O SENTIDO DA RELIGIÃO NA CONSTRUÇÃO DE RESILIÊNCIA EM CONTEXTOS DE VIOLÊNCIA CONTRA MULHERES

Abstract

This research of a biographical nature comprises the theoretical-empirical analysis of life histories of four women who suffered and are still in the context of violence. It was objectively, through an interview with a semi-structured questionnaire and by cutting the basic conceptual notions of violence, religion and resilience – in the light of Geertz theories (religion as a network of meaning), Berger (Social construction of reality and religion), Frankl (religiosity and sense of life), Arent (violence as historicalpolitical- social construction) and Crenshaw (intersectional as analysis of multiple factors of violence) – identify, using data from the Stories lived and narrated, what a sense of life each of the four women built (builds) in their daily lives and to what extent the importance of the meaning of religion is considered in the development of resilient processes. Qualitatively, it was assessed that each woman possesses common traces of senses, intersected, which underlie some type of religious mysticism constituted in the search for meaning, thus sustaining their attitudes in the course of life, marked by prejudice, Discrimination, inequalities, intolerance, exclusion, marginalization, injustice and social silence.
