REPRESENTAÇÃO DA MULHER NA ACADEMIA BRASILEIRA: UMA ANÁLISE DA PRODUÇÃO CIENTÍFICA SOBRE MULHER E CERVEJA.

Abstract

Humanity and beer are intertwined on several levels. Over time, beer production has been usurped from female hands and transferred to male domination, where it still is. It is against this backdrop of women being excluded from the leading role in brewing, resulting in them being erased from academic gaps, that this paper asks: How does academic production on the relationship between women and beer take place? In order to understand, the aim is to carry out a study of the art on the subject of women and beer through a bibliographic survey in the databases Google Scholar, Scielo and the Institutional Repository of UFPB where a survey was carried out, which took place from August 14 to 31, 2023 using the following keywords: "Woman; Brewery", "Woman; Brewery Market", "Woman; Beer", "Woman; Drink". This search produced both an overview and a geographical, temporal, institutional and thematic mapping of publications on the relationship between women and beer. This is a quantitative-qualitative study, of a basic nature and with exploratory objectives, using a bibliographic procedure to review the subject. Searching for the keywords, 211,930 results were identified. Due to their abundant volume, the first 100 results for each keyword were taken into account and 105 studies dealing with the area studied here were taken as a basis. Based on the systematization and analysis of the data, the proposed overviews were drawn up and it was concluded that, of the studies analysed, 59% were published by women, and that they deal with subjects such as the role and eroticization of women in beer advertisements, their consumption of the drink, their insertion in the market and in beer production, women's opinions on beer and violence against women due to alcoholism. Thus, it is possible to see that the "granddaughters of the witches" who resist male imposition and break male "social standards" seek to fight against the injustices and violence that surround them, as well as returning/bringing equity to the brewing environment in the hands and ideas of women, and showing that Beer "Is a Woman's Thing, Yes, Sir!". After all, this isn't a women's rescue, it's a revolution!
