SUMMARY:

This research aims to inquiry into the specificites of the political practices enacted by a self-designated feminist social movement that works in a region called Cariri in the southern of Ceará, Brazil.  The Cariri Women’s Front is a coalition of social movements, parties, organizations and independent activists that pervades itself in the intense and quick dynamics of  discursive fields of action, whether feminist or other mobilizations.  Broader trends in brazilian feminist field were resignified  by the alternative of a locally conceived feminism. But what does it mean on practical grounds?  Meaningful intersections among gender,race,religiosity and violence linked to specific local dynamics were identified and analysed by me beyond the axes of differentiation  and their respective identity politics related to  discursive fields of action. Thus   I compare firstly the trajectories of the  ten most important interlocutors chosen in order to highlight the process of formation of the Front, as well as investigate their subjectivities in dialogue with the activism in a local dimension. Secondly, I  conduct an ethnography of the International Women 's Rights Day performed by the Front in Cariri with an analytic lens based on the anthropological approach to rituals. Then I reflect about some connections between feminist politics and religiosities at this event. Finally, I think about the main tensions, challenges and possibilities for the movement in the local context such as mainly the opposition performed  between social movement and state through  the theme of violence against women, the digital activism in the pandemics, the municipal candidacy for mayor and councilor and the way they approach religion internally.
