Memórias, Histórias e Escrevivências: a mãe em primeira pessoa

Abstract

The present experience of writing embodies the proposal to give light to the trajectories of the women of my family, who through the recordings, narrate their stories pervaded by abuse, helplessness and the loneliness of raising their children alone. Here I use the decolonial and critical approach to the way of producing knowledge imposed by modern science. Ancestry continues as a motto of inspiration for reconstructing paths that connect the present and the past, connecting lives and experiences. Thus, I claim the place of these women (and my own place) as subjects who produce knowledge from the body traversed by multiple structures of oppression. I would add that writing based on the experience of the body of the woman-mother represents the horizon of this work and the challenge of breaking with the mandatory dogmas and prescriptions of hegemonic science. And, the outcome of the enterprise to speak of itself is the stripping of historically structured violence such as machismo, sexism, racism and class hatred.
