Resumo: | This article analyses the short story "A private experience" by Chimamanda Adichie, highlighting not only the author's narrative aesthetics, but also the themes addressed in her plots. The impasse between religions, cultures, countries and ethnicities is a constant mark in her stories. In the short story we chose for study, we privilege the encounter, the union and the tenderness of the human experience exchanged between the two characters. Instead of highlighting differences, this study advocates reconciliation between peoples and cultures, as stressed by the author herself in her fictions and essays. We follow the thoughts of Pascale Casanova, Frantz Fanon and Homi Bhabha which enlighten us about conflicting and antagonistic situations in contemporary society. The result of this study points to a possible mediation between individual identity and the general framework of society. In fact, the literary text connects what social reality insists on separating. |

O impasse entre religiões, culturas, países e etnias é um marco constante em suas histórias. No conto que elegemos para estudo, privilegiamos o encontro, a união e a ternura da experiência humana trocada entre as duas personagens. Em lugar de ressaltar a diferença, este estudo defende a reconciliação entre povos e culturas, como frisa a própria autora em suas ficções e ensaios. Seguimos o pensamento crítico de autores como Pascale Casanova, Frantz Fanon e Homi Bhabha que nos esclarecem sobre situações conflituosas e antagônicas na sociedade contemporânea. O resultado deste estudo aponta para uma possível mediação entre a identidade individual e o quadro geral da sociedade. De fato, o texto literário une o que a realidade social insiste em separar.UFRN2024-06-28info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufrn.br/odisseia/article/view/3258110.21680/1983-2435.2024v9n1ID32581Odisseia; Vol. 9 No. 1 (2024): Revista Odisseia; 201-220Revue Odisseia; Vol. 9 No. 1 (2024): Revista Odisseia; 201-220Revista Odisseia; v. 9 n. 1 (2024): Revista Odisseia; 201-2201983-243510.21680/1983-2435.2024v9n1reponame:Revista odisséiainstname:Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN)instacron:UFRNporhttps://periodicos.ufrn.br/odisseia/article/view/32581/18815Copyright (c) 2024 Revista Odisseiahttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessBezerra de Araújo, Rosannede Araújo Cadó, Júlio CésarCosta Menezes da Rocha , Maria Clara2024-06-28T23:56:20Zoai:periodicos.ufrn.br:article/32581Revistahttps://periodicos.ufrn.br/odisseia/indexPUBhttps://periodicos.ufrn.br/odisseia/oai||revistaodisseia2016@gmail.com1983-24351983-2435opendoar:2024-06-28T23:56:20Revista odisséia - Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN)false |
