Contested Narratives: afro-brazilian female representation in Maréia, by Miriam Alves

Keywords:

Afro-brazilian female literature; intersectionality; Miriam Alves; Maréia

Abstract

This article aims to discuss the women representation in Maréia, written by Miriam Alves (2019), as a space for legitimation of afro-brazilian female narratives. This approach highlights the occupation of contested territories (Dalcastagnè, 2012a, 2021b) in national literally scene as a strategy of representation and resistance in hegemonic narratives regarding afro-diasporic communities. From the construction of her female characters, Miriam Alves occupies the national literary territory inscribing subjects ethically and aesthetically committed to the rupture of racist and patriarchal representations. In this perspective, the concept of intersectionality will be used as an episteme, according to the propositions of Carla Akotirene (2019).
