This article identifies linguistic-cultural representations of resistance in the narrative Adão e Eva of authors Lodenir Karnopp and Fabiano Rosa, the deaf literature and Ynari: a menina de cinco tranças of angolan authorOndjaki. For this, we use the comparativist approach bringing evidence of resistance in the works from the perspective of post-colonial studies. In the first part we contextualize the two narratives, then we use the term resistance from the post-colonial studies and, finally we do the analysis of the narratives. In order to define the elements of comparative analysis, we use some aspects of topoanalysis listed by Ozíris Borges Filho limiting our study to the strength of evidence manifested in the narratives by characters and the ambiance created by the authors, trying identify cultural values and language that are expressed in the narratives. We will see that both Adão e Eva and Ynari have textual elements that demonstrate linguistic and cultural values and the authors make literature a strategy for resistance.
