Abstract

This article seeks to reflect on the processes of emancipation set in motion by the young people involved in the secondary movement in 2015, paying special attention to the girls protagonists of this uprising, their corporealities and the aesthetic-political dimensions of their claims. We showed that, during the occupations, issues related to feminism became the subject of debates, also appearing in the documentary Fight like a girl! (Flávio Colombini and Beatriz Alonso, 2016), which was produced during the occupations, woven only with testimonies from the girls who participated in the movement. From scenes and excerpts from this production, we seek to show how the agency of high school girls produces dispositional arrangements and political subjectivities and scenes of dissent in which other forms of life and other performativities are possible.
