Weaving a third story: the production of care in the context of migration and refugee

a produção de cuidado em contexto de migração e refúgio

Abstract

The text we propose is woven together from a composition of narratives drawn both from our experiences as women researchers in the field of psychology, which bear their mark, and from the experiences of migrant women who have shared their stories and experiences with us. Using spaces for the production of care with and for these women as our starting point, we rely on the Gestalt approach as the foundation for the production of this  care and on the concept of the “third story” (DELACROIX, 2022) as an unfolding of what is created in the collective. With narrative as our methodological approach, we consider that the third story preserves singularities, creates a novelty marked by horizontality and by what calls us to our humanity. Therefore, the importance of bringing it here as a potential and possibility for expanding the phenomenon of the experience of migration and refugee, especially when women narrate the stories of other migrant and refugee women.
