Full textThis research deals with the multiple relations of power between body and space, at different scales, involving the practice of voluntary termination of pregnancy. The criminalization of induced abortion does not prevent thousands of clandestine procedures from being performed annually in Brazil. Illegality contributes to insecurity in the practice and constitutes a public health problem. Against this situation, feminist movements have been fighting for legal and safe abortion in the name of the health, the sexual and (non) reproductive rights and the women's bodily autonomy. In this context, the study looked at how abortion practices involve multiple territorial scales of power and resistance, trying to answer three main questions: What is the practice of induced abortion? How can the relations between body and space be evidenced from a scalar perspective of this practice? And, in that sense, how can the body constitute a scale of resistance? In order to achieve this proposition, the theoretical-methodological reference was based, above all, on the feminist currents of Geography, which understand that space is not neutral from the point of view of hierarchical gender relations, and in multi scalar territorial approaches Research strategies included data collection carried out through an extensive bibliographical and documentary research, in addition to semi-structured interviews with nine Brazilian women, between 24 and 38 years of age, who has, at least, one experience of clandestine abortion. Data processing consisted in transcription of the interviews, categorization and content analysis. The study showed that the practice of induced abortion consists of a complex matter that involves legal, medical, religious, economic and emotional aspects. In addition, with the safe abortion (made in a hospital environment) legal restrictions to only three situations (rape, risks to the woman’s life and anencephaly), women resort to clandestine clinics and/or to drugs purchased in the illegal market. Thus, both clandestine practices and struggles for the decriminalization of abortion analyzed throughout the study are examples of resistance and subversion to established norms, reinforcing our statement that the body can constitute spaces of resistance.

Full textThis research aims to understand the gender relations as an element of the geographic scientific production in Brazil. The path of understading this phenomenon was drawn by a gathering of 90 online scientific journals undercontrol by geographic entities and available to be accessed with the classification of Qualis System – CAPES between the layers A1, A2, B1, B2, B3, B4 and B5, based on the three-year period 2013 – 2015. The collected papers found in these journals presented an universe of 13.990 papers. For comprehension of the current configuration of the postgraduate studies in Brazil, it was made a data collection on the 55 universities with postgraduate studies programs in Geography, which allowed the composition analysis of the teaching and student staff from theses programs, reflecting on the publication of papers. In the same way, it was realized a search in editorial boards of 90 online journals released for access. The dada presented show that the scientific field of the brazilian geographic science is marked by these structural elements that are inserted in daily practices of the legal and institutional systems, keeping a productivity hierarchy of the scientific knowledge. Even if the brazilian geographic science presents a relevant female participation when compared to the male, the women have a less significant participation. It is evident that the gender and sexuality thematics, even inhibited by hegemonic geographic patterns, still has researchers that dare and challenge the fixed borders in scientific field.
Esta pesquisa tem por objetivo compreender as relações de gênero como elemento da produção científica geográfica no Brasil. A trajetória de inteligibilidade do fenômeno foi traçada em torno de 90 periódicos on line científicos mantidos por entidades geográficas e disponíveis para acesso com classificação no Sistema Qualis – CAPES entre os estratos A1, A2, B1, B2, B3, B4 e B5, com base no triênio 2013 - 2015. A coleta dos artigos encontrados nesses periódicos apresentou um universo de 13.990 artigos. Para entender a atual configuração da pós-graduação no Brasil, foi realizado um levantamento nas 55 universidades com programas de pós-graduação em geografia, o que possibilitou a análise da composição do corpo docente e discente destes programas, que refletem nas publicações dos artigos científicos. Da mesma forma, foi efetivado um levantando nos corpos editoriais dos 90 periódicos on line liberados para acesso. Os dados apresentados comprovam que o campo científico da ciência geográfica brasileira é marcado por seus elementos estruturais que estão inseridos nas práticas cotidianas dos sistemas legais e institucionais, mantendo uma hierarquização da produtividade do conhecimento intelectual. Assim, ainda que o campo científico geográfico brasileiro, apresente uma significativa participação feminina, quando comparada à masculina as mulheres tem uma participação menos significativa. Comprova-se que a temática de gênero e sexualidades mesmo inibida pelos padrões geográficos hegemônicos ainda conta com pesquisadores (as) que ousam e desafiam as fronteiras fixadas no campo científico.

