Abstract

The aim of this paper is to understand how a celebrity activates its political capital on Instagram to oppose social oppression, configuring itself as a celebrity-resistance. From a pragmatist (França; Simões, 2020a, 2020b) and intersectional (Crenshaw, 2002; Carrera, 2021a) approach, the analysis focuses on 39 publications from the profile of the singer Preta Gil, collected between May 4 and June 4, 2021 , a period started by a remarkable event in her life: the death of Paulo Gustavo, as a result of Covid-19. By looking at the positions and values ​​assumed by this celebrity, in addition to the minority social groups to which she pursues to link, we seek to reflect on the role that celebrities-resistance can play in the symbolic disputes held in the contemporary Brazilian context.

Keywords: Celebrity. Values. Preta Gil
