Escrevivendo dores: uma análise da dororidade em Cartas para minha avó, de Djamila Ribeiro, e Cartas para a minha mãe, de Teresa Cárdenas

Abstract

The book Cartas para minha avó (2021) was written by the teacher, philosopher, speaker and black Brazilian feminist Djamila Ribeiro, and Cartas para a minha mãe (2010) is written by the writer, screenwriter, ballet dancer, actress and activist Cuban social worker, Teresa Cárdenas. Both texts are written in the form of letters. In the book Cartas para minha avó, the author addresses them to her late grandmother, a strong woman who served as a source of inspiration to overcome life's challenges, while in Cartas para a minha mãe, the writer, from a character, addresses your letters to your late mother, who left she very early. In light of these two impactful narratives, in which racism is present on a daily basis, we seek to analyze the presence and impact of Dororidade on its characters. To this end, we carried out a bibliographical research in which we deepened the study through authors with important contributions, such as: Vilma Piedade (2017), Conceição Evaristo (2020) and Djamila Ribeiro (2018). At the end of the analysis, we found that Dororidade is a feeling present in both narratives and that it is essential for the development of the protagonists as black girls/young people/women who need these bonds of affection and sharing of pain to be able to overcome the difficulties that permeate your lives.
