Weaving identities, the threads of memory in Adonias Filho
Keywords:
Bahia literature, Women, Memory, IdentityAbstract
This article, based on the novel As velhas, by the Bahian writer Adonias Filho, analyses how each one of the four women, the main characters, revivify, through the exuberant and reckless landscape of the rainforest, the history of the hostile and male world, the Bahian cocoa universe and the history of the territorial conquest of a region. At the same time, these women narrate their pains, sufferings and revenges. By using the memory and the constitution of the identity of the characters, women and men, the purpose of this analysis is to understand how this memoirist narrative is built, through the materialization of the tensions which are modeled in the experiences and in the individual and collective histories of each subject and its culture.Downloads
