SUMMARY:

In spite of the operationalizations of silencing exercised by the strategies of maintenance of
hegemonic power, unsubmissive literary voices seem to imbricate meanings of resistance to
the writing they conceive, breaking imposed domains to which the invisibility of their
bodies-texts are conducted. Infrequently, studies of literary criticism demonstrate to
understand writing as a weapon or instrument of resistance. This work, however, investigates
writing as a gesture, an act in itself of resisting, concatenated to ways of living. In this sense,
analyses of biographical and written data of the vast production of the writer and intellectual
Carolina Maria de Jesus are carried out in the search to try to understand how modes of
resistance, surrounded by the reaches, limits and paradoxes of this black woman, are
concatenated with her literary writing. To this purpose, it reflects on the birth of her writing
(JESUS, 2015), as well as on the aesthetic and discursive choices of Carolina Maria de Jesus
as subject[a] étinic[a] of the discourse (CUTI, 2010), that move between the refined
vocabulary and the pretuguês (GONZALEZ, 2020). Seeking to understand what would be the
perspectives and meanings of resistance performed in writing, the discussions dialogue with
the conceptions of quilombo, as an institution of resistance (NASCIMENTO, 2006) and
Quilombism, as an ideology of resistance (NASCIMENTO, 1985). Following these paths,
guided by the writings of Carolina Maria de Jesus, as a kind of cartography, fosters the
construction of the concept of resistance writing. A subversive diction that is outlined in the
tessitura and writing of the literary text, projecting not only combative perspectives; that,
articulating aesthetic and ethical aspects, translates in a powerful way rationality,
disobedience and the claim of rights, among them that of writing; and which, undertaken
above all by female diasporic bodies, makes us think of writing as the materiality of resistant
existences.
