“O caminho da felicidade ainda existe. É uma trilha estreita em meio à selva triste”. Uma narrativa autobiográfica de encontros com o RAP na periferia.

Abstract

The objective of the work is to discuss some of the issues of violence and inequality to which they are submitted as peripheral populations. From an autobiographical narrative, supported by the impact of community psychology and a Freirian stance. The motivation to develop this work, which came from my particular speech and from the experiences I passed through, in my life context, was a choice that made it possible to bring the themes dealt with here closer to psychology from an academic work that did not presents formal separations between those who study and the field they study, betting on a psychology that can contribute to the development of the peripheries. The present work also has an important effect on breaking the shackles of slavery that blocked my life and that of my entire family, making it impossible for others to obtain graduation education, preventing us from believing that it was possible to accomplish something that historically was, and still has been, denied and hampered. As in a RAP (Rhythm and Poetry) lyric, the typical TCC narrates lived hypotheses and possible articulations based on the chosen theoretical and methodological assumptions. Through this work, not only will I be the first in the GOMES family to complete a course, proudly marking a new phase in our family history, but I will also leave a legacy to the psychology course at the Campina Grande Federal University and an inspiration to future and present psychologists who, like me, can recount their own story based on a reflection that the academy is able to promote.
