“Negras candaces, negras fortes no poder”: a intelectualidade negro-feminina do Ilê Aiyê

Abstract

In this study, they were analyzed as intellectual productions of black women, who are inserted in the context of the Afro Ilê Aiyê Block. Theoretical operators were used as recording and creation of blacks, respectively, of black intellectual women, a saber: Conceição Evaristo and Neusa Souza Santos. Issues related to the construction of black identity, from memories of racism to the recognition of one's aesthetics, were analyzed here. As well as the new places of enunciation, which present gifts with the intention of subverting discursive constructions without legitimacy, thus considering a possibility of different forms of existence. The dialogue between the local and the global shows the Afro bloc as the pioneer in the process of changing the trajectory of Afro-Bahians and Afro-Brazilians. This work was possible to conclude that Ilê Aiyê is a common place of contribution to the writing of the author of this dissertation, as for other black women, who builds and still builds as her intellectual productions that have the afro block as a perspective. As the invisibility of female actions in the face of decision making is undeniable, as well as the maximum number of song lyrics compositions in a block, the study sought to break silences and manifestos such as artistic and intellectual productions of a selected body.
