| Abstract | |
This master\'s dissertation is an ethnography of the Movement Mães de Maio in Baixada Santista, state of São Paulo, the founding region of this Movement after May 2006 Crimes. Interacting as a researcher and supporter of this movement of bereaved mothers whose sons were murdered by state security agents and extermination groups between May 12 and 21, 2006, through participation and observation in events and lives, and by conducting interpretive interviews, I seek to understand how these mothers cyclically and continuously transform their mourning into struggle. In this process, I analyze how issues such as kinship, conflict, suffering and memory are experienced and (re)formulated by these mothers, producing new meanings about motherhood, politics, mourning and death. In this way, I approach Mães de Maio as agents of transformation of their own lives and trajectories and as intellectual references that, through native categories that derive from their experiences and perspectives, help to unravel the history of Brazil and conceive repertoires about the world, from the peripheries.
