Feminismo negro e produção do espaço: as ocupações urbanas em uma abordagem interseccional-espacial

Abstract

The Rosa Leão Occupation is one of the three occupations in the Izidora region, Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, among the protagonists of one of the country's largest land conflicts, involving about 30,000 people. In this context, the dissertation aims to discuss intersectionality as a spatial tool based on the stories of the Rosa Leão Occupation, from the experience of the black women living in the occupation. This proposal is based on the construction of a space of contribution, called a crossroads involving the inhabitants of the Occupation, the researcher, militants and activists in the territory and intellectuals, who take turns in this space leaving their contributions. The proposal also is based on black feminist thought, especially the debate on feminist black epistemology and the theory of the point of view, developed by this thought. From this perspective, we seek to locate intersectionality as a formulation that starts from black feminist thought, to propose the simultaneity of relations of oppression of gender, race, class, sexuality and others in society, forming a complex plot that involves oppression and activism. On the other hand, this thought points to the complexity and transescalarity of the relations of power and domination, challenging binary models of oppressor-oppressed. From this seam and the situated case of the Rosa Leão Occupation, the proposal of spatial intersectionality will be woven as the recognition that intersectionality is a spatial process that takes place in, through, under and between bodies. In this sense it is recognized that spatiality is intersectional, being race, class, gender and space constitutive processes. In this construction space is considered as encounter, multiplicities and openness. Thus the production of space is at the same time the simultaneous production of marked subjectivities.
