A TERRA COMO AFIRMAÇÃO DO ARQUÉTIPO DA MULHER SELVAGEM: UMA ANÁLISE DA RECOMENDAÇÃO GERAL Nº 19 ADOTADA PELA CONVENÇÃO SOBRE A ELIMINAÇÃO DE TODAS AS FORMAS DE DISCRIMINAÇÃO CONTRA A MULHER – CEDAW

Abstract

It’s a research that investigates the acess to land by peasant woman as an expression of the Wild Woman archetype’s rescue. The analysis begins, in the first moment, from the narrative of the short story “Fur seal, skin of the soul”, from the book “Women who run with wolves: Myths and Stories of the Wild Woman Archetype”, by Clarissa Pinkola Estés. The seal woman’s skin loss story – the deprivation of her wild self, her homeland – allows establishing a new understanding of female peasant social movements for access to and ownership of land. Once this stage is completed, it’s reviewed some normative documents that regulate access to land by women in Brazil and, in this sense, advance in the structural fight against discrimination against women in the countryside. Finally, the Convention on the Elimination of all Forms of Discrimination against Women is examined – CEDAW, international treaty for the protection of women's human rights, ratified by the Brazilian State, which imposes, among other themes, minimum parameters of state actions in promoting access to land by women. It uses the exploratory method of analysis and, as research tools, the bibliographical, historical, legislative and documentary revision on the subject. In the end, it’s concluded although signatory to the treaty under analysis, Brazil perpetuates gender violence in the countryside and, acting in this way, annihilates the Wild Woman, mentor of the life of peasant women
