Resumo: Little attention is given to the female authorship in Brazil, as well as the reduced number of black women characters, mainly as narrators or protagonists. This makes even more important short stories such as “Maria” and “Rosa Maria Rosa” from Conceição Evaristo’s short stories books, Olhos d’água (Watery eyes - 2014) and História de leves enganos e parecenças (History of small misleadings and similarities - 2016) respectively. Our objective is to analyze the female character in the short stories mentioned above, with special attention to the weight of their own bodies, that is, as black people and women, in a society still plenty of prejudice and discrimination. We observe that the writer, besides highlighting those individuals in the margins, also problematizes the construction of stereotypes that passed to the nation history, bringing to literature another point of view, and another perspective. The theoretical approaches that support this research are the studies by Ascroft, Griffiths & Tiffin (2007), Chandra Mohanty (2002) and Elizabeth Grosz (2000).

Nosso objetivo é analisar a personagem feminina negra presente nestas produções, atentando-se para o peso do próprio corpo, ou seja, enquanto mulher e negra, em uma sociedade ainda marcada por preconceitos e discriminações nessas esferas. Observamos que a autora, além de trazer para o primeiro plano esses sujeitos deixados à margem, ainda problematiza construções e estereótipos que perpassam a história do país, trazendo para a literatura outro olhar, outra perspectiva. As abordagens teóricas que embasam esta pesquisa são os estudos de Ashcroft, Griffiths e Tiffin (2007), Chandra Mohanty (2002) e Elizabeth Grosz (2000).Programa de Pós-graduação em Letras2017-05-26info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://ojs.uel.br/revistas/uel/index.php/terraroxa/article/view/3092310.5433/1678-2054.2017v33p18Terra Roxa e Outras Terras: Revista de Estudos Literários; Vol. 33: Etnia e pós-colonialismo (jun. 2017); 18-29Terra Roxa e Outras Terras: Revista de Estudos Literários; Vol. 33: Etnia e pós-colonialismo (jun. 2017); 18-29Terra Roxa e Outras Terras: Revista de Estudos Literários; v. 33: Etnia e pós-colonialismo (jun. 2017); 18-291678-2054reponame:Terra Roxa e Outras Terras: Revista de Estudos Literáriosinstname:Universidade Estadual de Londrina (UEL)instacron:UELporhttps://ojs.uel.br/revistas/uel/index.php/terraroxa/article/view/30923/23752Copyright (c) 2017 Terra Roxa e Outras Terras: Revista de Estudos Literáriosinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessBatalini, Marcela GizeliFeldman, Alba Krishna Topan2020-10-22T14:38:22Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/30923Revistahttp://www.uel.br/revistas/uel/index.php/terraroxa/indexPUBhttps://ojs.uel.br/revistas/uel/index.php/terraroxa/oaiterraroxa.uel@gmail.com1678-20541678-2054opendoar:2023-01-13T10:37:18.004738Terra Roxa e Outras Terras: Revista de Estudos Literários - Universidade Estadual de Londrina (UEL)false
