FEMALE BODY AND GENDER VIOLENCE: AN ANALYSIS OF THE DOCUMENTARY “CHEGA DE FIU FIU”

Abstract

Historically, it has been noted that the domestication and standardization of the female body can be recognized as a considerably long-lasting and flexible strategy of social control, also fulfilling an ideological function that can unfold into several forms of violence. In this context, this article aimed to comprehend how the female body and gender violence are addressed in the 2018 Brazilian documentary Chega de Fiu Fiu. From a thematic content analysis, the main results highlight the objectification and submission of women by men, which, when naturalized, reinforce and reiterate the moral harassment and sexual violence that victimize women in our society.
