DA DESOBEDIÊNCIA À DECOLONIALIDADE em “Luana” e “Tv a cabo”, de Cidinha da Silva

Abstract

Abstract: This analysis aims to discuss the relationship between the short stories “Luana” and “TV a Gato”, available in the book Cada tridente em seu lugar (2010), by Cidinha da Silva. Through this feminine writing of African descent authorship and, also, with the support from Cultural Studies, we can then investigate through these narratives a frequent writing of denunciation and retaliation; many of them marked by the collective memory that makes the black body, synonymous of objectification. The author works on such stories, such as: marginalization, poverty, otherness, retaliation and erasure as a source of survival in a hostile world to women since colonialism. In this sense, the investigation is based on strategies that seek to break with vicious circles of domination, guided by the coloniality of power, which, through disobedience, then lead to proposals for social protagonism and the decoloniality of knowledge.

Keywords: black female writing; decoloniality; Cidinha da Silva.
