Mulheres Invisíveis: a produção de um documentário

Abstract

This experimental project has its general objective to understand, through the making of a documentary, how the representation of prostitute cis women occurs in the media. Through the vision of cis women involved in prostitution, we propose to show the reality of their lives in the city of Santa Maria. In order to theoretically justify this project, we set out the basic concepts of Cultural Studies, culture and identity, representation, gender and prostitution as well as a brief historical survey of prostitution in Brazil and in the world. In the second stage, we seek to construct an empirical methodological analysis in order to select and examine the cuts made by Brazilian media vehicles, whether factual or documentary. In the third and last stage of the project, we discussed the whole production process of the documentary in the technical and practical aspects of the production and presented the results of the research.
