Dissertação (Mestrado em Letras e Linguística) - Universidade Federal de Goiás, Goiânia, 2022.http://repositorio.bc.ufg.br/tede/handle/tede/12419The present work aims to analyze the books Quarto de despejo (1960) and Casa de Alvenaria (1961) by Carolina Maria de Jesus, seeking to reflect on the identity search of the protagonist of the two novels. The nature of the research is bibliographical, focusing mainly on studies on identity construction and black feminism. In this regard, we will draw parallels on how the identity of Carolina Maria de Jesus is constituted from a vision that involves her gender, her color and the social class she belonged. In Quarto de despejo (1960) there is an incessant search by the narrator-character for the recognition of the public and to assert herself as a writer to get out of that place. In this regard, the author uses her voice as a social denunciation and escapism when addressing in the work the social issues in which she and others in her groups were involved. We are also interested in problematizing the changes that occur from one work to another with the protagonist and how her identity is constructed. Thus, in Casa de Alvenaria (1961), the narrator reports her dissatisfaction after the publication of her first work and we observe that the literary status of the author-character, for being black, mother-woman, and a slum woman, is something that distances her from literate system and becomes a negative sentence about her authorship. Carolina Maria de Jesus is the symbol of the importance of writing as the possibility of giving projection to those who were, socially and culturally, silenced for centuries. For the work, studies were called from de Ciampa (1987), Hall (2015), Davis (2016), Gonzales (2019), Mota (2011), among others.Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 InternationalAutoria negra femininaCarolina Maria de JesusIdentidadeBlack female writingIdentityLINGUISTICA, LETRAS E ARTES::LETRAS::LITERATURA COMPARADADissertação
