Entre bailes, sótãos e cemitérios silenciamento, violência e apagamento identitário da mulher negra em Cogumelos e Maria Pudim, de Breno Accioly

Abstract

This research analyzes the construction of silencing, violence and identity erasure of black women in the short story “Maria Pudim” by Breno Accioly, whose objective is to analyze how the process of construction of violence in literature takes place, discussing, therefore, how contemporary literature occupies The theme of violence, silencing and identity erasure of black female bodies is used and how these are presented in the composition of literary narratives, and, therefore, that the representation of violence has been a theme constantly explored in various literary productions, converting it if so, in an object of discussion and investigation of different critical and historiographical studies, Silva (2018). In order to have the objectives of this work achieved, a bibliographical research and a theoretical-qualitative analysis were used, initially based on studies of violence and silencing carried out by Foucault (1987) and theoretical studies on the silencing and erasure of the representation of black female bodies within literary literature carried out by Evaristo Conceição (2005), Schollhammer (2009-2013), Butler (2015), Pellegrini (2008), Bourdieu (2005), Chauí (2019), Bauman ( 2007-2011), Agamben (2009), Ramos (2013), among others. As a result of this research, the analysis in question showed that violence comes from the dawn of humanity and literary narratives establish a connection with reality, as Breno Accioly seems to do. With regard to the silencing and erasure of the black woman's identity in the space of the story, she is still represented as an enslaved, silenced body and only has visibility as an "object-body", as stated by Evaristo (2005). Therefore, violence always predominates in the imaginary spaces of fiction and reality, be it symbolic, psychological or physical violence, both will always culminate in the silencing and erasure of bodies and why not say in the death of these bodies.
