resistance in Marielle Franco's discourse. Our research showed that Marielle Franco, as a black woman, favela resident, mother and lesbian, joins an intersectional discourse, producing the defense of the social group she represents, from a perspective of collectivity and defense of black women, predominating sayings that they emphasized their place of speaking, in an anti racist and anti-sexist struggle, at the same time that they emphasize the need and importance of more black women in spaces of power, such as within Brazilian politics, so that there is a social balance of representation and presence.
