Resumo: Through the oral reporting of memories of the descendants of old “quilombadas”, the present article analyzes the daily practices of midwives, healers and their descendants in the region of Tocantins, in Pará - north of the Amazon. Beside the attendance to childbirth, those women carried out a series of activities related to the processes of cures and manipulation of medicinal plants, as well as tasks for survival, many of them not always considered in other areas and cultures as being compatible with activities of the feminine sex. This article thus contributes to rethinking the importance of the study of daily practices for the knowledge of the different roles played by women and men in gender relations, including forms of domination in a specific society.

Ao lado da assistência ao parto, essas mulheres desempenharam uma série de atividades relacionadas aos processos de curas e manipulação de plantas medicinais, bem como trabalhos para sobrevivência, muitos deles nem sempre considerados em outras regiões e culturas como sendo atividades compatíveis com o sexo feminino. Este artigo contribui, assim, para repensar a importância do estudo das práticas cotidianas para o conhecimento dos diferentes papéis exercidos por mulheres e homens, e também para repensar como se dá a relação entre gêneros, inclusive as formas de dominação em determinada sociedade.Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina2002-01-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/ref/article/view/S0104-026X200200020001310.1590/S0104-026X2002000200013Revista Estudos Feministas; Vol. 10 No. 2 (2002); 441Revista Estudos Feministas; Vol. 10 Núm. 2 (2002); 441Revista Estudos Feministas; v. 10 n. 2 (2002); 4411806-95840104-026Xreponame:Revista Estudos Feministasinstname:Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)instacron:UFSCporhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/ref/article/view/S0104-026X2002000200013/8848Copyright (c) 2018 Revista Estudos Feministasinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessPinto, Benedita Celeste de Moraes2019-09-30T09:11:46Zoai:periodicos.ufsc.br:article/9612Revistahttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/ref/indexPUBhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/ref/oai||ref@cfh.ufsc.br1806-95840104-026Xopendoar:2022-11-21T11:37:36.217369Revista Estudos Feministas - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)true
