| Sumario: | Currently, several women have been using Rio’s Street Carnival as a space for socio-political organization, in a process of debate that articulates the city, work, carnival and gender. It is increasingly common to find women working at the carnival, in precarious conditions of informality and hyper-flexibility, as well as the introduction of feminist agendas to street carnival, with anti-harassment campaigns and the creation of women's and feminist blocos. To analyze this scenario and its complexities, this article seeks to discuss the forms of labor and political action of female workers in the contemporary Rio Street carnival. To this end, the methodology is based on the analysis of semi-structured interviews conducted with female street carnival workers, combined with a bibliographical review based on theories of gender, linked to race and class along with studies on urban space and the sociology of work. The findings revealed that workers' socio-political movements have brought more women closer to politics through street carnival, in a feminist dynamic of public space occupation. |
