Abstact: *Quarto de Despejo: Diário de uma Favelada* (1960), by Carolina Maria de Jesus, is a seminal work for understanding 20th-century Brazilian social dynamics, particularly regarding inequality, marginalization, and life in urban *favelas* (slums). This research focuses on the theme of "Marginal Literature in the Work *Quarto de Despejo* by Carolina Maria de Jesus." Written in diary format, the book compiles entries made by the author between 1950 and 1960, a period when she lived in Canindé, one of São Paulo's largest *favelas*. From an intimate and deeply humanized perspective, Carolina narrates the daily events that shaped her life and that of her neighbors, revealing the routine of hunger, lack of sanitation, prejudice, and violence that defines the *favela* environment. The work’s impact was immediate and significant; the book drew Brazilian society's attention to the reality of the *favelas* and established Carolina as one of the most powerful and original voices in national literature. To this day, *Quarto de Despejo* remains relevant, both for its aesthetic power and for its contribution to debates on poverty, racism, inequality, resistance, and citizenship. This monograph aims to analyze the work as a manifestation of "marginal literature," highlighting aspects of social critique and female resistance in the face of the exclusion experienced in Brazilian urban peripheries during the 1950s and 1960s. The study employs an integrative literature review methodology. This approach was selected because it enables the synthesis and analysis of existing bibliographic knowledge on the subject. The work is theoretically grounded in the writings of Amorim and Frazão (2019), Hollanda (2004), Ventura (1988), and Oliveira (2011), among other authors who contributed to the study's corpus. Carolina Maria de Jesus's writing remains essential, inspiring and mobilizing those who seek to understand and transform social reality.2025-12-15T00:00:00ZTerra sonâmbula, de Mia Couto: a perspectiva da infância no contexto de guerrahttps://repositorio.uema.br/jspui/handle/123456789/63962026-08-12T14:11:35Z2025-12-15T00:00:00ZTítulo: Terra sonâmbula, de Mia Couto: a perspectiva da infância no contexto de guerra
Abstact: Throughout the 20th century, especially after the independence processes in Portuguese-speaking African countries, literature assumed a central role in affirming national identities and rescuing oral traditions. Countries such as Angola, Cabo Verde, Guinea-Bissau, São Tomé e Príncipe, and Mozambique, which have Portuguese as their official language, developed their literary productions based on the experiences of colonization and the independence process, factors that strongly influenced their writings. In the African context, this literature seeks to reclaim national identity and value cultural memory. In Mozambique, after independence, the country faced a devastating civil war, a scenario in which works emerged that recount historical experiences, such as the novel Terra Sonâmbula (1992), by Mia Couto. This study analyzes the representation of childhood in times of war, considering the narrative construction methods proposed by the author. The methodology adopts a bibliographical and analytical approach to the literary text, allowing for a broader, more critical and sensitive understanding of the chosen narrative, drawing theoretical support from authors such as: Pires Laranjeira (2001), Rita Chaves (2005), Patrick Chabal (1994), Helena Colonna (2006), among others who contributed to the construction of this study. It concludes that Terra Sonâmbula reveals, through the fragmentation of childhood and the loss of innocence in times of war, how the experience of conflict shapes identities and memories. Therefore, Mia Couto's narrative, by articulating elements of orality and African cultural tradition, constructs a profound reflection on resistance, survival, and hope.2025-12-15T00:00:00ZA figura feminina no conto Olhos D’água, de Conceição Evaristo, na perspectiva da amefricanidadehttps://repositorio.uema.br/jspui/handle/123456789/63932026-08-12T13:25:03Z2025-12-15T00:00:00ZTítulo: A figura feminina no conto Olhos D’água, de Conceição Evaristo, na perspectiva da amefricanidade
Abstact: This study analyzes the short story Olhos d‟Água, by Conceição Evaristo, through the lenses of amefricanidade, matrilineal memory, and motherhood as a political act, highlighting how the author repositions Black women as central subjects of their own narratives. Drawing on the theoretical contributions of Lélia Gonzalez, Stuart Hall, y r nk y w m Pollak, Bosi, and other scholars from Black literature and cultural studies, the research examines how memory functions in the story as a mechanism of identity reconstruction, connecting past and presente through feminine ancestry. The study also investigates how Black motherhood is portrayed not only as an affective experience but as a form of resistance against racist and patriarcal structures that have historically silenced Black women. The analysis demonstrates that escrevivência a key concept in Evaristo‘s work transforms experiences of pain, poverty, abandonment, and affection into a political gesture affirming Black female subjectivity. The study concludes that Olhos d‟Água mobilizes symbolic, cultural, and historical dimensions that re-signify Black identity and expose structural inequalities, reaffirming literature as a tool of memory, resistance, and the reconstruction of subjectivities. This research reinforces the significance of Evaristo‘s work for understanding contemporary Afro-Brazilian literature and for strengthening epistemologies grounded in the experience of the African diaspora.2025-12-15T00:00:00ZAnálise semiológica dos símbolos que representam a identidade cultural da cidade de Aldeias Altas/MAhttps://repositorio.uema.br/jspui/handle/123456789/62452026-07-02T14:13:24Z2025-12-15T00:00:00ZTítulo: Análise semiológica dos símbolos que representam a identidade cultural da cidade de Aldeias Altas/MA
