Abstract

Social Sciences, when looking at the peripheries of São Paulo between the 1970s and 1980s, operated with the center-periphery dichotomy more or less explicitly focusing on the issue of socio-spatial segregation and, more recently, modifying the approaches, has been observed more attentively the cultural movement which has been growing since the second half of the 1990s, mainly through the proliferation of artistic collectives in the different peripheral regions of São Paulo. Within this context have emerged collectives formed exclusively by women who seek to bring in their cultural productions debates and demands that they understand as specific to their experiences as women from the periphery.With this in sight, this research will seek to reflect on the visual narratives mobilized in the five editions of the magazine "Fala Guerreira", elaborated by a homonymous collective composed of women from the periphery of the south zone of the city of São Paulo, focusing on the imagery elements used for the construction and composition of representations of themselves. What would be a possible self-image of this "peripheral woman" as a political subject active in the cultural movements of the peripheries? (AU)
