description The experience of intense mobility is characteristic of family relationships for those who currently live in rural settlements at the Zona da Mata de Pernambuco. Taking into account the territoriality of the work trajectories and different stages of the life cycle of these people, I demonstrate how the possibility of becoming a mother can be extended beyond a woman’s fertile period, namely, when she receives children at home who may become her “foster children”. These processual aspects fit in wider debates on filiation, parenting and conjugality, bringing a new understanding about intergenerational reproduction and the continued identities that result from it.

A vivência de uma intensa mobilidade caracteriza as relações familiares daqueles que vivem actualmente nos assentamentos rurais da Zona da Mata pernambucana. Adoptando uma abrangência temporal que tem em conta a territorialidade das trajetórias laborais e diferentes fases do ciclo de vida destas pessoas, argumento que a possibilidade de vir a ser mãe pode ser prolongada além do período fértil de uma mulher, designadamente, quando recebe em casa crianças que poderão vir a tornar-se seus "filhos de criação". Esta processualidade enquadra-se o debate em torno da filiação, parentalidade e conjugalidade, trazendo um novo entendimento sobre a reprodução intergeracional e as continuidades identitárias que dela decorrem.
