Resumo: This paper aims at investigating how slavery experiences of African Americans have been disregarded as traumatic, leading to the marginalized position their (auto)biographical works have had in the academic field. Drawing from the concepts of memory and identity, the analysis here proposed will examine how African American literary invisibility can be understood within academic discourse concerning the difference between (auto)biography and slave narratives as classificatory terms. Henceforth it will be possible to advocate for a visible space of African American (auto)biographies in the literary canon culminating in the production of neo-slave narratives in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, which have enriched studies of collective memory and identity.

Partindo dos conceitos de memória e identidade, a análise aqui proposta examinará como a invisibilidade literária afro-americana pode ser avaliada no discurso acadêmico a partir da diferença entre (auto)biografias e narrativas de escravizados como termos classificatórios. A partir disso, será possível advogar por um espaço visível das (auto)biografias afro-americanas no cânone literário, culminando na produção de neonarrativas de escravidão nos séculos XX e XXI, que enriqueceram os estudos sobre memória e identidade coletivas.Universidade Federal de Santa Maria2020-05-16info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionAvaliado pelos paresapplication/pdfhttp://periodicos.ufsm.br/LA/article/view/4249310.5902/1679849X42493Literatura e Autoritarismo; n. 23 (2020): Dossiê "Em torno da memória e do testemunho"1679-849X1679-849Xreponame:Literatura e Autoritarismoinstname:Universidade Federal de Santa Maria (UFSM)instacron:UFSMenghttp://periodicos.ufsm.br/LA/article/view/42493/23835Copyright (c) 2020 Literatura e Autoritarismoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSimões, HannaSantos, Marcel de Lima2023-05-24T03:09:16Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/42493Revistahttps://periodicos.ufsm.br/LA/indexPUBhttp://cascavel.ufsm.br/revistas/ojs-2.2.2/index.php/LA/oaigla@mail.ufsm.br||jlourique@pq.cnpq.br1679-849X1679-849Xopendoar:2023-05-24T03:09:16Literatura e Autoritarismo - Universidade Federal de Santa Maria (UFSM)false
