Hiper sexualização dos corpos negros na Literatura Brasileira herança racista na contemporaneidade

Abstract

This article intends to demonstrate how the objectification of the black body occurs in Brazilian literature from the reading of the short story Nkala: um relato de bravura, which is part of the collection of the book, The flying carpet. Taking into account the racist history and objectification of the female body made by European colonialism. The analyzed tale reflects the representation of Afro-descendants since that time in contemporary society and provides a debate on the position of the black population in Brazilian society, denouncing structural racism and how black bodies are treated as disposable bodies/consumer objects. In this sense, we will make literature dialogue with social issues, as we consider that the literary work has characteristics that denounce the patriarchal, racist and subaltern culture for black people. To carry out this analysis, it will be necessary to operate the theoretical concepts to establish a survey of the social facts questioned in the work, they are: Ribeiro (2022) Ribeiro (2013), Carneiro ( 2022) Duarte (2008).
