Mulheres negras no processo de levante das calçadas: chão, encruzilhadas e ancoragens

Abstract

This research examines the black women in the construction of the “uprising from the sidewalks” process, concept that has been elaborated in this study. This work objects knowing, reflecting, analyzing, and comprehending the elements, objectives and subjective involved in this construction from the perception of black women. We understand the process of uprising from the sidewalks as a procedural movement to exit the streets, compound of elements such as strength and endurance to maintain the body in defense of life, which is realized by anchoring, love, friendship and solidarity, and it needs the emission of responsible-actions of the Municipal, State and Federal Public Manager. The sidewalk is the ground, a place of life and death, through inhabiting the gaps granted by the neoliberal habitat, to which black people experiencing homelessness are subjected. The uprising from the sidewalks is the inhabiting through the construction of unique territorial practices, even though the necropolitics is authorized by the state power. The research presents the actual economic, social, and political scenario in which the number of people in street situation is rising exponentially. We start from the hypothesis that the reordering of the black women place of speech and representation may generate additional and unprecedented contributions to the construction of Public Policies aimed at addressing the phenomenon of the people experiencing homelessness. We have investigated from the slavery to the present day the historical, human, political and social aspects based on records, memories, and life experiences. A qualitative and observational research, the participant counted on field diary, individual interviews, participation in group meetings, accounts, and memories for the construction of narratives with three black women who carried out the uprising of the sidewalks, starting from the city of Santos. The produced data is discussed in the light of the literature review of theoretical frameworks in the Social and Human Sciences, from the perspectives of Psychoanalysis, Social Psychology, Geography, Intersectionality, and Interdisciplinarity. The research revealed that the uprising process of the sidewalks, led by black women, is constructed from unique places in epistemes and territorialities; by the bantu force that enables the recovery of both body and mind for continuity in blackness, despite the traces imposed by blackness; healthy functioning of personality through the establishment of anchors in love, friendship, and solidarity, despite the omissions of Public Policies regarding food security, housing, employment and income, health, and social assistance, among others.
