Cotidiano e sociabilidade de mulheres na senzala: interações, conflitos e vizinhança

Abstract

This work seeks to observe the daily life and sociability of the women of the Durval de Assis Set, known as Senzala, located in the City of Rio Tinto - PB. The interest is to study the forms of interaction and the ways of life that are shared in the social construction of a community marked by struggles, through the daily life of the women who live there. The reality of these women shows a trajectory of life full of claw and conquests; thus, I try to understand this quotidian starting from the ties of neighborhood, through which the women choose forms of relations and articulate their experiences of approach, reciprocity, conflict and power. Given that the sociabilities of these women are constantly being (re) constructed, through them one can understand a variety of meanings, material, symbolic, and cultural values. The affective bonds also contribute to the construction and organization of this community. The field research developed to carry out this work was based on the ethnographic method, focusing on participant observation, through a theoretical basis based on the discussions of Urban Anthropology and the forms of sociability. Instruments such as the field diary, camera, and tape recorder helped collect data. It is from observations about the bonds of sociability and the narratives of these women that the values expressed in the trajectory they are composing in the Senzala community are presented.
