The “fotrica” as a meshwork and possibility of interweaving memories and trajectories

Abstract

This article seeks to propose some notes about “fotrica”. In this sense, the text presents theoretical perspectives that underlie what has been called “fotrica”, terminology based on the tensioning of the idea of gossip, in a research context in which images are associated with oral reports. Thus, “fotrica” is conceived as a relational meshwork and a movement of composition and articulation of memories and trajectories of women who share the same community context. Inserted in a photobiographical research, “fotrica” is thought as a relational and conceptual movement that will subsidize the intersection of women's trajectories in the research in progress in the Rural Zone of Londrina, Paraná, in the District of Maravilha. From this, I propose that “fotrica” can be characterized as a counter-hegemonic composition that underlies the intersection and articulation of photobiographies and that it is configured as a conceptual instrument that can make visible the reemergence of a collective memory on a shared territoriality.
