Masculino e feminino nas telas de cinema: relações de gênero e a construção do militante “ideal” no período da ditadura civil-militar brasileira (1964-1985).

Abstract

The present study problematizes the discursive production of “ideal”militant figure during the Brazilian civil-military dictatorship (1964-1985) based on filmic narratives produced of this period of national history. It constitutes, therefore, as objective of this research to analyze the film speeches acclimatised in civil-military dictatorship period, investigating the "roles" of masculine and feminine in militancy and armed struggle. Therefore, this analysis is divided into two parts. While the first discusses the male discursive strategies about the ideal body to join the armed struggle, the second is the resistance produced by the female to also be recognized as suitable to participate in the armed struggle, and the manifestation of gender relations arising in particular of torture carried out on the woman's body. The main three films analyzed are “Cabra-Cega”, “O Que é Isso, Companheiro?” and “Que Bom Te Ver Viva”. These works are taken as a source of research because they establish views on the idealized bodies to armed struggle. The films in question were analyzed from the Discourse Analysis, seeking the discursive webs that build identities of the subjects investigated in this study. This research is justified by the deficiencies found within the historiography on gender relations and women’s participation in the left of militancy in the civil-military dictatorship period in Brazil.
