VASCONCELOS, Michele de Freitas Faria de et al. Women and shellfish picking: inventions of themselves in the (un)clean mangrove forest . Psicol. rev. (Belo Horizonte) [online]. 2020, vol.26, n.1, pp. 325-345. ISSN 1677-1168.  http://dx.doi.org/10.5752/P.1678-9563.2020v26n1p317-335.

The present study is based on a research linked to the extension program project of Sociopolitical Empowerment of Shellfish Picker Women in the state of Sergipe, a stage of the Environmental Education Program for Coastal Communities. The project aims to empower the Movement of Shellfish Picker Women from Sergipe. The research is a process of collective habitation in defense of traditional living territories and the shellfish pickers’s lives, who see, daily, their existential territories threatened by large capital enterprises. Inspired by ethnography and cartography, we focused on the processes of invention of women’s daily life in the mangrove forest. The perspective is to research about shellfish picker women, learn about their lifestyle and ways of resistance, which are woven in a hybrid territory involving city, countryside and mangrove forest. We followed the construction of the social movement and, added to it, networks of care and mutual help, inventions of themselves and related worlds, broadening the meanings of the woman category and the handicraft work.
