WALKING ALONG THE SHORES PICKING UP TRACES: WRITINGS PRODUCED IN THE ENCOUNTER BETWEEN WOMEN, THE STREETS AND EVERYDAY LIFE.
Intersectionality; Research; Social Psychology; Women in street situations.
The intention of this work is proposing and performing a policy of writing and research immersed in the experience of the body, memory and affections. For this, based on the decolonization of language and in opposition to research guided predominantly by white men from the global north, what I intend to echo are productions of female voices and diving with the women of the waters, seas and lakes. Inspired by the steps of Conceição Evaristo, I seek the theoretical-methodological contribution in writings (escrevivências, specifically) produced from my encounter as a professional of a health service, Consultório na Rua, with the women who makes the street her own home. To make this discussion possible, the intersectionality assumes a central role, it is through the crossing and overlapping of race, gender, class and other markers that pass through the lives of black women in Brazil, specifically in the city of Maceió – Alagoas, that I seek to build critical and localized discussions. The general objective is experimenting the production of narratives supported by the encounter with black women in street situations in the city of Maceió, as a theoretical-methodological tool for the production of research in social psychology. The specific objectives are: a) Contribute to studies and theoretical-methodological proposals that intersect issues such as city, memory, race, gender and writing policies; b) Producing situated and performative research and writing experiences supported by the decolonization of knowledge and language. Therefore, I intend with this research to reaffirm the ethical and political commitment to produce other tools, uses and meanings of research and acting in psychology.
