The present work aims to analyze aspects related to the space in Becos da Memória (2017), by the author Conceição Evaristo. It is understood here that the favela, place where the novel is set, occupies role of fundamental importance in the construction of such narrative, acting in the representation of the black personages in the writing of Evaristo. This favela space is a place of both belonging and transit of individuals, reinforcing the idea that the spaces where the subjects pass are organized based on their experiences and exchanges with their body. In this sense, giving voice to the "space-favela" is the movement of decentralization, removing the veil that covered marginalized subjects, thus giving voice to differences. Such reflections will be carried out from notes by important theorists such as Luis Alberto Brandão (2013) and Paul Ricoeur (2003) who think of space as an element of a story, a foundation of character inseparable from the narrated individual.References
