Resumo
This article analyzes the short story “Maria”, by Conceição Evaristo, from the perspective of Ecosystemic Discourse Analysis, to observe how the discourse of racial prejudice impels the subjects to practice violence against the black population, in addition to determining the way the Afro-Brazilian population interacts socially. This story tells the story of the character Maria, a black woman, who lives in a slum, works as a domestic worker in the home of a high-income family. On the way home, after anotherday of work, she gets on a bus that is assaulted by her ex-partner. The man is the father of her first child and her great love. She becomes a victim of lynching, as a result of a mistake. Ecosystemic Discourse Analysis, proposed by Couto (2014), has as central concepts the valorization of life and the fight against avoidable suffering, and adheres to the ideology of life. It was noticed that this narrative highlights discrimination and prejudice against black people and disadvantaged economic class, in addition to focusing, through disharmonious interactions, the contempt and exclusion suffered by black people and women.
