Futebol, Feminismo e Funk
Undergraduate: Leah Bishop
Faculty Advisor: David Garcia
Department: Music
This presentation examines the roles of gender and sexuality in the development and reception of women and of female identity in soccer and funk music in Brazil. Using footballer Marta and funk artist Valesca Popozuda as case studies, I make connections between how female musicians and athletes express their identities and argue that these women both conform to and resist patriarchal norms in order to be successful in their male-dominated domains.
