Corporality, Amazon, Ribeirinhos, Social Cartography, Body Practices.
The research aims to understand how the corporality of riverine women from the Foz do Rio Mazagão Community is built, considering the body practices and social space in the formation of identity/resistance. It has as specific objectives: to identify, in the scientific production, the corporal practices of riverside communities, to map and describe the most present corporal practices in the daily life of the riverside women of the community, to analyze how the relationship between the corporal practices, the social space, and the corporality of this group occurs, and to verify how the group builds its identity/resistance through its corporal practices. The work in question will be characterized as a field research, with a qualitative approach. Thirty women from the riverine community Foz do Mazagão Velho, located in the District of Mazagão Velho, municipality of Mazagão, in the State of Amapá, will participate in the research, with women who are members of the Association of Women Producers of Foz do Mazagão Velho (AMPAFOZ). The choice of the community Foz de Mazagão Velho as a case study in this work is due to the riverside tradition expressed by its way of life, as well as to the various historical factors that have marked it, as triggers for the transformations of this way of life and the presence of social organizations within the community that fight for better living conditions for that population. For the purposes of this study, the techniques used for data collection will be social cartography, direct participant observation with notes in a field notebook, and semi-structured interviews, understood as important resources for the understanding of the research. To carry out the data analysis of this research, we will use as support the NVivo 12 program, a qualitative data analysis software that helps in the organization and analysis, from unstructured or non-quantitative data, in a systematic way, refining information and discovering connections, being possible to prove its findings with
evidence. This work will choose the categorical analysis, which will consist of the operation of organizing documents, in this case social map, interviews and observational records, into categories, determined by the intended objective of this research, organized in three phases precepted by Bardin (2016): (1) pre-analysis composed of the organization of the material and organization of the indicators (2) exploration of the material that consists of the operation of coding, decomposition or enumeration of the material in order to achieve the understanding of the document and (3) treatment of the results, inference and interpretation that, in light of the theoretical framework, the data will be triangulated in order to seek possible correlations. All the procedures adopted in this research will obey the Ethics Criteria for Research with Human Beings according to Resolution No. 466/12 of the National Health Council, approved by the Ethics Committee through opinion No. 5,866,088. It is important to highlight some authors that will be fundamental for the understanding of this work, Bourdieu (2017, 2019), Le Breton (2011, 2017), Shilling (2005, 2012, 2016) and Mauss (1974), who deal with the body and corporality, discussing them from modern social references, Adams et al (2008), Almeida (2013) and Sautchuck (2020) who bring the context of traditional peoples/communities, especially Amazonian riverside societies and Daolio (1995, 2013, 2018) who will bring Physical Education from a sociological look to the debate, subsidizing the organization of this work.
