Abstract
This article reflects on two stories of women with disabilities, living in two different places in the Amazon, one in the Amazon in the capital Belém/PA, the other in the countryside Amazon in the city of Santarém/PA. From the experience of both, connected with the riverside landscape as a landscape that builds narratives on the sidelines and constitutive element of the subjectivity of their identities, this article reflects on how ableism was present during their journeys in this territory. Ableism like the oppression that causes people with disabilities to be socially read in a diminished state. In this scenario, autoethnography was chosen as a methodological resource because it allows us to critically narrate these stories, which, in addition to writing in essay prose, also allowed the use of poetry as a fundamental component.
