Family, motherhood, and prison in the militant narratives of the PRT-ERP

Abstract

How are the narratives of female activism constructed in the 1970s? What role do experiences such as motherhood, family, and prison play in the construction of subjectivity? What elements does the present contribute to redefine or challenge them? Paola Martínez, in her work entitled "Family, Motherhood, and Prison in the PRT-ERP Militant Narratives," brings together rigorous research, the result of her master's thesis. Based on the analysis of PRT-ERP documents, period magazines, interviews with former militants and their families, among other sources, she explores the female experience among female militants in the 1960s and 1970s.
