Testemunhos de mulheres negras nas favelas em quarto de despejo e becos da memória: algumas reflexões de mulheres que se escrevem na interseccionalidade

Abstract

In spite of being chronologically distant, they present in their narratives similar characteristics, namely, black women, the poor, the slums and they are both subjected to marginality. However, both also bring a positive point of intersection: the transgression witnessed by black women in Brazilian slums. Thus, this bibliographical study aims at investigating how the experiences of the black and peripheral characters are witnessed, evidencing, through autobiographical writing, how they are written in intersectionality, also problematizing novels of memory, leading in the testimonies brought by the authors throughout the novels. In being so, we used the studies by Lejeune (2008), Calligaris (1998), and Pereira (1999), regarding the autobiographical text. Halbwachs (2006), and Bosi (2009) in discussions involving memory and also the testimonial studies by Foucault (1992), Yúdice (1992) and Moreiras (2001). Thus, the analysis are supported by the discussions in intersectional feminism, discussed herein under the perspective by Davis (2016), and Ribeiro (2017). Therefore, the contribution of this work is given in the exaltation of these women, as well as reaffirm the necessity of their insertion in the canon of Brazilian literature. Finally, evidencing how the novels of memory bring to light the marks of autobiographical writing, which testifies to the events of a lifetime.
