Memória e ancestralidade nos corpos diaspóricos: marcas de racismo e violência que desafiam o tempo

Abstract

Racism is at the heart of the formation of Brazilian society. And this has been instituted throughout history in various forms, which have also found diverse forms of resistance and denunciation. This work, entitled "MEMORY AND ANCESTRY": in diasporic bodies: marks of racism and violence that defy time, addresses this theme of racism and resistance through the literary production of denunciation, called "writing" by the writer Conceição Evaristo. Writing as an academic epistemological proposal aims to provide the possibility of launching a new look at the differentiated experiences that have built and built Brazilian society. In this sense, this work aimed to demonstrate how conceição Evaristo's literature, in the works Ponciá Vicêncio e Olhos D'água, can be an instrument of appreciation of the anthropological field, taking "writing" as a form of social denunciation of the persistence of racism in Brazil. Being a bibliographical research, we sought to perform a critical analysis, under an anthropological view, of the two works mentioned above, as well as, we took as reference the words of the author herself when talking about her method of writing and literary production in order to evidence the anthropological perspective. The results of the work point to the palpable possibility of anthropological verification of social aspects, such as racism, from the perspective of writing, since it was verified in the analysis a wealth of reflections on the forms of racism perpetrated in Brazilian society. That begins with the process of enslavement and remains to this day.
