SUMMARY:

This work discusses the connections between the productive and reproductive life of shellfish gatherer women inserted in the fishing and/or shellfish production chain in the Quilombola Community of Santiago do Iguape, located in the municipality of Cachoeira (BA). The text presents analyzes resulting from a qualitative research, composed of interviews with shellfish gatherers and an immersion in the territory of Santiago do Iguape with the objective of following the work of these women, which goes from the mangroves and extends to the houses. Based on a theoretical-methodological approach centered on the field of black and materialist feminist debates and on Marxist analyzes of slavery and racism in Brazilian social formation, the thesis describes the work of shellfish gatherers and analyzes some of its dimensions: the link between production and the tidal cycles, demarcating the working day; the relationship between memory and the body in learning shellfish capture techniques; the presence of the mangrove territory intertwining the lives that pulsate in the mud; The crossing of the house space through the stages of processing the captured species. Based on these reflections, the thesis argues that shellfish gatherer women face intermittent shifts, which reveals the sexual and racial division of labor present in the fishing and/or shellfish production chain. Likewise, it points out the lack of social protection and the precariousness of women's work, evidenced in the lack of instruments and/or tools that guarantee safety and decent working conditions, elements that reveal the absence of the state in guaranteeing public policies aimed at these workers. Furthermore, the entire argument seeks to reconstruct the broader and more destructive context of financialized capitalism, expressed especially in the attacks on traditional territories, on the bodies and lives of countless population groups, which become targets of deep exploitation and multiple violations.
