Sertanejo feminino em relações de gênero e consumo em Belém do Pará e em Parauapebas

Abstract

This research aims to understand the relationship between female country people's consumption in the state of Pará, using the cities of Belém and Parauapebas as a field of analysis, through the study categories: consumption, gender relations and material culture. Thus, these themes are brought to the object of study, taking into account characteristics of female country music entertainment, as well as the dynamics that develop in the concert circuit and on the communication and dissemination access platforms for these singers. Based on ethnographic research, interviews with interlocutors, participant observation at parties and data collection from research carried out in primary and secondary sources on the topic, it was possible to analyze some of the perceptions of interlocutors in the two cities regarding the ratification or questioning of behaviors based on patriarchal precepts, as well as the uses or refutations of identification with the feminist movement to understand some of the gender relations in the scenario of female backcountry consumption practices. The analyzes carried out, through data collections and interviews with interlocutors, both men and women, showed that there is still a disparity in remuneration and media visibility of female singers in relation to male singers, as well as sexist and patriarchal behaviors that influence and guide not just their professional actions, but the very lives of these artists, manifests and targets both in their bodies, as well as their speech positions and life postures.
