Literatura indígena brasileira de autoria feminina: o Piauí no cenário da aldeia nacional

Abstract

This work aims to analyze indigenous literary productions by female authors, contemplating the insertion of an author from Piauí in the national scenario of Brazilian Indigenous Literature by female authors. To this end, here we initially contextualize the indigenous situation of Piauí and present the authors. Next, aspects and conceptions of contemporary Brazilian Indigenous Literature are presented, with a subtopic for the national perspective and another for the Piauí perspective. From now on, the work includes an exhibition of female authorship of National Indigenous Literature, presenting some conceptions of what it means to be an indigenous woman and bringing the names of three writers who were precursors and consolidators of this literature, namely Eliane Potiguara, precursor, and Truduá Dorrico and Eva Potiguara, consolidators. Therefore, the work moves towards literary analyzes of the poetic productions of authors Graça Graúna, Márcia Wayna Kambeba and Aliã Wamiri Guajajara, a name from Piauí that is emerging on the national scene. In this last moment, which moves on to final considerations, the work presented here mentions the singularities and confluences between the authors' productions and their poetic expressions.
