THE CONSTRUCTION OF PEDAGOGIES ON FEMININITIES: SCENES IN PREHISTORIC ROCK ART IN SERRA DA CAPIVARA NATIONAL PARK IN SÃO RAIMUNDO NONATO, PIAUÍ, BRAZIL

This study focused on rock art in Brazilian prehistory in the Serra da Capivara Park in the city of São Raimundo Nonato, in the northeast of the state of Piauí. The objective of the article was to investigate representations of femininity in the region in a bibliographic review using a cultural history approach. We investigated two images: the figure from the Northeast Tradition of the sex scene at Toca do Paraguai and another from the Northeast Tradition, Serra da Capivara style, at Sítio Toca do Baixão. Feminist and gender research can influence the interpretations of these representations. In the paintings captured in PARNA, the phallus and vulva are represented and suggest a scene of monogamous sex in Figure 1. Researchers disagree on the interpretation of Figure 2 as childbirth or a scene of polyandry.
