Espaço e heterotopias nas obras de Conceição Evaristo e Geni Guimarães

Abstract

Space, place, territory, mobility and displacement are, among others, striking contemporary terms that best describe the complex relationship between subject and the environment in which they lives. To displace suggests a physical movement, and also emotional through different geographical areas, often completely strangers, in which the subject needs to seek different conciliation strategies. The turbulences experienced these processes of non belonging inevitably pass through the notion of spacing. The present work investigates the multiple spaces experienced by contemporary subject. These multiple spaces becomes interesting to uncover the conflicting relationship between the “I”, the "other” and the place of “occupation" of these subjects, in addition to issues relating alterity and subalternity marginalized individuals, especially black women. Our approach from the reading of novels Ponciá Vicêncio (2003) and Becos da Memória (2006) of Conceição Evaristo; and A Cor da Ternura (1998), and the book of short stories: Leite do Peito (2001) of Geni Guimarães. We defend idea that writers occupy such a space where writers produce texts that touch feelings inherent to the human being, touching all universal way.
