This book challenges white and Western feminist approaches to
embodied politics, or the use of the body in everyday enactments of
resistance, while mapping transgressive performances of
femininities by the funkeiras, marginalized women and transfeminine
people of color artists in Brazilian favela funk. Often studied
from a white feminist perspective, embodied politics reflects
debates about agency and structural change that are generally
applicable to white women in the West. Concurrently, studies of
femininity tend to universalize experiences of gender oppression
encountered by white women to women across the globe. In this work,
the author offers a transnational perspective on the performative
force of embodied politics as a possible means to disrupt white,
classist heteropatriarchal structures that oppress particularly
poor women and transfeminine people of color in Brazil. This
project has a threefold goal: first, it challenges the theoretical
shortcomings of white feminist approaches to embodied politics,
providing instead a transfeminista take on the concept. Secondly,
this project aims to shed light on how traditional methodological
approaches have hindered nuanced understandings of women and people
of color and their performances. Third and finally, by challenging
and re-envisioning the potential of embodied politics from a
transnational perspective, the text intends to contribute to the
field of critical intercultural communication's growing but still
limited research around bodies and performance, especially of those
who are marginalized in global contexts.
