THE PERSISTENCE OF MEMORY: “THEY ENTERED MY HOUSE WITHOUT ASKING LICENSE"

women, homelessness, social psychology, narratives, subjectivity, decoloniality

This work takes place as a renunciation, as a scream that comes out through the fingers that shut up, as a movement of rebellion through sterile productivity, imposing, in the face of these voices secular academics, against the colonial practices of science, and calling for a space heterogeneous, where creation, creativity, community logics and subjective health stand out from mental models distanced from the colonized, peripheral, racialized reality and non-binary. This research is governed by the thirst for change, by an even hopeful look at the creation of new worlds, which value the soil we walk on, the freedom of our bodies, for art as a vehicle that enhances subjectivity and science. In this way, the dissertation proposes a construction of narratives, mine and those of women living on the streets of São João del Rei, seeking to create mechanisms for political struggle, whether public or academic, highlighting the resistance and violence marked in these bodies, amid a decolonial construction of being and knowledge, which align corporeal knowledge and academics.
