Doctoral

Sebijan Fejzula
sebifejzula@ces.uc.pt

Tenho vindo a desenvolver investigação no campo dos estudos de género e critiacal theories of race, com especial enfoque na representação ideológica, e nos meios audiovisuais, da mulher Romani. Actualmente, a minha investigação interdisciplinar foca-se na teorização dos casos de brutalidade policial como mecanismo de controlo e disciplina dos corpos “outros/não humanos”, mais concretamente sobre o corpo de pessoas Roma, entendido como produto de relações de poder colonial historicamente enraizadas.
