SUMMARY:

This qualifying material proposes an analysis, until now, of the novel Água Funda (2003) and the collection Contos de Cidadezinha (1996) by Ruth Guimarães, with the aim of highlighting narratives fictionalized by the writer that begin with “acontecências” (events lived or heard by her) and have certain aspects of the Brazilian nation, such as the stigmatized view of some subjects that are part of this community, maintaining, especially, women, Black people, country folk, and Indigenous people as objects of the dominating interests of those who perpetuate the imaginary of a cordial Brazil. As a theoretical framework for dialoguing with literature, this research brings together thinkers of the nation concept and the specificities of interest in this study: Benedict Anderson in Imagined Communities, Ernest Renan in What is a Nation?, Gilberto Freyre in Casa Grandes & Senzala, Darcy Ribeiro in O Povo Brasileiro, The Order of Discourse by Michel Foucault, Performances do tempo espiralar by Leda Maria Martins, A Escrevicência e seus subtextos by Conceição Evaristo, Como o racismo criou o Brasil by Jessé Souza, Masculine Domination by Pierre Bourdieu, A manipulação no discurso religioso by Jorge Luis Torresan. The development of this thesis partially concludes that Ruth Guimarães highlights in the works analyzed a perspective on national history, in which physical and emotional exploitation, mainly in relation to gender and race, is a dark stain on the collective memory.
