Title: AUTONOMIA E SUBJETIVIDADE DA MULHER NEGRA: UM ESTUDO EM THE HANGMAN’S GAME
Abstract: It is considered the subjectivity of black women by analyzing the character Auntie Lou of the novel The Hangman's Game (2007 - Karen King-Aribisala). It is proposed to verify the construction of the autonomy of the character-slave from her familiarity with the dominant white society of Demerara (Guyana) in 1823, based on passages from the novel associated to investigative theories of subjectivity and feminism (Ashcroft, Bhabha, Rice Young, among others). Confronting the junction between feminism and subjectivity we may possibly conclude the black female identity as a metonymy of black power in a colonized society.
