This research project focuses on the socio-state interactions established by feminist movements in Pará, particularly those operating in the state capital. We seek to understand the strategies and repertoires of action of the organized movement—in its multiple forms and configurations—in its engagement with society and the state. The research is grounded in a qualitative and interpretive approach, structured around three main axes. The first axis involves the collection and analysis of Pará’s traditional media, such as the newspapers O Liberal and Diário do Pará, focusing on reports about the activities of feminist groups in the state. Next, we will analyze the social media pages of these groups on platforms such as Facebook and Instagram. Both dimensions will be examined through frame analysis. They will help us understand how the movement constructs its own interpretations and references, as well as how traditional media in Pará name women political actors, frame demands, and construct meaning-making frameworks. We also aim to follow public demonstrations organized by the movements and to conduct in-depth interviews with political actors responsible for the organization and mobilization of events and groups.
