Resumo: My reading focus on: a) the representation of subalternity in Women of Ashes; b) the semantic, as well as political and ethical implications of the complex process of the narrator’s voice and name – the narrative voice that crosses the entire plot that intersects all the three different novels of The Sands of the Emperor. It starts, for that purpose, by pondering the twofold meaning of ‘representation’, in Can the Subaltern Speak?, by Gayatri C. Spivak, examining: a) the intersection of both Karl Marx’s 18th of Brumair of Louis Bonaparte and Antonio Gramsci’s The Southern Question, in her description of the concept of the subaltern; b) the way it is possible to project the characteristic features of the subaltern as an excluded subject in Women of Ashes. It performs this by uncovering both the instance of the neuter as Blanchot defines it – in L’entretien infinit – and the instance of singularity, as Spivak also unfolds it, in An Aesthetic Eductation in the Era of Globalization – reading them in one of the fables with which Mia Couto allegorizes them.

Parte, com esse propósito, da ponderação do duplo sentido de «representação» em Can the Subaltern Speak?, de Gayatri Spivak, analisando: a) a forma como aí se alinham os pressupostos de O 18 do Brumário de Louis Bonaparte, de Karl Marx, e de A Questão Meridional, de Antonio Gramsci, na descrição do seu conceito de subalterno; b) a forma como, em Mulheres de Cinza, se projeta a sua configuração do subalterno como excluído. Fá-lo pondo a descoberto quer a instância do neutro, de que nos fala Maurice Blanchot – em L’entretien infinit... –, quer a da singularidade, tal como Spivak a desdobra em An Aesthetic Education in the Era of Globalization – lidos como investidos numa das fábulas com as quais Mia Couto os alegoriza.Centro de Estudos do Real Gabinete Português de Leitura2021-06-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://www.convergencialusiada.com.br/rcl/article/view/42610.37508/rcl.2021.n45a426Converência Lusíada; Vol. 32 No. 45 (2021): Family Structures and Subalternities; 32-63Convergência Lusíada; Vol. 32 Núm. 45 (2021): Estruturas familiares e subalternidades; 32-63Convergência Lusíada; Vol. 32 No 45 (2021): Estruturas familiares e subalternidades; 32-63Convergência Lusíada; v. 32 n. 45 (2021): Estruturas familiares e subalternidades; 32-63Converência Lusíada; Vol. 32 N.º 45 (2021): Estruturas familiares e subalternidades; 32-632316-6134reponame:Convergência Lusíada (Online)instname:Real Gabinete Português de Leitura (RGPL)instacron:RGPLporhttps://www.convergencialusiada.com.br/rcl/article/view/426/323Cruz Pereira, José Pauloinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2024-02-17T02:18:05Zoai:ojs.convergencia.emnuvens.com.br:article/426Revistahttps://www.convergencialusiada.com.br/ONGhttps://www.convergencialusiada.com.br/rcl/oaiconvergencia.lusiada@gmail.comhttps://doi.org/10.37508/2316-61341414-0381opendoar:2024-02-17T02:18:05Convergência Lusíada (Online) - Real Gabinete Português de Leitura (RGPL)false
