O arquivo da escravid o em narrativas orais de uma mulher n o-alfabetizada: práticas letradas e ideologia / The slavery archive in a non-literate woman′s oral narratives: literacy practices and ideology

The skills that should be acquired for the subject to be fully literate are determined by the logic of capital and guaranteed by means of formal education. The concept of literacy points to the fact that there are different degrees or levels of literacy, which correspond to many other discursive formations that circulate in a given social formation. The socio-historical concept of literacy does not exclude the illiterate, thus rejecting the theories of the great divide, do not put writing in a privileged position in relation to the uses of oral language. The proposal is to observe, for example, the evidences of authorship, the subject's attempt to structure his speech so as to produce genuine texts, whether they are produced in writing or orally. The oral narratives of a black non-literate female will be discussed below and are examples of oral discourse in which the authorship is clear. There is also a valuable corpus for understanding the operation of the discourse, the file on the slavery that is reframed allowing the establishment of subjectivity. The analysis will focus on clippings that show signs of meanings linked to slavery. Because they are oral, the presence of these narratives authored an argument contrary to the radical separation between oral and written discourse, and show how slavery is re-signified by a non-literate subject, but affected by the dominant scriptural ideology.
