The Construction of Pedagogies on Femininities: Scenes in Prehistoric Rock Art in Serra da Capivara National Park in São Raimundo Nonato, Piauí, Brazil

Prehistoric rock art in Serra da Capivara National Park, Brazil, reveals nuanced representations of femininity that challenge traditional interpretations. A cultural history approach applied to two key images—one depicting a monogamous sex scene and another potentially representing childbirth or polyandry—highlights the influence of feminist and gender research on understanding these ancient visual narratives. The study suggests that phallic and vulvar imagery, previously interpreted through Western lenses, may reflect complex social dynamics in prehistoric societies.
