Muitas histórias são importantes – releituras de vida e tensionamentos epistemológicos

Abstract

The thesis was conceived as a book in which a character-author who wants to write displaces a character from literature to approach her encounters with fictional characters and fictionalized characters. These meetings encourage her to read and reread texts and passages from her life with a more situated perspective, seeking to decolonize her references and to tension the narcissistic pact of whiteness, the pact of coloniality of knowledge and the pact of academic reading and writing. In order to write about these encounters with literature and theory, she use the procedure known as appropriation - in which authorship occurs through the assembly with fragments and elements of other people's texts, using works by Julio Cortázar, Gabriel García Márquez, Roland Barthes, Gloria Anzaldúa, Conceição Evaristo, Maria Valéria Rezende, Paulo Freire, Marcela Lagarde y de los Ríos, Toni Morrison, Lia Vainer Schucman, Albert Memmi, among others. In this thesis-book, in addition to the narratives, the character-author shares her readings, her dialogues and discussions with authors, her discoveries, her writing process - experienced as a cry of indignation and as an invitation to dialogue.
