Mar de circularidades: leituras da prosa de autoria feminina na perspectiva afro-atlântica.

This article aims to discuss some conditions of possibility for the analysis of amefrican2 works produced by women, centered on universes of experiences of the crossing narrated from the point of view of black subjects in the Diaspora process. In this sense, we selected a literary corpus composed of works by Maria Firmina dos Reis (2004), Conceição Evaristo (2017; 2019) and Ana Maria Gonçalves (2018). Studies on the transatlantic traffic and the crossing on the slave ship are addressed, as well as the dialogue between theoretical and historical knowledge on the subject and literary productions in the face of the sequestration and crossing experience. We take the metaphor of the archipelago, proposed by Édouard Glissant (2014), as a foundation for the construction of the methodology that will subsidize the discussion carried out. Our argument proposes the hypothesis of an Atlantic as a cemetery and, particularly, as a cemetery of our Others, to which the selected corpus -- as part of a broader set of amefrican literatures of female authorship -- allows us to access processes of recomposition of fragmented memories in the crossing.
