Website	Rendeiro, Margarida; Susan de Oliveira; Lupati, Federica; Fernandes, Ana Raquel; Alfieri, Noemi; Luz, Hilarino; Manjate, Teresa; et al. WomenLit. 2023. WomenLit é um projeto que tem como objetivo analisar as configurações poético-literárias da resistência na produção literária e artística de autoria de mulheres publicada no espaço luso-afro-brasileiro no século XXI. A resistência, enquanto estímulo da atividade performativa e literária, decorre da perceção de desigualdades generalizadas à escala mundial, sejam elas de género, racial ou económica, entre outras. No que concerne a desigualdade de género, esta é uma questão que, embora tenha conhecido avanços significativos a partir de meados do século XX, ainda se encontra longe de estar ultrapassada. Se considerarmos o espaço luso-afro-brasileiro, as desigualdades de género estão ainda muito presentes. Segundo dados estatísticos publicados pelas Nações Unidas, e a título exemplificativo, o número de mulheres que ocupa lugares nos parlamentos nacionais varia entre 13,73% (S. Tomé e Príncipe) e 39,60% (Moçambique), com todos os valores referentes aos outros países de expressão oficial portuguesa registados neste intervalo. A participação da mulher no trabalho formal nestes países varia entre 28,8% (S. Tomé e Príncipe) e 78,1% (Moçambique). As Agendas Temáticas de Investigação e Inovação asseguradas pela Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia, decorrentes do compromisso com o Conhecimento e a Ciência assumido em Conselho de Ministros em 2016, refletem igualmente a dimensão da desigualdade ao determinar a Inclusão Social e Cidadania nas suas diferentes vertentes. Este projeto assume na construção da voz da mulher um modo de expressar resistência, dando visibilidade a projetos literários e artísticos que reagem contra as diversas expressões da desigualdade e injustiça. Discutir estes trabalhos como reflexos da desigualdade de género prevalecente e, particularmente, as estratégias criativas usadas para representar formas de resistência é contribuir para a promoção de uma melhor cidadania e inclusão social. A representação do ¿comum¿ e das especificidades da experiência de mu.
