This research is based on the work developed by the collective “Nós, mulheres da periferia”, a group created in 2014 by nine women communicators who live in the periphery of São Paulo with the purpose of producing journalism focused on issues related to women living in the periphery. In 2015, with the support of the São Paulo City Department of Culture, the collective enabled a project entitled Desconstruindo Estereótipos, which was divided into three-stages: 1) workshops with nearly one hundred participants aiming at discussing how women from the periphery are represented in the mainstream media; the discussions were followed by painting and photography exercises through which these women told their life stories; 2) video-recorded interviews with nine workshop participants; 3) multimedia art exhibit created using part of the material produced in the workshops and captured in the interviews. The exhibition, entitled QUEM SOMOS [POR NÓS], was held at the main hall of the Centro Cultural Municipal da Juventude Ruth Cardoso, in the periphery of São Paulo city north zone, and was open for visitation during a month. Based on statements selected from the material presented in the exhibition, the interviews given by some of the women who participated in the workshops were analyzed with the purpose of understanding how they discursively (re)construct their identities in relation to other discourses existing in public spaces. From the theoretical perspective, the research was based on the notions of thematic formations discursive, scene of enunciation, and ethos, as proposed and developed by Dominique Maingueneau, and also on the principles of Crenshaw’s intersectional feminism, according to which the relation between gender-, social class-, and race-based oppressions is inextricable in the constitution of identities. Each dimension was understood as a discursive formation – notion that characterizes the identity limits of a discourse – in order to infer the production of meanings and the inter-relation among them in the inter-discursive space. Through the scenography, it was possible to understand that the discourse is based on a topography of oppression and annulment as well as on the chronography of the fight for reducing inequalities, mobilizing other contemporary discourses of women empowerment. With regards to the image constructed by the enunciation, it is possible to infer an ethos of strong women that corresponds to the guarantor capable of participating in this ethical world of resistance and fight against these social injustices
