Between creation and transgression: motherhood and the Brazilian class reality.

Research that aims to problematize contemporary motherhood in Brazil has grown in the last
decade, but few focus on thinking about the psychic dynamics of women in the face of motherhood in the
specifically Brazilian scenario. It is with the aim of presenting motherhood as a work inseparable from the
reality of classes in Brazil, and giving visibility to the psychic dynamics of the working woman-mother in
the face of this reality, that the research “Between creation and transgression: motherhood and the reality
of Brazilian classes” was born. Characterized as an exploratory qualitative research using a clinicalqualitative method, using psychoanalysis, the psychodynamics of female work and feminist theories as a
theoretical basis, the thesis to be defended is that motherhood is a work inseparable from the reality of
classes in Brazil, deeply impacted by the intersectionality of gender and race and which demands an
elastic capacity from women's bodies.
