Produtoras culturais: um estudo sobre a participação das mulheres na produção cultural brasileira

Abstract

This research aims to analyze, characterize and describe in which terms the participation of women in Brazilian cultural production is developed. Among the main objectives to be achieved by the present study, we highlight the need to understand how the female cultural producers enter the job market in the área of cultural production; to understand what are the characteristics that constitute the job market in which they operate; and how gender and power relations are configured within the scope of cultural production, among other more specific aspects. The importance of the proposed initiative in this dissertation is evidente in the existence of few studies regarding the theme, especially the lack of specific studies that analyze the participation of women in Brazilian cultural production. Thus, the making and the relevance of this research is justified as well. The analyzes were proceeded from the narrative of the female cultural producers, through interviews and the application of a questionnaire so that the professionals could give their opinion on the main characteristics of their daily work, allowing a very complete diagnosis about the performance of women as cultural producers in the Brazilian context to be made.
