Movimento de mulheres do Xingu (MMX)

Abstract

This article deals with the Xingu Women's Movement (XWM) as a form of resistance by Xingu women against various forms of intersectional violence to which they are subjected, presenting itself as an insurgent movement that seeks to occupy the decision-making spaces within and outside their communities. My objective is to demonstrate how their speeches and actions are aligned with a project of a more balanced society between men and women and human beings and nature (the concept of good living), through an analysis of several audiovisual materials together with a bibliographic review on themes of gender and ecology, resorting to the use of interviews and quotations as methods of exemplifying the cosmovisions and cosmopractices of the original women, and finally, I present this praxis as a model of collective interepistemological resistance against capitalist and individualistic “dis-involvement”.
