Keywords:
madres, familiares, Estado, movimientos, género.Abstract
The article discusses some of the relationships between mothers and State processes, especially in view of the movements of mothers and family members of victims of institutional violence, the inaugural analyzes in this regard in Brazilian social sciences, the implications of these mothers and family members in knowledge production, and the democratic crisis that we are going through. In the first section of the article, we return to fundamental research that has constituted the field of studies which think since the involvement of mothers in movements for rights and justice. The second section of the article presents some of the developments, in our own research, of this involvement and the shared knowledge production between researchers and what is usually called as “interlocutors”. The last section of the article discusses the positionality of the movements of mothers and family members of victims of violence in what has been called the "Brazilian democratic crisis". Thereby, we seek to offer a contribution to the field of research that has been, for some time now, focused on the reciprocal production between gender and the State.Downloads
