Vision and Difference: Genealogies of Feminism Fall 2023

Isabella

For my final project, I will explore the complex ways in which visibility, invisibility, and memory work and are at play in media representations of feminicide. Specifically, I will analyze the media coverage of Aída Curi’s murder in 1958 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in comparison to how the media portrayed that same murder in a true crime tv series episode in 2004. Whose gaze is being presented at both of these moments? How does it change? Aida’s family filed a lawsuit for the “Right to be Forgotten” after the 2004 episode. The Supreme Court denied this right due to the constitutionally established fundamental duty of solidarity between generations. I will use Maria Jose Contreras’ work “Aquí” to construct a discussion of how we remember violence.
