Abstract

This study aims to establish a dialogue between the book Quarto de despejo: Diário de uma favelada, by Carolina Maria de Jesus, and the short stories “Olhos d'Água” and “Maria”, inserted in Olhos d'Água by Conceição Evaristo. Thus, by means of a comparative analysis between Evaristo's narratives and Carolina's diary, we intend to find the similarities between the productions concerned, in order to identify the representation of a potentially collective reality, given that all narrators of the studied texts are black women, mothers, in poverty – both Carolina Maria de Jesus, who tells part of her own story, and the characters of Evaristo. For this purpose, we will mainly use the theoretical-critical assumptions of Regina Dalcastagnè, Margarete Aparecida de Oliveira and Conceição Evaristo herself, especially regarding the concept of escre(vivência).
