Modelo de Desenvolvimento latino-americano e feminicídio: uma análise sobre as relações de poder e a performance de gênero

The development debate in Latin America is presented by several types of bias. In this article, the theme will be addressed in the light of the thematic of gender. In addition to the feminist critiques, the social-liberalism structure, which perpetuates the reality of the marginalization of women in the region, will be analyzed. In a context in which the development model has traditionally been transferred from the Center and the pattern of capitalist power is maintained in Latin American society, femicide is delimited as the summit of female exclusion, taking into account the power relations and gender performances inserted in the process. To achieve this goal, quantitative data on femicide rates in Latin America and bibliographical review on the subject will be presented.