Mexican artist and global phenomenon Frida Kahlo (1907-1954) fascinates and inspires people from all walks of life. Rather than simply approaching the life and work of Kahlo from a traditional art historical perspective, this dissertation draws from the interdisciplinary nature of critical human geography to investigate Kahlo. Specifically, this work is informed by two sub-fields of critical human geography—feminist geography and cultural geography. Kahlo’s iconic status as a feminist symbol makes feminist geography an obvious choice while cultural geography provides the dominant methodology of textual analysis. Both sub-fields are drawn together by the use of a poststructuralist theoretical foundation that views no one meaning or interpretation as fixed, but rather posits that meanings and interpretations are fluid and open to a variety of conclusions. The primary research question in this dissertation is, “How are the critical geographies of hybridity, embodiment, and glocalization developed and explored in Frida Kahlo’s art and life?” The question is answered through the geographical exploration of Kahlo’s work, life, and iconic status as a major public figure. I delve into each of the three components of the question (hybridity, embodiment, and glocalization) by connecting geographical concepts and understandings to Kahlo and her work. I extend this exploration by arguing that Kahlo demonstrates how the self both mirrors and constructs critical geographies. This research seeks to expand and deepen the understanding of Kahlo as a significant geographical figure—an artist who was intensely aware of people and place. Additionally, this research draws together diverse threads of geographic inquiry by highlighting the interdisciplinary and humanistic qualities of the discipline. Perhaps most importantly, this dissertation positions Kahlo as a critical geographer—defying the sometimes arbitrary and limited notions imposed on the discipline and its practitioners. I assert that Kahlo’s work and life are inherently a lived expression of geographical ideas that manifest themselves in a physical, mental, and emotional sense. Ultimately, Kahlo constructs an embodied geographic text—creating knowledge and helping people understand identity and place in a different way.

nü
, Istanbul from the perspective of feminist geography. Neighborhoods gendered with bachelor rooms situated near the commercial heart of the big cities as a sociological and historical phenomenon in Turkish urban context have been christalized reflections of segregated heterosexual gender structure of the society being these neighborhoods the performative spaces of masculinities for centuries. This study also tries to relate the bachelor rooms with traditional single male migration from rural to urban. These neighborhoods provide space for the performance of different masculinities and they function for young provincial men as a kind of &ldquo
rite of passage&rdquo
for various kinds of social transitions. The knowledge of migration, of masculinities, and of space related to these transitions is accumulated in the homo-social spaces of the district and constantly recirculated through migrant bachelors among the local traditional masculinities. Masculinities of not only the immigrants from rural, but of urban space, including space bounded masculinities specific to the district have been categorized from the perspective of hegemonic masculinity concept and concluded that the construction of hegemonic type of masculinity with contestations and discourses through performances, representations and the power relations influences the transformation of space and are influenced by these spaces of masculinities.

Full textA presente dissertação pretende compreender a dinâmica demográfica do município de Santa Maria/RS mediante o enfoque das relações de gênero e de conjugalidade. Dessa maneira, procura-se, como objetivo geral, entender as relações de gênero através dos contextos do patriarcado e do espaço paradoxal, conceitos de exímia importância para a Geografia Feminista e estudos de Gênero. A investigação apresenta como objetivos específicos: a) espacializar a análise da dinâmica demográfica em Santa Maria/RS enfocando os diferentes valores dos dados demográficos (renda, alfabetização, chefes de domicílio, proporção da população por sexo), conforme bairro pelo Censo 2010; b) Buscar interpretações das correlações de dados censitários na qualidade e percepção das mulheres que vivem o recorte espacial obtido no objetivo a ; c) Interpretar a dinâmica populacional através das relações de conjugalidade, considerando as condições sociais das mulheres do Bairro Agroindustrial, recorte espacial de estudo. Metodologicamente, as etapas da pesquisa estão alicerçadas em interpretações oferecidas pela realização de entrevistas com mulheres residentes no referido bairro, visando expressar suas vivências. Entre os resultados do estudo, ressalta-se a permanência de concepções patriarcais na fala das entrevistadas, mesmo que grande parte delas já estivesse inserida no mercado de trabalho e no acesso ao aprimoramento educacional.
