In this episode, historian Claudielle Povão shares insights from her research, “Out of Step: Stereotypes of Female Dancers in the Rio de Janeiro Press in the 1980s.”
The researcher examines how widely circulated media outlets, particularly the magazine *Manchete*, constructed representations of female dancers in Rio’s Carnival during the 1980s, highlighting discourses marked by the hypersexualization and objectification of Black women.
