Entre o espaço público e o espaço privado: representações femininas veiculadas no jornal O Dia em Teresina/PI na década de 1970

Abstract

The central purpose of this work is to reflect, through the analysis of the newspapers of Teresina, the construction of supposed roles and moral orders directed at women, in which they were subjected to an onslaught of restriction and demarcation of their living space, through bourgeois arguments and medical-sanitary speeches, a dynamic of moralization that resulted in certain stereotypes to female behaviors and confinements in certain worn and outdated attributions in the interior of the city of Teresina / PI in the 1970s. But, at the same time, we seek to discuss how the modernization process of this capital in the same period affected the female figure, of which the greater visibility in the public scenario appeared to be related to the conquest of rights, especially in relation to education and professionalization, the which were certainly great motivators for the many other female successes throughout the 20th century. Based mainly on the newspaper O Dia consulted in the Public Archive of Piauí, in addition to bibliography of local historians, with emphasis Jurandir Gonçalves Lima (2016), Bernardo Pereira de Sá Filho (2017), Elizangela Barbosa Cardoso (2010). In order to support the analyzes, it is also sought to elaborate a theoretical support in authors such as Michel Foucault (1984), Pierre Bourdieu (1998), Roger Chartier (1990), John Thompson (2011), Anthony Giddens (1993), Michelle Perrot (2007), Joan Scott (1995). In this way, contributing to increased knowledge changes and their dispositions, possibly conflicting and contrary, pointed out the way in which the society of the time reflected and recognized certain transformations experienced by women in public and private spaces.
