The contemporary and the new collectives of women

Abstract

This paper presents the results of a research about the emergence of new women's collectives in contemporary time, with the purpose of verifying their expressions, way of being and being, socio-political-cultural organization and peculiarities of their appearance in the contemporary scene. The year 2000 marks the effervescence of new groups of women who present themselves spontaneously and away from the traditional nucleation of the woman subject. The fieldwork assumed the contribution of qualitative approaches, together with a sample of 05 women's groups organized in Manaus, Amazonas. Among the many aspects found, it was clear that these new collectives distanced themselves from the traditional politics of the feminist movements that marked the claiming struggle of the 20th century. Finally, it is proven that these new women's collectives express themselves in the midst of gender activism through art and culture.
