In the chinks of grimpy notebooks: Carolina Maria de Jesus’ the testimonial embroidery

This paper aims at approaching the writing by an author who reached farther than her social, economic and limited conditions would allow. It also proposes to examine the writings by Carolina Maria de Jesus as an indication of a conceptual re-meaning of a quotidian discourse, which is materialized by means of allegories of a difficult life. Such experiences will be demonstrated, considering the author’s dislocation to the condition of subjective instance who reveals a discourse of social exclusion while bringing to literature such a kind of social portrait. It is registered in the theoretical contributions of AD (French), that this thesis project aims to look, closely, to the basic literary corpus, although incanonic, consisting in the work entitled “Quarto de Despejo - Diário de uma favelada”, with a view to propose an interface that works together to sketch the processes of subjectivation; it also aims to outline what here is called the literary incanonic discursivity in Carolina Maria de Jesus.
