Construção de subjetividades a partir da experiência de migração de mulheres militares no Brasil

Abstract

This thesis aimed to investigate how subjectivities are built considering the experience of migration of military women. For that, two papers were written: "Construction of subjectivity in military women who migrate alone" and "Comings and goings: production of subjectivities in the migration of military women in the Air Forces". In the first one, a theoretical analysis of the construction of subjectivity in the migration processes of military women was carried out. Also, the ways in which subjectivities are constructed in the headquarters were discussed under the light of the Theory of Social Representations. In this analysis, it was concluded that the sharing that resulted from the migration process has implications both in women's lives and in the institutions. In the second paper, the experience reports of six military women of the Air Forces were analyzed. In this paper, in addition to the concept of subjectivity proposed by the Theory of Social Representations, gender theories were also used to support the analysis. The general findings were that the migration of women in the military context fosters the dynamic characteristics of the social representations both from the military institution towards women, and from women towards the military institution. Moreover, the experiences these women go through as military migrants who are alone make them more autonomous; however, the condition of being alone in an unfamiliar place triggers attitudes of maintenance of a limiting gender culture, which does not consider women's right to come and go.
