O poder sobre o corpo feminino: a mulher do campo e os papeis de gênero (1970-1990)

Abstract

This article aims to bring a brief analysis of the power that culture has over the female body, which is the body of rural women. The construction of the male and female subject goes through different social norms, from the family to the religious and social space. Throughout this text, we sought to understand the concept of culture, as analyzed by Eagleton. We sought to understand the northeastern subject analyzed by Durval M. de Albuquerque J. and how the curriculum can be thought of as better working customs and beliefs that feed cycles of violence and roles stipulated to men and women in the countryside. Through the analyzed theorists and their perceptions, we can say that cultural practices have influences in the construction of society, as well as in the construction of the fieldwork. With regard to the strong rooting of machismo, patriarchy, and the various types of violence against the female gender, which ends up making it impossible for women to enjoy their freedom, their right to speak, to be worthy of respect, to be judged for her choices, her faults and not for the simple fact of being a woman.
