Espaços de exclusão e memória em narrativas de Conceição Evaristo e Carolina Maria de Jesus

The relationship between memory and space has been explored by researchers in various fields of knowledge, in particular literature, since this is a relationship that pervades the individual through his/her individual experience, as well as in social relations. The construction of spatiality and the ways in which places are experienced imply displacements and vary according to the reality and perspective of each individual. In this context, this study aims to analyze the memory spaces in the works Memory alleys (2013), by Conceicao Evaristo, and Eviction room: diary of a favelada (2014), by Carolina Maria de Jesus, in order to understand how the senzala space presents itself in the favela space, from mechanisms of exclusion. The physical space is evidenced in the narratives investigated herein, representative of the social condition of the characters, mediated by social values.
