Decolonialidades, feminismo negro, artes e resistências nas produções culturais de Conceição Evaristo, Ellén Oléria e Carmen Faustino

Abstract

This research aims to conduct a study based on the theories of intersectionality and black feminism in the cultural productions of the writer Conceição Evaristo, the singer and composer Ellen Oléria and the poet Carmen Faustino, black artists. The aim is to outline an interdisciplinary panorama between history and literature, in which the research paths proposed by Cultural Studies will be important in the intersectional debate on the issue of race and gender, colonial domination, power relations and resistance. We will discuss the place of black women within cultural spaces, more specifically, literature, music and the common dramas of the characters present in the literary works of Conceição Evaristo, in the compositions of Ellen Oléria, as well as in the combative poetic voice of Carmen Faustino's poems, directly crossed by machismo, colonialism, racism and class issues. In order to outline this intersectional horizon, the research points out some areas of action of black and feminist literature from a decolonial reading perspective; signals works of female indigenous literature as a form of resistance to colonialism; highlights the practice of writing in short stories by Conceição Evaristo; brings together the spheres of ancestry and Afrofuturism in the songs of Ellen Oléria and mixes erotic and political perspectives in poems by Carmen Faustino. To this end, we use the following authors as theoretical references: Lélia González (2020), Bell Hooks (2019), Patricia Hill Collins (2019), Sirma Bilge (2021), Audre Lorde (2019), Djamila Ribeiro (2018), Vilma Piedade (2017), Maria Elisa Cevasco (2003), Eurídice Figueiredo (2020), Lúcia Zolin (2009), Heloísa Buarque de Hollanda (1991) and Angélica Soares (1999).
