As roupas na costura dos tempos: corporalidades, memória e transformações sociais

This article seeks to understand, by means of clothing, the relationships between corporeality and memory. Throughout the field research, the dialogue with women in a quilombo in Pernambuco showed that the ways of dressing constituted an important material and moral qualifier for reflection on asymmetrical relations and social transformations. Clothing was also a valuable social marker, due to its place in the public constitution of corporeality and the production of reputations. From this point on, I demonstrate how clothing and the work invested in it indicate social changes that are embodied, expressed both in subjective movements of self-care and in collective agencies.
