Resumo: This paper aims at analyzing two short stories, “The welcome table”, by the African-American writer Alice Walker, and “Duzu-Querença”, by the African-Brazilian writer Conceição Evaristo. The core of the analysis is to understand the way both literary narratives represent violence perpetuated throughout History by a colonial matrix of power. Starting from this point, we observe racialized and gender-based violence through the lens of decoloniality considering the development of the plot and the figurative dynamics of the characters. In order to do so, in the first section we introduce some theorizations on (de)coloniality and its unfoldment through violence and its relations to Literature. In the aftermath, we analyze the literary texts taking into account the concerns raised in the theoretical discussion observing how the semantization of oppressions supported by coloniality is built.

O ponto principal da análise é entender como as duas narrativas literárias encenam violências perpetuadas ao longo da história por uma matriz colonial de poder. Partindo desse ponto, observamos as violências de raça e gênero pela lente da decolonialidade a partir do desenvolvimento dos enredos e das dinâmicas de figuração das personagens. Para tanto, na primeira seção apresentamos algumas teorizações sobre a (de)colonialidade e os seus desdobramentos a partir da violência e as sua relação com a literatura. Na sequência, analisamos os textos literários a partir das questões levantadas na discussão teórica observando como é construída a semantização das opressões sustentadas pela colonialidade.UFSC2022-08-09info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/desterro/article/view/8474210.5007/2175-8026.2022.e84742Ilha do Desterro A Journal of English Language, Literatures in English and Cultural Studies; Vol. 75 No. 2 (2022): Approaches to Comparative Literature and Inter-American dialogues: a tribute to Renata R.
