| Abstract | |
This work focuses on the history of the city of Rio de Janeiro, especially in the events of the 1960s, with the objective of debating the phenomenon of forced evictions from a decolonial and gender-oriented perspective. There is a heterogeneous corpus, in the practice of weaving a narrative whose main exercise is to elucidate tensions that, although historically constituted, remain operative to this day. It is understood that forced evictions constitute a historical footprint in the organization and restruction of Brazilian cities. It is suggested that this practice, which is repeated and updated in a myriad of cities around the globe, has been acting as an instrument of colonized urbanism and, at the same time, colonizing the Brazilian urban space. From the conceptual framework of decolonial feminism, the research analyzes how hegemonic conceptions of knowledge, power and being were articulated and materialized i) in the constitution of Brazilian urban knowledge; ii) in the formal organization of the Carioca territory; iii) in the possible ways of reproducing the history of the city. It is intended to manufacture a work where its form is understood as an essential part of its content, understanding that while form could have the power to reproduce oppressive and excluding hierarchies, it could also represent possibilities of openings, or even ruptures in the production of academic knowledge. Fiction is adopted as a method, a bet that has been much explored by decolonial feminists, in order to create a narrative about forced evictions in Rio de Janeiro that encompasses interdisciplinarity, multiscalarity and multiple forms of periodization of life-memory.
