Resumo
This research focuses on the gender, identity, and “lugaridades” of women from the Nazaré
riverside community, Porto Velho, Rondônia. Its main objective was to identify and analyze
the social and identity relations of women from the Nazaré riverside community at Rondônia,
with water, particularly with the Madeira River. This was outlined in three specific objectives,
namely: identifying and analyzing the implications of the Madeira River, as an important
element of space-place, in the daily life of women; understand the social life of the
community, especially women, by the bias of the geographical category and the concept of
identity; identify and analyze how the mythical and enchanted beings of the Madeira River are
related to the living of women. Bibliographical studies were carried out in the fields of
Cultural-Humanistic Geography, Geography and Gender, and studies on Amazon, riverside
communities and women. The return to the community occurred in trips of reunion with the
women, of interlocution and interviews. I dealt with the themes of research and cultural
practices and symbolic relations with the river, in which the myth of Boto surfaced in certain
situations and places where women are in the liminal state, in a different way from the better
known regional version and activities considered masculine, exercised with other meanings
implying in other senses of gender, identity and place. In the Amazonian riverside
communities, peculiar marks are observed in individuals' lives, and these are intimately linked
to a specific way of relating to nature, especially the river, an element that prevails in this
area of the river. The enchantments of the rivers populate the imagination of the riverside
women, so that in addition to the functionality that this element of nature provides to life,
there is an intricate mythic relation that re-signifies water, as a living matter that creates
peculiar characteristics in regional life, being important in the constitution of identity. This is
not defined biologically, but is the result of a social construct, being formed from the
interaction with the Other and with the place.
