Memória: um ato de vivência e resistência em Solitária, de Eliana Alves Cruz

Abstract

The present work aims to analyze the novel Solitária (2022), by Eliana Alves Cruz, choosing the study of memory as an analytical category, in order to understand how in the process of recording the protagonists of the narrative lies a configuration of the resistance of female blackness, taking into account the psychic and social implications of the characters: Eunice and Mabel. Regarding the methodological aspect, the research is bibliographic and qualitative in nature, as its source of investigation is books and articles published in magazines. From a theoretical point of view, the main references are the systematization of memory by Halwbachs (1990), Bosi (1994), Le Goff (1990) and Castello Branco (1994). The analysis found that the memorialistic element used by the characters went beyond the movement between present and past, but also specific issues regarding sensitivity, ancestry, social reflections and resistance to the experiences in the context in which the mother and daughter were subjected.
