Descripción
Sumario:Quarto de despejo: diário de uma favelada (2001), by Carolina de Jesus, and Becos da memória (2017), by Conceição Evaristo, are literary works that invite us to a walk through both fiction and the authors' own personal history. In this article, we propose, through these works, a comparative analysis of the memories present in the authors' lives, seeking to understand if they work as a mechanism of resistance to the silencing of Afro-Brazilian and peripheral women. For this, Martín Lienhard’s (2008) considerations about black resistance in Latin America will be part of the analysis as a theoretical foundation, since the author puts us before the insurgent black movements, demystifying the idea of passivity of the enslaved in this territory. We present discussions on the term “escrevivência”, coined by Conceição Evaristo (2020), as well as those of Aleida Assmann (2011) and Seligmann-Silva (2003) on the stabilizers of memory, because the works under study here are part of memorialistic accounts of the authors who experienced in the skin the narratives told.
