Paisagem e mulheres: uma abordagem a partir da geografia e da agroecologia

Abstract

This research aimed to discuss the possibility of understanding women as active subjects in the process of transformation and construction of other landscapes in the context of agroecological production. The motivations arose from the life trajectory of the researcher, from the life experience in the rural space, permeated by the monoculture and the consequently influenced search for better living conditions in the urban space, in the same way the degree in geography made possible to broaden of horizons of knowledge and reevaluate social patterns. For this research, the methodology of the research used was documentary analysis in videographic materials. As selection criteria for the analyzed documentaries, a five-year time frame was used, (2017 - 2020), considering only materials published and recorded in the country. Seven documentaries were selected in order to understand and verify the relationship between farmers and the construction of other landscapes. From the cataloging and analysis of the speeches and testimonies of the farmers it was possible to prove that women produce and build other landscapes, here called: uterus-landscape. In the second chapter, the syntheses on the concept of landscape are presented, for both we use authors such as: Raul Alfredo Schier (2003); Reginado J. Souza (2018, 2019); Denis Cosgrove apud Roberto L. Corrêa (2014); Claudia Cambruzzi and Linda Rubim (2013); Euler Junior (2005); Adriana Serrão (2004, 2013,2017); Jéssica Silva (2016); Dirce Suertegaray (2005), in which the landscape represents a subjective and irreptible construction involving horizons and perspectives of life. To speak about agroecology we used the studies and research developed by Francisco Caporal (2009); Adriano Saquet (2008); Shaiane Gaboardi (2017); Benincá and Bonatti (2020); Altieri and Nicholls (2000); Fritjof Capra (2006) among others, to which, the product of the fusion between science, practice and political movement stands as a tool of production of cultural identity , highlighting the satisfaction of being and doing agriculture in another perspective, posing as a counter movement to the monoculture system. In Chapter Three, when addressing the relationship between nature, work and women, a reflection is developed about the relationship of work and farmers, for this purpose we used the studies and researches of Daniele Kergoat (2009), Erika Apfelbaum (2009) Emili Hirata and Rosana Corrêa (2019), Joseli Silva (2009), Donna Haraway (1993) and Jéssica Silva (2016). To speak of women landscapes or uterus-landscapes, we need to ask ourselves: Are women landscape? From this reflection and personal questioning, we will look outwards towards the female farmers as subjects of analysis and study within the process of building other landscapes.
