YOUNG WOMEN IN THE RURAL CONTEXT: GENDER, LIFE PROJECTS AND TERRITORY IN PHOTOCOMPOSITION

ABSTRACT

This article analyzes the interface between gender and territory as identity markers present in the speeches and pictures about life projects of young women from rural areas. The research process included autobiographical narratives interviews and photo compositions made by the participants, which sought to integrate aspects of their academic trajectories, vital and professional projects, life choices and cultural and community demands that influence in the process of defining their vital projects. The approach to this group, often on the margins of production of knowledge in Psychology, allows us to understand how the identity markers emerge dialogically in their narratives, discussing the manifestations related to the normative antagonisms between urban/rural, present/past, and social assignments related to being woman/man.
