- More about Bitches Unleashed: Performance and Embodied Politics in Favela Funk
This book challenges white and Western feminist approaches to embodied politics by exploring transgressive performances of femininities by marginalized women and transfeminine people of color artists in Brazilian favela funk. It offers a transnational perspective on the performative force of embodied politics as a means to disrupt white, classist heteropatriarchal structures that oppress poor women and transfeminine people of color in Brazil.

This book presents a groundbreaking exploration of embodied politics, challenging traditional white and Western feminist approaches to the use of the body in everyday acts of resistance. By delving into the transgressive performances of femininities by marginalized women and transfeminine people of color artists in Brazilian favela funk, the author offers a transnational perspective on the transformative power of embodied politics.
Often studied from a white feminist lens, embodied politics encompasses discussions about agency and structural change that resonate with white women in the West. At the same time, studies of femininity tend to universalize the experiences of gender oppression faced by white women across the globe.
In this groundbreaking work, the author challenges the theoretical limitations of white feminist approaches to embodied politics and presents a transfeminist perspective on the concept. Moreover, the project aims to shed light on how traditional methodological approaches have hindered nuanced understandings of women and people of color and their performances.
Furthermore, by challenging and re-envisioning the potential of embodied politics from a transnational perspective, the text contributes to the growing field of critical intercultural communications, which has yet to fully explore the bodies and performances of marginalized individuals in global contexts.
