COSTA, Maria da Graça; DIMENSTEIN, Magda  and  LEITE, Jáder. Narratives and Feminisms in Dispute in the Construction of Agroecological knowledge in Brazil. Pesqui. prát. psicossociais [online]. 2020, vol.15, n.4, pp. 1-13. ISSN 1809-8908.

This paper presents some of the disputes that have been fought since the emergence of women as subject in the construction of Agroecology in Brazil. This is feminist Ethnography with participant observation. It starts with the description and analysis of three scenes that occurred in different meetings of Agroecology and that were taken as triggers for thinking how feminist discourses are built in relation to the "hegemonic" narratives within the movement. The results were analysed in the light of the postcolonial and feminist theories, and point out that, although it is a field that seeks to deconstruct the modern paradigm of hierarchy of knowledge and practices, there is no consensus on the recognition of the role and knowledge contributed by women. Front of it, women build strategies in dialogue with plural and popular feminisms, in order to visualize and politicize their daily practices.

Keywords : Agroecology; Feminism; Ethnography; Decolonial.
