A liberdade vigiada: histórias de mulheres de apenados na cadeia pública de Araruna-PB (1998-2016).

Abstract

This dissertation aims to analyze the memory of women of distress who experienced the daily imprisonment of their companions in the Araruna - PB chain in the period from 1998 to 2016. Thus, we place this research in the waters of Cultural History, being Thought through the proposal of the History of Present Time. These women became part of the prison world, with the imprisonment of their comrades. The entrance into the prison space through visits went through vexatious procedures, which are the intimate magazines, and the bodies exposed to nudity, causing embarrassment. Such visits are regulated by the law establishing day and time, limiting the time for love. In prison beyond institutional power, there are other powers that circulate along the lines of parallel power, which is a power of the prison subculture and which in some cases is a coercive power and that the woman happens to be the intermediary of the world outside the walls fulfilling orders and Driving forbidden objects into the inner prison space, and in case of insubordination reprisals may occur. Theoretically, I spoke with Michel Foucault and some of the historically constructed concepts such as discipline and surveillance. The history of these women was made possible through the analysis of their emotions and intimacies. To do so, we access his memoirs through interviews made possible by Oral History.
