E as Cangaceiras? As representações sociais e o imaginário do feminino cangaço no cinema

This study examines the social representations of cangaceiras in Brazilian cinema, based on an analysis of the films O Cangaceiros (1953), Lampião, rei do cangaço (1963), As Cangaceiras Eróticas (1974) and A ilha das Cangaceiras Virgens (1976). The material was analyzed using a gender lens, with the goal of identifying the elements that marked the presence of cangaceiras in Brazilian cinema and, while considering cinema a work of art, the research catalogued how the directors' gaze and their experiences contributed to the establishment of stereotypes of the semi-arid regions and the people from these regions, as well as identifying the treatment of the women who acted in cangaço in cinematographic art. This work analyzes cinema as a system of representation and the films as a cinematographic dispositive, in their material (basic apparatus), psychological (spectatorial situation), and ideological (desire for illusion) aspects. From this perspective, it studies the stereotypes present in the films showing the social representations produced about cangaceiras and how these contributed to the formation of the “feminine” world in films with themes of rural life and cangaço. It proposes to study the films of cangaço to think about the construction of representations of women in cinema, how an imaginary was created about cangaceiras, and how the images of these women, considered “of courage” by memorialists and cordel writers, influenced the interpretation of the past, forming a visual culture of banditry.
