SUMMARY:

In the Brazilian novels “As mulheres de Tijucopapo” (1982), by Marilene Felinto, and “Um
defeito de cor” (2006), by Ana Maria Gonçalves, the trajectories of the protagonists Rísia and
Kehinde are traced, respectively. Their narrative voices emerge in constant dialogue with
experiences of loss, uprooting, and resistance. This research aims to analyze the multiple
displacements that structure the lives of these characters, understood not only as geographical
movements but above all as existential and bodily processes marked by historical violence
and the continuous attempt at identity reinscription. Our analysis is based, among other
authors, on Hall (2019), for whom identity constitutes a permanent process of identification,
historically constructed and shaped by difference, in order to understand how both
protagonists develop their subjectivities through successive affective, familial, and social
fractures. The reflections of Fanon (1952/2020) and Kilomba (2019) make it possible to
examine the effects of racialization on the formation of these subjectivities. In dialogue with
Esposito (2016), the body is understood as a space where the categories of person and thing
are in tension, simultaneously revealing itself as a place where violence and resistance are
inscribed. The displacements are analyzed in light of Borges Filho (2008), through the notion
of border space as a paradoxical territory of separation and passage, as well as from Tuan's
(1983) perspective, for whom spaciousness is associated with freedom and the power to
move. Finally, the metaphor of the boatman proposed by Bernd (2002) allows understanding
Rísia's and Kehinde's trajectories as continuous crossings carried out in an in-between place,
where identity and belonging remain in constant negotiation. From this analysis, it is
observed that the protagonists go beyond compulsory displacements and turn mobility into a
practice of agency, rewriting their bodies, voices, and lives into new forms of belonging and,
in this way, projecting a new future.
