Abstract
This article uses an ethnographic experience in Japan to reflect on the condition of Brazilian women in Japanese society. At first I consider elements of lived experiences and affections from the fieldwork to think about the action of the norm on the political construction of the body. Then, by contextualizing ethnographic data, I analyze the situation of dual subordination and the status of migrant women as dissident and female bodies. Finally, I present how the condition of subordination points to a new becoming.
