A INVISIBILIDADE DAS MULHERES NO FESTIVAL DE MÚSICA DA PARAÍBA: RELACIONANDO GÊNERO E PSICOLOGIA

Abstract

In the patriarchal society in which we live, male power and dominance relations prevail over women and all other subjects who do not fit the normative pattern of race, gender and sexual orientation. Unequal fees, lack of space in major awards and important stages show that the music scene is not displaced from society, also reflecting this patriarchal system in which women are made invisible by the music industry. This study seeks to analyze and reflect on the participation of women in the Festival de Música of Paraíba, an event that has been taking place since 2018 but still in 2022, when its fifth edition takes place, with a minimal participation of female performers and composers. In addition to bringing to the fore the relationship between gender, psychology and music, since many subjects internalize their subordination and devaluation based on institutionalized social discourses (in schools, companies, organizations, record companies) that bring direct implications to their constitution as subjects. Making women invisible in the music scene is one of the manifestations of gender violence and that can lead to moral and psychological damage, in this way, psychology seeks to bring voice, the right to existence and empowerment to these women
