Narrando a própria história : análise da representatividade de mulheres pretas através do canal de Gabi Oliveira

Abstract

This study analyzes two video series from the YouTube channel of Gabriela Oliveira, better known as Gabi Oliveira, a black content creator who discusses social issues, race, and representation. The research focus on the analysis of the videos in which Gabi shares her experience as an exchange student in the United States and those in which she discusses the process of adopting two children, exploring how her presence in historically exclusive spaces challenges racist structures. The study is based on Richard Johnson’s Circuit of Culture, examining the processes of production, text, reading, and lived cultures within these videos. The methodology combines content analysis of the videos and audience comments, aiming to understand the impact of these narratives in deconstructing racial paradigms. In addition to addressing racism and representation, this research investigates how occupying these spaces serves as an act of resistance and social transformation, considering the intersectionality of race and gender.
