Qual o lugar das mulheres na docência? Um estudo sobre a presença das professoras de dança de salão em Campina Grande.

Abstract

This dissertation comes up with the task of breaking with the hegemonic narratives about the Ballroom Dance in Paraíba, axis Campina Grande, which for a long time tended to insist on the maintenance of a unique history of the doers. It aimed to critically analyze the presence of women as teachers, in the context of teaching Ballroom Dance, with the interest in questioning the place of the man, considered as a knowing subject. For this, through systematic readings and analysis, a theoretical framework was built concerning the relations established between Ballroom Dance, body and teaching, in dialogue with the studies of gender and sexualities, instersectional and decolonial Feminisms. Researchers such as Katz and Greiner (2005, 2021); Silveira (2018; 2021); Polezzi (2020); Ribeiro (2019); Nascimento (2021); Lugones (2019); Oyèronké (2021); Tireakone (2019); Kilomba (2020); Spivack (2010) and BeokHoll (1989). The methodological approach combined, field research through application of semi-structured interviews and analysis of the examples that constitute the corpus of the research. It is expected that this study will contribute to a survey of issues for a broader debate, while untold stories can rise for the decolonization of teaching. Finally, it is proposed to foster possibilities for a transgressive teaching, which allows various experiences of women who challenge the patriarchal powers and the refusal of subordination imposed on the bodies of women, as well as a transformation of historical consciousness and the reevaluation of the protagonism of teaching people, especially in a dance that the generification of bodies is also a place of power.
