“…O debate epistemológico acerca do estatuto do corpo na contemporaneidade é intenso e está documentado em quadros de teorização geral da sociedade (BOURDIEU, 2008(BOURDIEU, , 2009GIDDENS, 1991GIDDENS, , 1994GIDDENS, , 2002FOUCAULT, 1987FOUCAULT, , 2007FOUCAULT, , 2009, fornecendo uma série de subsídios teóricos que impactaram não só nos esforços de construção de uma Sociologia do Corpo (LE BRETON, 2003, 2004, 2010TURNER, 1995, SHILLING, 19931997) mas também nas agendas investigativas sobre esporte FRANCOMBE;ANDREWS, 2014;McDONALD, 2007), gênero (EVERS;GERMAN, 2017;COFFEY, 2017;PAVLIDIS;FULLAGAR, 2015), cultura física GIARDINA;NEWMAN, 2011), arte (FITZPATRIC, 2017) e saúde (DE PIAN, 2012;WRIGHT;BURROWS;RICH, 2012;GARD, 2017). Ademais, tais produções sinalizam para esforços intelectuais adensados no sentido de ampliação dos horizontes de entendimento sobre o corpo, afinal, como observa Ferreira (2013, p. 496): " [...] o corpo tem deixado de ser equacionado enquanto realidade una e homogênea para ser colocado num lugar de interseção de múltiplos discursos [...], cada um com uma variedade de pontos de vista, modelos de inteligibilidade ou elaborações conceptuais possíveis".…”

O presente artigo discute o agenciamento do corpo na modernidade reflexiva com base na teoria do sociólogo britânico Anthony Giddens. Orienta essa estruturação a articulação entre os conceitos de autoidentidade e reflexividade desenvolvidos em obras do referido autor. As reflexões oriundas da análise teórica levam a compreender o processo de construção e sustentação da “narrativa biográfica do eu” como um projeto relacional à reflexividade do corpo e que tem por objetivo maior oferecer e ampliar a margem de segurança ontológica aos agentes no contexto da modernidade tardia.

Feminist Knowledges as Interventions in Physical Cultures

et al. 2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Twitter @cathvi Recognising the considerable contribution of feminist theories and methodologies to understanding the power relations implicated in embodied movement and knowledge, this collection explores the possibilities of feminist interventions in physical cultures. Contributing authors draw upon a range of disciplinary perspectives, methodological and theoretical approaches that pursue questions about the gendered formation of physical cultures (across leisure, sport, the arts, tourism, well-being and related embodied practices). Several authors also offer a feminist engagement with emergent interdisciplinary field of Physical Cultural Studies (PCS) to consider the knowledge practices that shape debate about gendered bodies, relations and social change. The thread that connects these diverse approaches is the 'doing' of feminism as generative knowledge practice through particular theoretical and methodological trajectories that situate physical culture in particular material, discursive and affective relations (Braidotti, 2013). Feminist interventions in physical culture involve, in Sara Ahmed's (2017, p. 13) words, an enactment of "sweaty concepts" which refers to the explicit acknowledgement of how research and writing are always mediated by theoretical assumptions that 'do' things in the world.

Maidens, flirts and seducers: the objectification of women’s bodies in the musical works of Chiquinha Gonzaga

This paper discusses the objectification of women’s bodies in the discursive regularities present in the musical compositions of Chiquinha Gonzaga, a late nineteenth and early twentieth century composer from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Guided by Foucauldian discourse analysis, the paper argues that enunciations emerging from Gonzaga’s songs are triggered by the devices of sexuality, racial whitening, resistance, confession and marriage. Based in a musical discourse that references women with terms such as maiden, seducer, flirt, tasty and mulatto, these enunciations are demarcated by hierarchies of gender, ethnicity and social class. Even though the enunciations under investigation are associated with a particular musical era in Rio de Janeiro’s history, they are not far removed from dominant enunciations about women in contemporary Brazil. This suggests the difficulty of breaking away from representations that subjugate women, particularly when the patriarchal power relations that enabled these representations remain prominent.
