Abstract

Based on the theoretical, methodological and political position of materialist discourse analysis, into dialogue with black feminism, I approach struggles for places of enunciation of, for and about black women in the context of anti-racist and anti-sexist struggles in Brazil from mid-70s. I understand these places of enunciation are forged in subjective/identifying processes from the movements of inclusion/exclusion, differentiation and resignification of feminist discourses, of the black movements, of construction of national identity, of the African Diaspora, among others. My theoretical reflections focus on the enunciation of self, correlated to recurring topics, such as invisibility, stereotypes about black women and the silencing, opposed to the claim of the voice and of the story of black women and to the affirmation of positive identities. I build a descriptive and interpretative path focusing on the political operation of political us and political I, both positioning black women as subject of a proper say in a heterogeneous corpus that crosses the theoretical and literary production, and political interventions of intellectual/activist black women. I discuss the ways in which struggles for the interpretation of self constitute the subject black women at a crossroad of memories and founding discourses (AU)
