SUMMARY:

Literature, as an artistic and cultural expression, emerges as another space of resistance for the claiming of voice and self-definition, in the face of historical erasure and silencing of the Afro-Brazilian population. Poetry, consciously or not, expresses subjectivity, and often reveals aspects of this disregarded memory, constructing it from symbolic elements that unveil and complexify issues that involve our social imaginary. Diasporic writing and the aesthetics of Escrevivência, imbued by the remarkable aspect of the place from which one speaks and writes, traces paths from the past that flow into the current context, provoking and inciting movements of transformation. In this current flow that directs towards subjectivities of memory, this master’s thesis consists of investigating and analyzing the poem collection Poemas da recordação e outros movimentos (Poems of remembrance and other movements) (2017), by Conceição Evaristo, based on its expressive relation with symbology of water. For this, we propose, through a bibliographical research of an analytical-interpretative nature, to analyze the poems of the aforementioned literary work, based on books, articles and other sources by authors who discuss the symbolism of water, highlighting evidence of its connection with the construction of the idea of memory, as well as on the social issues related to them, from the perspective of decolonial studies in dialogue with literary criticism. The research developed focuses on the linguistic and aesthetic aspects that the author uses to construct images related to the memory of the black people from Brazil and the questions that it seeks to answer through this analysis is: to what extent is the symbolism of water used in the construction of the idea of memory presented in the literary work? And what linguistic and aesthetic resources does the author use to awaken this perception in us? By reading this and many other aspects addressed in the work, it is possible to observe the symbolism of water as recurrent in the construction of the idea of memory, of suffering, but also of hope and movement.
