Abstract

This research aims to reveal the especifics and violences of the gender conflits on the context of artesanal finishing, as well as register - through audiovisual production, the lifestory of three women. A lifestyle marked by an extreme social need and splendid natural beauty. The methodology used was the research-action, which allowed the production of an audiovisual experience on the fishing community of the town of itapissuma (on the northern shores of Pernambuco, Brazil) where the matter of various kinds of violence perpetrated agains women (physical, health related and social invisibilty) is shown as one of the greater factors on social opression. Thus, through the production of documentaries made by those women-fishermen themselves, on the z-10 colony, their experiences and tales are show in the life of three characters: Joana, Maria and Cícera. All are women beyond the tide. In synthesis, our proposition leads to the notion that the female fishermen of Itapissuma may take possession of those technologies and techniques, through extension activities proposed by this particular research-action, and became authors on the construction of this knowledge about the fishing craft and the interests of this community when the day-to-day problems and issues may need to be represented.
