LOPES, Fabrício Ricardo; TONELI, Maria Juracy Filgueiras  and  OLIVEIRA, João Manuel de. The Concept of Atmospheric Violence by Fanon: contributions to Gender Studies. Estud. pesqui. psicol.

The purpose of this work is to put in evidence the debate around the category of violence by Fanon, with the objective of discussing its need to gender studies, too. We’ve done it from the analysis of a specific concept of his literary work that it is still little discussed: atmospheric violence. Facing an expressive number of academic works about this author in Brazil, this one looks for contributing with the discussion over this concept, to go through the moments when the subject is debated by the own author and some reactions about his thought. It’s possible to affirm that Fanon shows a countercolonial epistemology and that this debate is a connection on his writings. As epistemology we defend that the violence category using by Fanon can be also moved to the gender studies area, in a way to understand the different manners which the violence is objectified as well as those contexts where it occurs.

Keywords : Frantz Fanon; atmospheric violence; gender..
