A escrita literária de Carolina Maria de Jesus: análise interseccional da obra quarto de despejo: diário de uma favelada

Abstract

Historical studies and productions based on an inclusive, anti-sexist and anti-racist perspective support the intellectual process proposed in this work, which highlights the literary writing of Carolina Maria de Jesus, a black, poor and favela-dwelling woman, who used writing to record her experiences and experiences based on a keen analytical and critical sensitivity, which denounced the multiple and perverse political, social and economic facets and oppressive structures of life in the favela. Understanding the process and historical production circumscribed in the writings of Carolina Maria de Jesus, using intersectionality as a theoretical-methodological instrument to counter a Eurocentric and colonial historicity considered hegemonic, is the main scope of the epistemic exercise proposed here.To this end, the work: Eviction room: diary of a favela resident, became the main investigative object of this work. The concept of intersectionality was used to analyze the autobiographical work of Carolina Maria de Jesus, where we sought to observe the political, social and economic aspects present in her writings, through reading and mapping oppressive situations of race, class and gender experienced. and graphically portrayed by Carolina, in the historical period reported/experienced by her. It was concluded that historically voices, such as those of Carolina Maria de Jesus, a black intellectual, were silenced, hidden, belittled and made invisible by society.However, his writing is resistance, it is confrontation, as it reveals the “unofficial” history of a Brazil thought from the margins, it brings to light the truth of the marginalized, which official history violently tries to stifle and hide, strengthening the importance of thought decolonial approach to the critical study of history
