Emancipação política por meio de práticas comunicativas alternativas: Lélia Gonzalez no Jornal “Mulherio”

This article analyzes the possibilities of political emancipation of black women in the early 1980s through the use of alternative communicative practices, in which they thematized their own condition. To this end, we present an analysis of a clipping of the political performance of the mining activist Lelia Gonzalez, her column in the newspaper Mulherio (1981 - 1988). In this jornal, she was the only black woman to serve on the editorial board and to sign a column. As a methodological resource, we use Fairclough's (1989) notion of discourse and conclude that by becoming a subject of word politics - thematizing the intersected oppressions that black women suffer - Gonzalez promoted a displacement in this context for himself and his peers.
