| Summary: | The clothes washers of Rio Pardo (BA) integrate their way of life by the river. This happens in the practice
of interpersonal relations, in the preservation of symbols and in the behaviors that reconstruct the social
memory of this group. In this context, the traditions are transmitted through the experiences shared over the
years, as well as the memories that are preserved. Based on this approach, the Pardo River was read, through
the eyes of the women who wash clothes in those waters and whose stories of life, permanence, space
production, conflicts, memories and practices revolve around that space. Data collection included the
following instruments: bibliographic review and field research. For washerwomen, "being together" is
essential, it consists of a community that ensures the maintenance of the remnants of a culture that has
enjoyed moments of strength and solidity. It is a process of rebuilding and reinventing themselves and the
group. |
