ANACLETA PIRES DA SILVA:
BODY, (RE)EXISTENCE AND QUILOMBOLA TERRITORY AS AN EVENT THAT BREAKS OUT IN THE DEFENSE OF A DIGNIFIED LIFE IN LATIN AMERICA
Keywords:
Life history, Subjectivity, Body, TerritoryAbstract
Born from the force of enchantment, from the struggle for free territories and in a territory crossed by the logistics of developmental projects, Santa Rosa dos Pretos quilombola territory, in the municipality of Itapecuru-Mirim, state of Maranhão, Brazil. Anacleta speaks! She herself carries out systemic and daily analyzes on autonomy, resistance and healing in the face of a society marked by the myth of racial democracy, by racism. Anacleta while narrating everyday ways of resisting and existing, she shows us how black women are from the margins making political use of the body to exist in the face of the paradigm of racial exclusion in Brazil. Black, Afro-Pindoramic voices give birth to a new day daily, hope. These voices narrate dynamic territories guided by other ontologies, which emanate from the relationships with the enchanted ones of Tambor de Mina. We share here na insurgent interview carried out on January 20, 2021, in the midst of a global pandemic caused by Covid-19. The life story will be told by Dona Anacleta herself, a conversation that was carried out by the WhatsApp application and transcribed in full. “To change society the way we want? It's Fighting without fear, without fear of being a woman!”.
