SUMMARY:

This dissertation investigates fictional representations of memory and female subjectivities in contexts of extreme violence, based on the analysis of the literary works Ventos do Apocalipse, by Paulina Chiziane, set during the Mozambican Civil War, and, in comparative perspective, Mata Doce, by Luciany Aparecida, situated in the post-abolition context of slavery in Brazil. Drawing on the understanding of literature as a constitutive element in the distribution of the sensible within a community (RANCIÈRE, 2005), the study problematizes the way hegemonic narratives about war and slavery privilege male voices, systematically silencing female memories that bring other perspectives on war and violence.
The research consists in understanding how these silenced memories find space, and how they are configured and represented within literary narratives, investigating the specificities of the fictionalization process and the discursive disputes it entails. The process of weaving these female memories in the selected works and their relationship with the historical and political contexts of production will be analyzed, articulating reflections on the role of fiction in disputes over collective memory and forgetting, on memory as a form of individual and collective identity recognition, and on the constitution of an aesthetics of the fragment in the narratives analyzed.
