Dissertação (Mestrado em Psicologia) - Faculdade de Educação, Universidade Federal de Goiás, Goiânia, 2025.https://repositorio.bc.ufg.br/tede/handle/tede/14819This research seeks to analyze the impacts of racism on maternal relationships, focusing on the stories of three Black women residing in Goiânia. Adopting a qualitative and psychoanalytic approach, the study explores how these women's experiences are shaped by racism in its many facets, revealing both oppression and resistance processes. The Life Narratives methodology, as proposed by Bertaux (2010), facilitates access to these women's stories. The analysis follows Ricoeur's (1983/1994) tripartite mimesis framework, allowing a profound exploration of the narrators' subjective field and their connection to the symbolic and sociocultural spheres.The research also employs psychoanalytic concepts to discuss the formation of subjectivity and to articulate the subjective dynamics that permeate these women’s maternal relationships. Engaging with theorists such as Piera Aulagnier, Lélia Gonzalez, and Neusa Santos Souza, the study integrates historical and social perspectives to understand the specificities of Black motherhood as a psychosocial and racialized phenomenon. Methodological choices reflect an ethical-political commitment and an alignment with Black identity, expanding the debate on motherhood and resistance beyond conventional frameworks. The stories of these women are marked by pain and revolt, as well as by love and resilience, resonating with the experiences of many other Black women in Brazil. By gathering and analyzing these voices, this study highlights the need for a theoretical discussion on motherhood from a Black perspective, delving into crucial issues of race, gender, and class in maternal experience and within the Brazilian social context.Acesso Abertohttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/MaternidadePsicanáliseMulher negraNarrativas de vidaMotherhoodPsychoanalysisBlack womanLife narrativesCIENCIAS HUMANAS::PSICOLOGIADissertação
