Estudos decoloniais, transgeracionalidade e violência de gênero: uma abordagem a partir da delegacia de polícia especializada no atendimento à mulher de Erechim/RS

Abstract

The present study addresses the transgenerational nature of violence against women through the lens of decolonial studies. The term colonialism designates the structure of domination and exploitation in which the control of political authority, production resources and the work of a given population has another identity and central headquarters of power in another territorial jurisdiction (colony/metropolis). Coloniality, in turn, was structured after colonialism and is after it, but without it it would not have been imposed in such a prolonged and ingrained way on the world. From this perspective, it is understood that coloniality - based on three main bases: power, knowledge and being - is more lasting than colonialism and is present in the set of discourses, practices and attitudes, which intends to subordinate the colonized peoples and the permanence of the hegemony of the colonizing nation. Given this, the general objective of the research is to verify how the colonial gender logic instilled by the colonizer is linked to the reproduction of violence against women. The specific objectives are to present conceptual aspects about coloniality and colonialism, to articulate the theoretical concepts related to gender, gender violence and the transgenerationality of violence and, finally, to establish the influence of transgenerational transmission in the perpetuation of the cycle of violence against the woman. To this end, the origins of the subordination of women and their links with the colonization process in Latin America are addressed, entering into the notions of gender coloniality and the conquiro ego and analyzing how they served as a foundation to perpetuate the legacy of violence in gender relations. Afterwards, conceptual notions about gender and violence are presented, statistical data related to the theme and, finally, the result of interviews conducted with women victims of violence, within the scope of the Police Station Specializing in Assistance to Women in Erechim. From the themes mobilized, it is possible to conclude that the modern colonial gender system was assimilated and reproduced by the subjectivity of the colonized subjects, so that it continues to be replicated from one generation to another, forming a true cycle of violence. The study uses the bibliographic-investigative methodological procedure, plus exploratory research on the topic, based on quantitative and qualitative approaches
