Demarcar telas e ocupar redes: mulheres indígenas e os discursos de (re)existência nas redes digitais

Abstract

This dissertation studies how the discourses and cyberactivist practices of indigenous women are constructed on the social network Facebook, understanding their narratives constructed as a discursive subject in virtual spaces, in an attempt to deconstruct stereotypes about the image of indigenous women and indigenous peoples. It was also sought to understand how these spaces are used to promote debates focused on indigenous issues present in the current Brazilian scenario, as well as cyberactivist practices as a form of female indigenous resistance, based on the event "Indigenous Blood Journey: no more drop”. To compose the study corpus, four publications were selected from the aforementioned journey of two indigenous women active in indigenous movements and of great social visibility today, who are Sônia Guajajara, from the Guajajara people and currently executive coordinator of Articulation of Brazil's Indigenous Peoples (APIB), and Célia Xakriabá, professor activist of the Xakriabá people. Netnography and French Discourse Analysis (AD) were used as theoretical foundations and scientific method, having as reference authors such as Hine (2000), Pêcheux (1996, 2001) and Orlandi (2001). And also several authors who address indigenous and gender issues, such as Segato (2012), Sacchi Monagas (2014), Lugones (2014) and Krenak (2019). Speeches were found that defend gender equality and, mainly, the defense of indigenous rights, including the demarcation and struggle for territory, in order to make evident the resistance of indigenous peoples to indigenous policies created by the government. And even more, the importance and role of indigenous women in current social movements.
