SUMMARY:

In spite of the operationalizations of silencing, exercised by strategies to maintain hegemonic power, unsubmissive literary voices seem to overlap their resistance to writing, breaking through imposed domains to which the invisibility of their bodies and texts is conducted. It is not uncommon for such overlapping, in literary criticism studies, to conceive of writing as a weapon, instrument or tool of resistance. However, this work has investigated writing as an act of resistance itself. From this perspective, analyzes of biographical data and writings from the vast artistic and literary production of writer and intellectual Carolina Maria de Jesus are carried out as a maneuver to try to understand how the resistance of this black woman is linked to her literary writing. Therefore, it reflects on the birth of this writing (JESUS, 2015) in dialogue with the ancestral gesture of the graphy-drawing of Conceição Evaristo's mother (EVARISTO, 2007). It also reflects on Carolina Maria de Jesus' discursive choices, which seem to move between the vocabulary reshuffle of classical Portuguese and pretuguês, conceptualized by Lélia Gonzalez (GONZALEZ, 2020). Such analysis has as main contributions the autograph notebook number 11 (JESUS, 1958) and the LP Quarto de Despejo (JESUS, 1961). The discussions on resistance, on the other hand, dialogue with the conceptions of the quilombo, as an institution of resistance, demonstrated by Beatriz Nascimento (NASCIMENTO, 2006) and of Quilombismo, as an ideology of resistance, defended by Abdias do Nascimento (NASCIMENTO, 1985), a perlaboration that seems to draw a genealogy of the concept. Taking these paths, guided by the writings of Carolina Maria de Jesus, as a kind of cartography, fosters the construction of an experimental concept of resistance writing which, outlined in the weaving and writing of the literary text, undertaken, above all by female diasporic bodies, it makes us think of writing not as a weapon, nor a tool, or an instrument, but as the materiality of resistant existences.
