ANÁLISE DO NÍVEL DE VALORIZAÇÃO DA MULHER NO MEIO GASTRONÔMICO

Abstract

SILVA, L. F. L. Analysis of the level of valorization of women in the gastronomic environment – Universidade Federal da Paraíba (UFPB), João Pessoa, 2023 This article aims to analyze the valorization of women in gastronomy and the presence of patriarchy in this reality. It is important to reflect on the inferiority of women in the professional kitchen in relation to men, due to a patriarchal and sexist society that often limits the female role to domestic and private life. This topic is addressed by several authors, such as Burckhart (2017), Carvalho and Sorlino (2017), Carvalho (2004), Ferreira and Wayne (2018), Oliveira and Santos (2021), Resende and Melo (2016), Sayão (2003), Strücker & Maçalai (2016), Venturini and Godoy (2017), who provide a broad view of the subject, highlighting this social and professional reality. To achieve the objectives proposed in this article, a bibliographic and documentary review research will be conducted, which will allow a critical analysis of the authors' considerations that make up the theoretical framework. Thus, it will be possible to deepen the understanding of the valorization of women in gastronomy, identify the main obstacles that women face in the professional kitchen, and highlight the importance of a cultural change to defend women's work in this environment.
