Fazer Marielle Franco presente: história de vida, interseccionalidade e sociologia

Abstract

Based on the questions raised by a high school sociology class, very moved by the murder of city councilwoman Marielle Franco, which caused national commotion, an activity was organized to present her personal and political trajectory. In order to base the class on the intersectional perspective, the main didactic resource represented the silhouette of Marielle's face, in the form of a drawing, composed of five inseparable parts. Each fragment had a sociological category: class, race, gender, sexuality and protagonism, which, discussed with the class, prior to the collage of each piece, promoted reflections on the meaning of the concepts and how they intertwine with Marielle's life story. The work approached classic concepts of Social Sciences, such as Émile Durkheim's social fact, through an inventive look and starting from a problematization raised by the class.
