Mariana de portas e janelas

- os caminhos de individuação de uma jovem estudante

Abstract

The article describes and interprets the biographical pathway of a young woman of popular origin who synthesizes different existential challenges and overcoming efforts that articulate supports in multiple spaces-time of life. This article derives from a narrative the young Mariana made to the research, recounting her biographical journey seeking to overcome the female’s subaltern condition in the face of patriarchal violence, and to conquer the social mobility that she projected for herself and her son. Mariana is also quite many: a High School student in Education of Youth and Adults, a daughter, a teenage mother, a companion and worker with quite many experiences ranging from informal jobs to the attainment of protected work. The analyzed data originate from research that matches quantitative and qualitative methodological strategies. In the qualitative scope, there was the presentation of supporting imagery devices to the narrative interview, in addition to the accomplishment of a discussion held with a group of high school students. The theoretical-methodological perspective adopted sought to start a dialogue about the understanding of the young woman’ process to conquer autonomy, without losing track of the socio-historical framework from which extend the experiences, daily life organization strategies and future projects of the character we have chosen for the discussion.
