Mulheres negras tensionam as fronteiras modernas da nação: uma cartografia poética do Atlântico Negro entre Brasil e Uruguai

Abstract

This dissertation aims to examine the poetic enunciations of black women in the works um corpo negro, by Lubi Prates, and in the anthology Tinta: poetas afrodescendientes as a subjective elaboration of the afrodiasporic body as an enunciative territory that builds a cartography of presences in the Black Atlantic. Therefore, I carry out this study from three categories of analysis, which serve as topos for the sedimentation of this rhizomatic territory, namely, 1) Afro-Atlantic crossing and its extension through the Latin American territory, with special attention to Brazil and Uruguay, from which the aforementioned works are enunciated, respectively; 2) Amefricanity, political-cultural category coined by Lélia Gonzalez (2020), verifiable in this female poetic corpus as a subjective production of the body that configures itself as a rhizome identity in terms of É. Glissant (2005); 3) Escrevivência, as a theoretical operator of collective agency of voices (SOUZA, 2018) and creative locus of imagination of presences forged from the literary enunciation of black women, according to Conceição Evaristo (2017a). In this way, one contemplates in such black feminine poetics an enunciative body that causes tensions and fissures to the modern borders of nations from the enunciative irruption that puts in check the single root of the colonial matrix as a structuring of these national territories, recovering memory, history and ancestry from contemporary presences recomposed by the body-letter (EVARISTO, 2017b) inscribed from Amefrican prefaces to the Black Atlantic.
