B\u00e1rbara emigrated to Brazil in 1952 to work on radio and television, the country where she settled, formed a family, eventually abandoning the stages, and died in 2015. For this socio-biography, we collected and analysed public and private memory documents, a research interview and conversations with her family. To construct our analysis and strengthen a feminist perspective, we used Portuguese cinema\u2019s History and memoirs. We both avoided mythologising and aimed at unveiling the patriarchal gaze which shapes some literature about B\u00e1rbara Virg\u00ednia. We built our questioning and analysis from Linda Alcoff\u2019s and Teresa de Lauretis\u2019s gender studies, from the sociology of culture by Pierre Bourdieu who Bev Skeggs borrowed for her intersection of class, gender and coloniality, alongside historical and social research about both countries\u2019 context. The paper focuses on the artistic and familiar roles played by the filmmaker, and proposes an interpretation aimed to contribute to a fine knowledge about gender and class barriers to cultural and professional practices at that time, while it also discusses the erasure of memory about Barbara Virginia.<\/p>","DOI":"10.31235\/osf.io\/s2y7d","type":"posted-content","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,8,9]],"date-time":"2019-08-09T18:16:28Z","timestamp":1565374588000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Forget B\u00e1rbara Virg\u00ednia?
