| Sumario: | This article presents some of the results of my doctoral thesis that aims to understand the strategies, political and community actions that rural women and babassu coconut breakers have developed to (re)exist to the impacts produced by extractivist agribusiness projects in Brazil. For this, as a methodological approach, one of the tools built with the babassu coconut breakers was Feminist Social Mapping, which sought to map the socio-environmental issues, territorial conflicts and violence that cross the body-territory of women from a feminist perspective situated and based on the principles of popular education. The Mapping was carried out with women from the Interstate Movement of the Babassu Coconut Harvesters, in the territory of Mearim, Maranhão province, located in the last agricultural frontier of agribusiness in the Brazilian Amazon. From the Mapping it was possible to visualize women's spaces in the community, their struggles, self-management experiences linked to agroecology, environmental preservation and solidarity economy. It was also possible to observe the importance of their traditional practices in confronting agribusiness, patriarchy and racism, which intensified with the advance of the MATOPIBA governmental project in the region. Feminist Social Cartography is an instrument that enables us to build knowledge from the sentient-thinking body, based on the life experiences and knowledge of women. |
