SOCIAL, POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC ORGANIZATION OF THE BIJAGÓ PEOPLE: POWER AND GENDER

PAGES: 47
BIG AREA: Ciências Humanas

SUMMARY:

In this dissertation, we will reflect on gender and power relations, exploring the underlying dynamics and challenges faced with regard to this issue in Bijagó society, in Guinea-Bissau. To do so, we will analyze the Unaké, a set of transitional rituals for Bijagó women in Guinea-Bissau - one of the forms of female emancipation and preservation of this society's customs - seeking to highlight the role of women in decision-making. Through an endogenous approach, we will discuss the importance and consequences of the female rituals of this people and how, through them, Bijagó women perceive themselves as social agents. Thus, the challenge is to understand gender relations in Bijagó formation and social, political and economic organization, considering the historical, social and cultural aspects involved in them. The current research has a qualitative approach and presents an autoethnographic dimension, as it is carried out by a researcher who is a member of the researched group. In this sense, part of the reflection carried out is based on the lived experience and memories of it. This leads us, at times, to write in the first person singular. Still for data collection, we took some academic work already done on the studied universe, such as Cardoso (2012) and Gomes (2016). And, finally, we also referenced in the analysis information gathered during our work to complete the graduation course in Social Sciences at the Universidade da Integração Internacional da Lusofonia Afro-Brasileira (UNILAB), in 2021. The information was collected during the field research held in 2019 in Guinea Bissau, precisely on the islands of Bubaque, Orango and Bolama.
