A presença da voz negra brasileira em Úrsula de Maria Firmina dos Reis

Abstract

The present work aims to analyze the voice of a black Brazilian author, addressed in the nineteenth century, in the face of issues that were interconnected with patriarchy. A widely discussed topic, since the female and black space are aspects that encompass the social and literary environment. The central objective of this work is to address a perspective on the representativeness of the black voice in literature, since society makes its silencing evident through its race, gender and social class. Associating the work Ursula by Maria Firmina do Reis that makes a condensation on slavery and the issue of women as an object of idealization. In addition, we will carry out an agenda on Romanticism, which was a literary movement and which gave rise to a Condoreira phase, where black authors could use literature as a form of social denunciation. It is proposed to present questions about the literary historical contextualization, and about the conditions in which nineteenth-century women are situated in a parameter of gender, literature and society, with a theoretical reference in the authors Neusa Sousa (1983), Zilá Bernd (1988), Djamila Ribeiro (2019) and Eni Orlandi (2009), who discuss the proposed subject, among others.
