MARUGAN RICART, Paola María. Terrane: A Decolonial Lens to Read Production Processes in Brazil’s Northeastern Region and the Pedreira Women from Sertão do Pajeú. Tabula Rasa [online]. 2021, n.38, pp.155-175.  Epub Nov 09, 2021. ISSN 1794-2489.  https://doi.org/10.25058/20112742.n38.07.

This article engages in the analysis of the first stage of the creative process known as Terrane, wherein artist Ana Lira starts investigating production processes in water-storage technologies, as experimented by women in Brazilian semi-arid lands, along with their feminist, social, and environmental organization strategies. The analysis articulates a reflection upon modes of production across the Northeastern Region, within the framework of the Brazilian national imaginary, as a disabled territory in need of ongoing tutelage. In that line, I understand Terrane as a decolonial lens that allows us to read/feel in another way the processes of spatial and subjective production among women and the region.

Keywords : creative processes; pedreira women; spatiality; region/nation; feminist organization; decolonial lens..
