Morte de mulheres nas dinâmicas da violência urbana em Fortaleza: diálogos com mulheres-integrantes de movimentos feministas e de organizações da sociedade civil

Abstract

Fortaleza is one of the most violent cities in Brazil, with a crescent amount of deaths among teenagers and the youth. More specifically, the last three years point towards a significative increase of young women in the dynamics of urban violence. This work discusses the psychossocial processes concerning the issue of the women deaths in these dynamics of urban violence, that unfolds from the following problem-question: What sort of analysis the stakeholders from feminist groups produce in face of the problem of women‟s death in the context of urban violence in Fortaleza? We propose a dialogue, therefore, between social psychology, relevant authors from the field of philosophy, such as Michel Foucault, Gilles Deleuze, Félix Guatarri and Judith Butler, and, additionally, amongst transfeminist, intersectional and decolonial perspectives, through a discussion with Sayak Valencia, Sueli Carneiro, Lélia Gonzalez, Achille Mbembe and Angela Davis, for example. The pluralist assembly of the toolbox of research theories is justified by the understanding that a transdisciplinar perspective may help us to analyze the complexity of such process in the city of Fortaleza. We aim, therefore, as general goal of the research, to cartograph the psychossocial processes regarding the problem of women‟s death in the dynamics of urban violence in this city, considering, in that way, its movements from the sensemaking eleborated from women integrating feminist movements and/or civil organizations that are major stakeholders in this subject. In order to that, we have three specific aims: 1) To get to know how participants of feminist movements and/or civil organizations analyse the transformation of the dynamics of urban violence and its effects in women living in the marginalized areas of town. 2) To discuss how, in theses analyzes, there are intersections of social markers in the process of victimization of the women. 3) To reflect onto the practices of resistance to the problem of women‟s death that these movements and/or civil organizations produce. We shall use two “ferramentAções”: participative observation and semi-structured interviews. Here, these interviews will have the function of main “ferramentAção”, being complemented by the participation in acts and social mobilization processes concerning this problem, with the use of the field journal. In this sense, it is a question to understand these dynamics and to coproduce critical narratives regarding this phenomena with women that act in movements and organizations in the field of human rights. The results of the research are structured in five analyzers: 1) The relation of the phenomena of women‟s murdering within the urban conflicts in a network of violence against women; 2) the selectivity of this particular form of victimization, as we problematize who are these women dying in the dynamics of violence ofFortaleza with the intersection of different social markers; 3) The effects of the transformation of criminal violence in Fortaleza in the "social deterioration" of these women from the outskirts of town; 4)The brutality of the murdering of women exhibited in videos that go viral in social networks through the dispositive of “decretation”; 5) The narrative of criminalization of women who die in this context throught the creation of the psychosocial image of the “envolvida”, and 6) the ways, paths, experiences and clues of resistance that women who integrate feminist movements and civil organization have been producing collectively. We hope, therefore, with this work, to facilitate other perspectives into the phenomenom of women‟s death in the dynamics of urban violence, that are capable of enhancing the tools to “intervene” in this field. We aim, also, to frame the potency of this collective fights from feminist movements and civil organizations regarding their challenging of these logic of violence against women, as well as to emphasize the potency of a politics of research in Social Psychology that can establish alliances with several female voices, allowing "liveble" lifes movements to be affirmed as resistance against technologies of necropolitics.
