A memória como estratégia para criação de novas subjetividades, nas narrativas: Quarto de despejo: diário de uma favelada de Carolina Maria de Jesus e A louca de Serrano de Bernardina Salústio

Abstract

Throughout Brazilian literary tradition and Cape Verde, the story of the black character / mestizo and female authors writing was formulaic, silenced and obliterated. Two writers were forerunners in the inauguration of writing black female authors / mestizo and presentation of new genres in their respective countries: Carolina Maria de Jesus with his diary and Bernardina Salústio with a long narrative, a novel. Room Eviction: Diary of a shantytown of Carolina Maria de Jesus and The Madwoman of Serrano Bernardina Salústio are narratives woven by memorialistic bias. The theme of the tessitura is centered on female characters, outlined as subjects that are constructed throughout their life trajectories, imbricated in the trajectories of their countries - Brazil and Cape Verde. Are subject off-center and moved in search of an identity, fragile and strong women through the vicissitudes and daily clashes, use memory as a strategy to build new forms of experiences and strengths to continue their walks, their paths through life.
