abstract

I problematize the concept of ‘escrevivência’, by Conceição Evaristo, a contemporary Afro-Brazilian writer, as a specific narrative of black women that ‘fissures’ the modern colonial project. In this regard, I highlight Úrsula, by Maria Firmina dos Reis, a novel published in 1859, proposing a lineage that reaches the ‘poetic brutalism’ (Duarte 2020) of Conceição, whose work began to be published in the 1990s. I conclude that ‘escrevivências’ are new epistemes that dialogue with intersectional feminisms (Collins 2017) and produce counter-discourses that retrieve the right to ‘self-definition’ of diasporic women who inhabit the border.
