Mães, Teares E Sereias Nas Favelas Do Rio De Janeiro: Chacinas E Movimentos Sociais

The study seeks to understand the relationship between police violence and the massacres that occurred in Rio de Janeiro for the creation of identity in social movements organized and represented by the mothers of the victims. In this way, identity formation is understood through acts of protest and the creation of social movements, corresponding to a previous massacre. The research indicates the need for the formation of solidarity networks among mothers in the favela through the activities they carry out in the absence of state protection, as the violence against their families is precisely perpetrated by state agents. Mostly, bibliographical review of specialized literature on contemporary social movements is used; data from Radar Saúde Favela (Fiocruz), a magazine specialized in publicizing the reality of favelas in Rio de Janeiro; and data from the Study Group on New Illegalisms (GENI/UFF) located at the Fluminense Federal University. Through reading and interpretation of data, descriptive and correlational research is carried out between the objects studied. It is concluded that the network of affection and care of mothers in the favela composes the search for social justice and memory, antagonizing the structurally and socio-historically violent and lethal legitimized state power. The research innovates by presenting the correlation in the constitution of social movement identity in recent events, associating the creation of social movements with the creation of social solidarity relationships.
