Abstract

Based on the discussion about the subaltern woman’s body as a stage of conflicts where the tensions resulting from Brazil’s unequal gender, class and race relations unfold, this article intends to analyze recent fictional works – specifically the novels: Marilene Felinto’s As mulheres de Tijucopapapo and Conceição Evaristo’s Ponciá Vicêncio, as well as the film O céu de Suely, by Karim Aïnouz – in order to place them within the debate of translation of the post-colonial agenda into Portuguese. Focusing the subjective experience represented in these fictional narratives, themes like travel, dislocation and exile will also be analyzed.
