Creators
- 1. Universidade de Brasília (UnB)
Description
Cinema is a form of artistic expression that has great social impact, contributing to the formation of values, opinion, dissemination of ideas, ideologies and cultures. Thus, the present study is a systematic review whose objective was to analyze, in the human sciences, articles, theses and dissertations published on the participation of Latina women in cinema. The research was carried out in four databases: PePSIC, Google Scholar, Biblioteca Digital Brasileira de Teses e Dissertações (BDTD) and ProQuest, and the last one includes nine other databases, chosen by convenience in the period from December 16 to January 3, 2023. The descriptors “cinema”, “latin women” and “representation” in Portuguese, English and Spanish, and the Boolean operators “AND” and “OR” were used, and 15 studies were located (eight articles, five theses and two dissertations). Three categories of analysis were elaborated: 1) Cinema, a look at the Latin woman; 2) Cinema and the eroticization of the Latin woman; and 3) Cinema as feminine resistance analyzed in the light of the Cultural-Historical Psychology theory. The results indicated the scarcity of scientific work in the area, the eroticization of the female figure, the colonial and patriarchal look, and the perpetuation of stereotypes. However, the female struggle to find her own space and tell her own story, to break with the standards imposed by years of slavery and forced subservience, was evident.
