Entre a mordaça e o esquecimento: as sequelas coletivas da ditadura militar em Azul Corvo, de Adriana Lisboa.

Abstract

This work investigates the relationships between memory, trauma and literature in contemporary Brazilian narrative and its representation of collective memory, focusing on the construction of the collective traumatic impact of the military dictatorship in the novel Azul corvo, by Adriana Lisboa. The choice of the work is justified by its relevance in preserving historical memory and denouncing the marks left by authoritarianism in Brazil, which still reverberate in the present. In this sense, the construction of testimony in literature is discussed as a process of remembering the traumas caused by the Brazilian military dictatorship, especially through a fragmented narrative permeated by silence. The research is conducted using a qualitative approach, with bibliographic analysis, supported by the concepts of memory, trauma, authoritarianism and violence in literature, developed mainly by Michael Pollak, Sigmund Freud, Márcio Seligmann-Silva and Jaime Ginzburg. Based on the analysis of the corpus, we seek to highlight characters and narrative elements that reveal how literature acts as an instrument of resistance to oblivion, rescuing, through language and narrative fragmentation, the traces of collective trauma and the silencing imposed by repression.
