Viúva-Negra, Miss Marvel e Tempestade : performances históricas da Marvel Comics sobre o feminino para aulas de História no ensino médio

Abstract

This study has as aim to contribute with analyzes about the context of the feminist movement in the 1960s and 1970s. The Marvel Comics are analyzed, stories whose plots present female characters that have become popular in recent years through their dissemination through various media such as films and cartoons: The Black Widow, who is called Natasha Romanoff, Captain Marvel but who initially had as nickname Miss Marvel Carol Danvers and Storm/Ororo Munroe, the from the X-Men team. Exploratory research on comics will also be carried out to promote a debate about the way these narratives can be used in the classroom. We intend to examine in these stories the gender relations that have been established in this narrative and from them we intend to propose a teaching methodology that can be developed by high school teachers to work the social movements with a perspective of breaking with stereotypes linked to them, especially the feminist movement that has been attacked by conservative groups. To achieve this aim, we start from the premise that these comics have sexist manifestations, since in this period of time they have been presented in different cultural vehicles, but we intend to advance in this discussion by questioning the public and private spaces that are stipulated in these plots for men and women trying to understand the advances in the feminist debate. For this, references such as Simone de Beauvoir and Judith Butler have been used.
