“Sou ex-presidiária! E agora?” Um estudo sobre as narrativas de egressas da penitenciária feminina Consuelo Nasser

Abstract

“I'm a former inmate! and now?” A study about the narratives of female graduates of Consuelo Nasser Female Penitentiary “presents the results of listening to women graduates of Consuelo Nasser Female Penitentiary (PFCN). From the narratives of these women, collected through semi-structured interviews and unsystematic observation, we sought to understand which trajectories are informed by these women's narratives and to discuss oppressions of race, gender, class, sexuality and their intersectionalities, as well as the particularities of crime and female incarceration. In the course of the research, the object was analyzed from an interest for an interdisciplinary posture, so that the mutual theories, paradigms and concepts of the different areas of the human sciences communicated. I explored the effects of imprisonment on the narratives of Consuelo Nasser Female Penitentiary graduates, in order to trace elements of critical evaluation concerning the forms of production and reproduction of oppressive and exclusionary, as well as emancipatory and inclusive relations, identified from the statements of the egresses. Finally I sought the meaning of the narratives informed by the statements, taking as reference the need for the realization of human rights.
