Danças bainas em solo sul rio-grandense: construindo representações de masculinidades de universitários gaúchos

Abstract

The present study sought to analyze the construction of masculinities representations of gauchos, members of University extension project "SwingaSul Movement", which centralizes your actions in order to provide the community participant experiences in dances originating in the context of Bahia, through weekly practical classes of dance. The research is based on assumptions of Cultural Studies and Gender Studies, weaving a dialogue with Foucaultiana theorizing from the assumptions that involve the Analysis of Discourse. The production of sources of research was possible through the use of semi-structured and individual interview, conducted with four students who participated in the action extensionists. Soon, the analysis indicates that the masculinities built were marked by hybridity and identity flow that cover social, cultural issues, gender and sexuality. In this perspective, the results show that while few adheres part of speeches, practices and representations disseminated by the gaúcha society, others resist and ignore indicating how their constructions are dancing masculinities.
