AN INTERSECTIONAL WRITING IN MATURATION PROCESS
Conceição Evaristo. Afro-feminine literature. writing.
intersectionality. Black woman(s).
This work carries out a study of part of the literary production of the writer
Conceição Evaristo, involving especially the following works: Ponciá
Vicencio (2003), Olhos d’água (2015), Unsubmissive tears of women (2016),
Alleys of memory (2017), Poems of remembrance and other movements (2017),
Big Boy Lullaby (2018) and other texts published in works
collectives, in order to verify two elements in its production: the
black woman's experience in an intimate dialogue with black feminism. THE
hypothesis that supports the research is that the writing of the author in question is born with
an intersectional bias and the two components mentioned, among others, are
foundations in evaristian writings. The experience of the black woman harnessed
to the black female discourse is called by Ana Rita Santiago da Silva (2010)
as Afro-feminine literature, a term that becomes fundamental throughout the thesis. For
reflect on black feminism and the role of black women in literature
de Conceição Evaristo, we make use of the theoretical and critical support of concepts such as
intersectionality, Afro-feminine literature, among others that corroborate the
discussion. This critical exercise was designed from the perspective of feminism
black, having as main references Lélia Gonzalez (1982, 1984, 1988), Sueli
