Papéis sociais de gênero e conflitos nas dimensões de raça, classe e geração de mulheres - mães no município de Vitória da Conquista-BA

Abstract

This text analyzes the partial results of a research carried out with women-mothers who narrate their experiences in intrafamily relationships, with their sons and daughters, but not only. The objective is to bring out the relational perceptions that these women have of themselves around maternal identities and conjugal roles exercised within the scope of socio-family power relations, as well as to understand some conflicts arising from them - full of ambiguities - and the distinct ones ways of dealing found by them. The analysis is made from a look that intersects different places of belonging, problematizing various positions such as: different class locations, race, generation, level of education, current spatial occupation and other emerging social markers in field research - structural or circumstantial - as the geographical origin and origin, and, thus, unveiling a plurality of experiences and perceptions about being a woman-mother. For the appreciation and systematization of the reports, I anchored myself on the qualitative analysis made possible through the categorization and content analysis inspired by Bardin (1977) and Minayo (2006), in addition to the valuation of the subjectivity of the speeches through methodological strategies with the use of oral history (Thompson, 1998; Magalhães, 2002).
