Resumo:This article aims at establishing an analysis of the “SlutWalk” event that took place in Uberlândia, Minas Gerais state, Brazil, on March 9th 2013, outlining a construction of another female body in history. In order to do so, the article is based on the French Discourse Analysis, specifically on Foucault (1996, 2001a, 2001b, 2008, 2011, 2013), Paveau (2018a, 2018b) and Nietzsche (1996, 1998, 2001, 2004 e 2009). Firstly, the “SlutWalk” movement is highlighted as an event that destabilizes powers and ressignifies the female body in history. Next, a dialog with the Nietzschean notion of body is established as well as some considerations made by him about women in society. From this study, it was outlined that the female body, in the target movement and discursively, is based on an externality that focuses on the materiality of the bodies from language functioning.
