A Memória das Mulheres nas Ruas da Cidade de Ijuí/RS: Discursos Toponímicos na Exposição 'As Mulheres que Estão no Mapa'

Abstract

This article sought to problematize the social and gender relations that materialize in thememory of cities. We sought to answer the following question: How does the virtualexhibition “Women who are on the map”, produced by the Museu Antropológico DiretorPestana (MADP), enable some reflection upon the influences of social and gender relations inthe process that approves the names given to the streets in Ijuí/RS? From the Foucauldian discourse analysis, the toponymic discourse was thought as a consolidator of collective memory in the city of Ijuí, considering social and gender relations. To achieve such aim, we analyzed the data produced by MADP, which currently constitute the virtual exhibition.
