"(RE) PRESAS”: COLONIALIDADE RACISTA DE GÊNERO E VIOLÊNCIA CONTRA MULHERES PRESAS NO RIO DE JANEIRO

"(RE) INCARCERATED”: RACIST GENDER COLONIALITY AND VIOLENCE AGAINTS WOMEN DETAINED AT RIO DE JANEIRO

Abstract

This article addresses the historical origin and permanence of prison and punishment in relation to women in Brazil and the selectivity and violence involved in these, in order to understand the profound influence of the structures forged during colonization in the propagation of capitalist, racist and masculinist barbarism. In epistemological terms, we will create lenses for analysis based mainly on decolonial thinking, critical racial theory and black feminisms, starting from the perspective of authors who experience the world-system from the South. Having established these lenses, part of the material conditions of women imprisoned in the State of Rio de Janeiro will be analyzed, mainly through inspection reports from the State Mechanism for the Prevention and Combat of Torture, as well as field incursions in the Rio de Janeiro prison system, seeking to propose another axis of analysis, distinct from the white androcentric axis that guides part of the analyzes related to incarceration, observing the peculiarities of the violence directed at incarcerated black women.
