“STINGRAY STING”: MEMORY AND TRUTH IN CONTEXTS OF FEMICIDE IN ACRE
feminicide. memory and truth. coloniality. Amazon. women's history.
This research is motivated by the possibility that the fight against femicide through legal means does not end with the criminal prosecution of the perpetrators of the crime, understanding that consolidating the right to memory and truth in contexts of violent deaths of women – one of the guidelines present in the national protocol of femicide – can be a way to promote reparation and prevention policies. Based on a historical approach of stratified time and feminist theories of social reproduction that think about gender relations in an intersectional way, this thesis proposes to investigate the interpersonal and structural conditions of feminicides in Acre, one of the Brazilian states that kills the most women for gender reasons. To this end, interviews will also be conducted with indirect victims of this violence, which are the last existing link between society and the murdered woman, to whom the State owes the obligation to preserve the right to memory and the truth of their existence in the world.
