FEMINIST ACTIVISM ON SOCIAL NETWORKS
Conversation between Gabriela Silva Loureiro and Heloisa Buarque de Almeida
February 27, 2026
4 PM
Room 266 – Letters Building - FFLCH-USP
What emotions are present in the construction and maintenance of Brazilian feminist solidarity? What to do when expectations of emotional support clash with political divergence?

In this conversation, Gabriela Silva Loureiro discusses with Heloisa Buarque de Almeida her book Emotions, Consciousness-Raising and Feminisms in the Global South: On Building Solidarity (Routledge, 2025).

The book examines these issues through interviews and discourse analysis of the Brazilian hashtags #PrimeiroAssédio and #MeuAmigoSecreto, articulating Black feminist theory, Latin American feminism, sociology of emotions, and decolonial theory.

Gabriela Silva Loureiro is a professor of Gender, Sexuality, and Diversity at La Trobe University. Her research focuses on feminisms, queer studies, anti-racism, decoloniality, and the sociology of emotions.

Heloisa Buarque de Almeida is a professor in the Department of Anthropology at the University of São Paulo (USP). Her research focuses on feminisms, media, and social markers of difference.

Inspired by the global Open Science movement, which aims to make scientific research more transparent, collaborative, and accessible to everyone, this edition of "Sexta do Mês" (Friday of the Month) will feature a meeting to share experiences related to the process of writing editorials for scientific journals, as well as the entire mechanism that drives and sustains a journal and the dialectical feedback between editors, authors, and readers. Scientific journals function not only as repositories of research output but also play a fundamental role in the democratization and circulation of new knowledge and new researchers, especially the excellent anthropological journals located in the South-Southeast region. This panel will address the different editorial policies adopted by the journals to which the invited editors are affiliated, as well as the contemporary challenges faced by journals regarding scientific dissemination and communication.

2 PM - Panel: The hunting deities in African-based traditions in Brazil with Mãe Zana, Tata Katuvanjesi (Walmir Damasceno) and Doté Jorge Gbadesi.

Moderation: Juliane Olivia dos Anjos (FEUSP).

3:40 PM - Panel: Afro-Brazilian Cosmoperceptions and the Living Nature of the World with Cláadia Alexandre (Post-Doc-USP), José Pedro da Silva Neto (PPGAS-USP) and Vagner Gonçalves da Silva (FFLCH-USP).

Moderation: Rosenilton Silva de Oliveira (FEUSP).

The two panel discussions, the lecture, and the workshop will be streamed online via YouTube, ensuring that more people can follow the conversations and participate in the debate.

Lecture with Lenin Alfonso Morales
(PhD student, University of São Paulo)

University City, São Paulo-SP

Nainu: Gunadule cosmotechnics to rethink the water-energy-food nexus in Abya Yala

In this presentation, Lenin Alfonso Morales shares the results of participatory research developed with the Gunadule indigenous community of Dubwala, in Gunayala (Panama). Based on the concept of Nainu—an agroforestry and cosmotechnic system that articulates agricultural, ecological, and spiritual practices—he discusses recent transformations in the island ecosystems of the Panamanian Caribbean and their impacts on the water-energy-food nexus.

On December 3, 2025, at 5 PM, the Laboratory of Image and Sound in Anthropology at the University of São Paulo (LISA-USP) will host the seminar “Ethnographies in the Amazon: from the transits in the ‘Beiradão music’ to the ‘Rap AM’ circuit in Manaus,” which will be presented by Rafael Branquinho Abdala Norberto, researcher of the “Research in Musical Anthropology” group (PAM-USP) and postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Anthropology at the Faculty of Philosophy, Letters and Human Sciences of USP (DA-FFLCH-USP). The event is open to the public.

The event aims to foster debate around two musical cultures of/in the state of Amazonas – “Beiradão music” and “AM Rap” – based on ethnographies conducted by Rafael during his master's and doctoral studies, as well as to disseminate his postdoctoral research – still in its initial phase – on the use of audiovisual elements in Hip Hop/Rap Studies, based on a scope review of productions in Visual Anthropology and Audiovisual Ethnomusicology.

Ponto Urbe will be holding the Urbe Cycle 2 on December 3rd at 2 PM in room 24, with the event "Football as a Sociocultural Phenomenon: Ethnographic Analyses and Contemporary Reflections."

This event marks the launch of the dossier of the same name and will include a discussion with the authors.

We hope to see you there!

The debate will be moderated by Carolina Parreiras.
The event is part of the Urbe Cycle and will take place on December 1st, at 2 pm, in room 24.
We hope to see you there!
