| Sumario: | In this article, we aim to dialogically understand the term “escrevivência,” proposed by the Brazilian researcher and writer Conceição Evaristo, broadening the discussion of the concept through the dialogical analysis of the novel Becos da Memória. Our reflections are built on two analytical axes: a) “escrevivência” as an act of resistance and the reverberations of this self-writing in the discursive construction of the characters in the novel; b) “escrevivência” as a place of confluence of dialogized heterodiscourse and the tones of denouncement reflected and refracted in the discourse of the focused novel. Through these analyses, it is possible to glimpse self-writing as a place for (re)constructing memories, as an act, as existing in the world. In this sense, the Brazilian slums gain body, voice, and meaning: through the facts in a puzzle, dialogically guided by the narrator, the reader grasps the play of social forces that sustains the ambiance of the slum. Social and subjective values such as love, hatred, solidarity, violence, friendship, and individual and collective survival emerge from this writing, producing resistance in contemporary society. |
