O (não) dizível e a representação da experiência afro-americana em "O Olho Mais Azul"

Abstract

The Black female writing emerges as a space to point out the issues that have been silenced and erased throughout time and space around the non-spoken of the black bodies, mainly when considering black women. As long as the written productions by black women emerged, the academic isolation of these women was seen, as a segregationist and sexist environment, without the presence of an authentic discourse, coming from minority and subjugated populations. Toni Morrison’s narrative appears as a provocative writing to the discourse that mischaracterizes black people, characterizing itself as anti0racist, feminist and anti-colonialist pedagogical instrument – contrary to the forms of domination of the other. Morrisonian writing presents itself as a source of representation of the -self – what is defined by Evaristo (2019) as Escrevivência – turning the feminine image positive and strengthening the alterity of their voice and the ancestry of their roots. The need to discuss The Bluest Eye and look the character Pecola Breedlove is affirmed so that both the reverberation of discursive spaces around black identity and the authority in representation around the Afro-American living on the (non)spoken related to race, gender and class involving the black people, especially the sexual violence against black children. Therefore, the study is proposed as an educational means for the awareness of the struggle around the subalternization of the other and as a means of fighting against the effects of racial dominations that still persist to this day. To this end, the study of the narrative present in The bluest eye highlights the elements about black esthetics, ancestry and black identity, the process of Otherness, the culture of racial hate, the psychological degradation, all related to many violences provoked by the white discourse of alienation.
