Mulheres na pandemia: a exposição das margens

Abstract

The present work aims to examine, using the formation of the social image as a visual narrative interpretation tool, how women, specifically black women, are precarious in the neoliberal capitalist system, suffering even more deeply during the social and economic crisis caused. By the pandemic of the new coronavirus in Brazil. As a hypothesis, it is argued that women are kept on the sidelines of the current social image in the Brazilian pandemic period and beyond, in a methodological and historical way, developed by the system so that it can support itself from the unpaid, racialized and precarious work done. for these women, which is why there is a need to expose this reality, which in the period of crisis of the viral outbreak takes on its own contours. In order to achieve this goal, we will investigate, from the first to the last sections, how Brazilian capitalist development moved from liberal to neoliberal composition, using the sexual division of labor as a pillar, placing women in certain spaces and making them responsible for unpaid reproductive work , at the same time that it took advantage of racist and classist constructions to support its education, leading black women to figure at the top of the exploitations and the base of the social pyramid, which, in pandemic times, means being more exposed to the harms of the crisis and its exploratory and subalternizing consequences. The research uses a qualitative methodological approach, with procedural bibliographic and documental analysis and a deductive method. This is a relevant study, covered with broad social relevance, since it is essential to discuss and understand this social reality, so that changes can be thought of for this record.
