Encrespando: o cabelo da mulher negra e suas histórias no cotidiano

Abstract

In this present study we tell the story of four black ladies whose curly hair is a protagonist on their daily lives. Such stories bring to light situations of racism, sexism, as well as the search for self and world understanding which most black women go through during their relationship with their hair strings: childhood, capillary transition and empowerment of the curly hair strings. In order to interact with such plots (or drama) we use as basis Gomes, Bakhtin, Bhabha, Fanon, Certeau, Adichie, among other writers that contributed significantly for the ethical and aesthetic research materialized in this work. The methodology has been created under the indications of attentive hearing and lovingness proposed by Bakhtin. This author has guided us regarding the abrangent literary aesthetic finishing and at the same time revealer of the tensions present in the diversity of daily life.
