É, ele me colocou no lugar onde só tinha mulheres... Foi aqui que eu me fortaleci: cartografias do enfrentamento da violência contra mulheres em Cruz das Almas-BA

Abstract

The system of production of the genres, which takes as real the male-female dualism, considers the morphological characteristics of a genitalia, substantial for the inscription and construction of the subject-body, naturalizing the social discourse of biology, thus making it a powerful technology in the pedagogization of bodies. The biological identification of male and female transcends the concept of sexual dimorphism - a concept coined by biology that designates morphological difference between male and female of the same species - and functions in the qualification and imposition of a normativity forged in apparatus of power. Once unequal places are set up to serve the binary game of the sexes, the same biological discourse serves the naturalization of the inferiority of the feminine in the power games. Violence against women is a consequence of the historical inequality of gender created and maintained by and between the structures of a society from the mechanisms of power. It is rooted in traditional patterns and in the form of conception of the state and cultural institutions anchored in the hegemony of heteronormative masculinity. It is produced in the historical events of a culture, so the scenes of naturalized violence pass in our bodies and eyes, in the interim of our daily lives, sewing and producing marks. The present work consists of the cartography of the production of gender violence against women and the details of the processes of coping with this phenomenon in Cruz das Almas-BA, from the announcements that emerge through the Reference Center for Women and the actions mobilized to the confrontation with VCM, especially those entangled in the context of education. Mapping as a methodology proposes to draw maps that conform planes of force and provisional configurations of the political object of the research. The maps and contours will be configured as the bodies are affected and, therefore, produce effects. Violence is substantially linked to the production of heteronormative masculinity, affecting all women, however, from the place where we speak and we touch and were touched on black women, women with little schooling, Christian women and middle age. Regarding the coping processes, in the devices that should work while fighting the VCM, mechanisms of maintaining this violent structure for our bodies also circulate. However, pedagogies enter the fissures of concrete and subjective in educational institutions and other contexts, enunciating and making other ways of producing lives, overlapping the logic of the colonial system of hierarchical genres.
