Cotidiano ritualizado e a violência de gênero como produto das práticas estatais: Ribeirão Preto (2007 a 2016)

Abstract

This work proposes to investigate how the processes of geographic composition of the city of Ribeirão Preto / SP and, therefore, the conflicts of territories, interposed by state practices, are related to gender violence and how it manifests itself. To this end, this research makes use of 26,104 police reports registered at the Women's Police Station in Ribeirão Preto / SP, between the years 2007 to 2016, as it understands that these records are capable of externalizing the domestic violence routine through their numbers, their histories and the qualifications of their subjects. It was from the occurrence reports, from gender studies, from the historicization of Ribeirão Preto/SP and, finally, from discussions about power relations, that the conclusion was reached that the northern zone of this municipality is a permanent object of state absenteeism and representations based on the social disqualification of its residents, the result of which is a social routine marked by internal imbalances, which, in turn, guide the exercise of violence, notably gender violence, which is imposed among those who live in the neighborhoods of northern zone, especially the Ipiranga and Campos Elíseos neighborhoods. Among the theorists used, the studies brought by Rachel Soihet, Claude Raffestin, Cynthia Andersen Sarti and Michel Foucault were fundamental.
