SUMMARY:

The COVID-19 pandemic launched urgencies and resignifications in the ways of being, being and acting in the world. Recommendations and decrees were issued from the perspective of health care and have been impacting daily practices, including body care and food care practices. The phenomenon of the pandemic, however, affects people in different ways, in view of the great diversity of economic, political, cultural and identity crossings present in society. In this scenario, then, black women, fat and from the periphery, combine experiences marked both by the overlapping and re-elaboration of vulnerabilities, as well as by the construction of movements of resistance and identity. Six narrative interviews were carried out with women who declared themselves to be black, fat and from the outskirts, in the city of Salvador, with the aim of understanding how black, fat and from the outskirts women experienced their corporalities and managed eating practices during the COVID-19 pandemic. 19. The material was subsequently analyzed, resulting in the final product of two articles, the first centered on experiences about corporality and the second guided by experiences about care and food during the COVID-19 pandemic. The results found transit through the intersectional look of oppressions, the imminence of death by COVID-19 as an important agent of bodily and food experiences; The dimension of fatphobia as a protagonist in the perception of one's own identity and on the particularities of female burdens during the pandemic. The conclusions of this work discuss the transversal and multidirectional presence of structural oppression in the experiences of fat black women from the periphery, as a sum of tributaries, converging in a torrential current towards exhaustion and physical and mental illness. The existence of black women, fat and from the periphery is from beginning to end, swimming against the current and living is based on developing survival strategies and confrontations. Empowerments emerge, especially in the collective spheres of activism as a relevant agent of resistance and promoter of health care.
