Cartografias do corpo: a reconstrução das corporeidades da avó na poética de Heleine Fernandes e Fabiana Carneiro. 2025. 52f. Trabalho de Conclusão de Curso (Letras - Língua Portuguesa e Literaturas), Departamento de Letras, Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, Natal, 2025.https://repositorio.ufrn.br/handle/123456789/64966This work aims to analyze the figure of the grandmother in the poetics of Heleine Fernandes, a black woman, and Fabiana Carneiro, an afro-indigenous woman, in order to understand what they seek when rescuing and reconstructing the corporealities of older women through literary writing. Since the body is an archive covered with words, symbols, meanings, sounds, adornments, memories, and stories, it was through it that African and Indigenous cultures resisted and persisted for centuries under social and cultural repression. From this perspective, the following study focuses on the corporealities of the grandmother in contemporary poetry, specifically in the works Nascente (2021) and Casa Cheia (2023). It is a bibliographic research with a qualitative approach, supported by theoretical contributions from Cuti (2010), Souza (2020), Evaristo (2005, 2017, 2010), Kilomba (2019), Graúna (2013), Potiguara (2018), Hampaté Bâ (2010), Martins (2021, 2003), and Bispo dos Santos (2023). The analysis developed aims to center the grandmother's body as a place and environment of memory, as well as an aesthetic and political way to subvert hegemonic narratives that point to the erasure and annihilation of non-white lives. Therefore, it is through poetic exercise that the authors, Heleine Fernandes and Fabiana Carneiro, seek to map fragments of memory and traces of territory, in order to reshape, within the corporealities of older women, their own shattered identities caused by coloniality.pt-BRAttribution 3.0 Brazilhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/br/Literatura negro-brasileiraLiteratura afro-indígenaMemóriaAvóCorporeidades.Black-Brazilian literatureAfro-Indigenous literatureMemoryGrandmotherCorporealitiesCartografias do corpo: a reconstrução das corporeidades da avó na poética de Heleine Fernandes e Fabiana CarneirobachelorThesisLINGUISTICA, LETRAS E ARTES
