"Mas tão brilho que vai ser esse sol, esses cacos, esse encontro": a proposta narrativa do “jornalismo de beirada” pelo coletivo Nós, Mulheres da Periferia

Abstract

This research aims to investigate the conceptual inspiration "jornalismo de beirada" founded by the journalistic collective Nós, Mulheres da Periferia. The choice for the collective enrolment by women who define themselves as black and peripheral, focus to the complex relation of their narratives in disputes and connections with the territories of a historiography in modernity- coloniality (QUIJANO, 2005; SEGATO, 2012), and with the constitution of “authoritarian modernization” of journalism (ALBUQUERQUE, 2010). In this sense, we adopted two conceptual and methodological movements to investigate the journalistic proposal of Nós, Mulheres da Periferia: 1) Approach the concept “beirada” of contemporary discussions of gender, race and territory, from the figures and conceptions about the “conscience of margins and fronteira/mestiza” (hooks, 2019; ANZALDÚA, 2005), trying to outline this movement that tensions, disputes and embodies the territories and the modern-colonial history of the nation; 2) Then, investigate how the “beirada” can be read as the formation of a narrative “safe space” (COLLINS, 2019), amid the discourse and methods of modern journalism with colonial aspects that understand the reality through a reading full of binarisms and exclusion. Finally, our intention in this research is to sketch the “beirada” in the approximation with journalism, always starting from a methodological proposal supported by written of black women and from the peripheries, realizing which historicities and other experiences it summons.
