SUMMARY:

Europe has a direct influence on world systems and established prior structures that cross the concept of race. This extract caused an ontological difference between Europe and marginalized civilizations in global power dynamics. Africa began to be explored by European peoples around the 15th century, when it already had a highly organized political, social, and cultural system. In this century, the process of sabotage against black people began. Myths about characteristics of the black body were reproduced, as well as alienation based on the repetition of repressive mechanisms, which caused the black person to lose confidence in themselves, in addition to the domination of the Catholic Church and pseudo-justifications given for the continuation of exploitation. In the history of Brazil, the figure of the black person is marginalized in terms of their place in the society where the events occur and in the history that is told. Marginalization is a term that consistently represents many positions directed towards black people in past and current times. This complex process is constituted by areas such as politics, society, and culture, being valid for this study mainly in relation to language and literature. Therefore, in this dissertation, we propose to analyze, based on the generative constituents of a literature that aims to be black, how the characteristics of the text written by the black writer Domingos Caldas Barbosa in the work Viola de Lereno (1760) reveal the existence of a literature that reaffirms its blackness, even in the eighteenth-century context, based on historical, linguistic, and psychological factors, as well as locating and contextualizing the relevance of the work and the author; explaining the reformulation of narratives about black literary productions in the 1700s-1800s, starting with the work Viola de Lereno, and elucidating values of history, memory, and black existence. To fulfill the purpose of this dissertation, several readings were carried out, resulting in a list of authors that will be used as points of support for the arguments constructed throughout the study, whether for agreement or refutation. The main authors highlighted include David Brookshaw (1983), Zilá Bernd (1994), Domício Pronça Filho (2004), Conceição Evaristo (2008), Kabengele Munanga (2020), and Frantz Fanon (2008). This dissertation finds its relevance when it is still necessary to shed light on literary history and productions by black people in certain periods; when, in addition to a literary-academic bias, the project serves society in the perspective of rehabilitation and strengthening, through the analysis of literary texts, of the values of history, memory, and black existence.
