THE THING AROUND YOUR MARRIAGE: AN ANALYSIS OF THE BLACK AND IMMIGRANT WOMAN IN TWO CHIMAMANDA NGOZI ADICHIE'S SHORT STORIES. (English)

HALL, Stuart, 1932-2014; ADICHIE, Chimamanda Ngozi, 1977-

The aim of this research was to analyze the identity of two immigrant women who are the protagonist of the short stories The Thing Around Your Neck and The Arrangers of Marriage, written by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. The theory used in the project was based on post-colonial studies with Bonnici (2012) and Ashcroft (2004), identity studies with Stuart Hall (2006), black feminism with Davis (2016) and hooks (2014; 2019), diaspora with Brah (2002), and others. It was observed that the diaspora suffered by the protagonists was a result of colonialism, which has, as a consequence, cultural disintegration and the double colonization of women, who deal with racism, objetification and repression of their culture. The characters resist through the cultural decolonization and going back to the country of origin. Considering the exposed, this research provides visibility to feminine and black characters, while contributes to postcolonial studies as well as cooperates with post-colonial literature teaching in Brazil.

Pesquisa de natureza qualitativa e bibliográfica que buscou analisar a identidade de duas mulheres imigrantes que protagonizam os contos The Thing Around Your Neck e The Arrangers of Marriage de Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. O referencial teórico usado para embasar esta pesquisa consiste nas discussões sobre os estudos pós-coloniais, de Bonnici (2012) e Ashcroft (2004), sobre identidade, de Stuart Hall (2006), sobre o feminismo negro de Davis (2016) e hooks (2014; 2019), sobre diáspora de Brah (2002), dentre outros. Percebeu-se que a diáspora sofrida pelas personagens é resultado do colonialismo, cuja consequência é a desintegração cultural e a dupla colonização dessas mulheres que sofrem diariamente com o racismo, objetificação sexual e repressão de suas culturas. Notou-se resistência das personagens por meio da descolonização cultural e do retorno ao país de origem. Finalmente, esta pesquisa proporciona visibilidade às personagens femininas e negras, além de contribuir para os estudos pós-coloniais e coadjuvar no ensino de literatura pós-colonial no Brasil, mais especificamente.
