A (des)construção do corpo em Quarto de despejo

Abstract

his article aimed to contribute to the list of research on Carolina Maria de Jesus, an important figure in contemporary Brazilian literature, and to weave some reflections around the notion of (de) construction of the body, under the axis of social representations, in the work Quarto of eviction: diary of a favela (2014). For this, it was considered as a relevant element the place of speech of Carolina de Jesus, who recreates the unhealthy environment in which she lived and projects in the linguistic materiality the different voices of the favela construct. Thus, by means of an interpretative study, we started from the theoretical body status, in the Psychoanalysis of Jacques Lacan, and from the construction and deconstruction of Antelo (2007) and Nancy (2014), in order to indicate how the corporeality of the common reality is established in narrative.
