“Meu grito não tem medo do teu falo”: a formação política no interior de coletivos estudantis feministas do sul de Minas Gerais

Abstract

This research proposes to investigate the Student Collective that articulate themselves pro equality of gender, considering the political participation of young student women inside four Youth Organizations from two cities in the countryside of Minas Gerais. From this point many reflections about these Young Feminist Organizations come up, due to my part in a research group called “The education dimension of the young organizations”, developed as an extension program in the Federal University of Alfenas. The main goal is to understand how these political formation processes happen inside the Young Feminist Organizations, analyzing the contribution of their own experience to these Collectives, to form these young women. The research has an ethnographic trait, since it seeks the understanding of the cultural processes of the own significances in the studied group, with terms and concepts considered “native”, that can be observed in the interactions of these individuals with the group. The gathering instruments of the data are the participant observation with the production of a Field Journal and semi structured interviews. I use, therefore, the references proposed by the post-colonial anthropologists from the Third World, aiming to decentralize the translation of the symbols from the European hegemonic perspective, focusing on the categories of subordination, proposed by the Indian and the Brazilian anthropologists, Gayatri Spivak and José Jorge Carvalho. To the analysis of body, power and gender, mainly do I use Judith Butler’s background and the philosopher Michael Foucault. As main results, we can point to the fluid trait and capacity from the articulation of the Students Collective, beyond the huge reflex of the political moment of regressions of civil rights over the micro-spaces in which these Organizations are inserted. I finally consider the Feminist Students Collectives as part of what makes the choir of counter discourses over the hegemonies consolidated on Education and I point its characteristic of political construction self-representative, therefore, insurgent, according to Jacques Rancière. Thus, I conclude that the Students Collectives from the countryside of Minas Gerais help us in the processes of the shifting of the imperialist narratives, putting the condition of subaltern in the middle of the speeches.
