RESUMO:

African Literature with its revisionary potential has to proportionate the opening spaces where heterogeneous configuration from the African countries lays the foundations to the critical reflection. The literature of margin emerges from the deconstruction from the silenced underlings subjects across a movement that emphasizes the subjective specificity while intensifies the deconstruction promoted by the artistic production from outskirts. Finding in this context the literary creation from the African women, we observed the inquiries to the oppressive devices, through the writing which assemble ancestral tradition and colonial legacy in-between places on the basis of cultural negotiations. In this scenery we go back to the female voices articulated by the literary text of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. From a markedly feminist place, this young Nigerian writer comes out the critics to the secondary place of the female subject in literature by means of a discourse that contests the oppressive condition imposed on women by the homogeneous male power. Towards the Nigerian woman multiplicity, in our textual tissue, we present an analysis from short stories collection The Thing around your neck (2012), looking to the problematic that concern on the characters, considering the historical and cultural situation revealed by the female voices on a try to play the lead role their own destiny. In this point of view, we inquire about the gender roles and the intersectional elements – like race, level and instances of culture - and its influence over the expectations formed around the gender questions. As a basis from our considerations, we went through the literary theories of feminist nature according to reflections from Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak (2014), Angela Y. Davis (1983, 2009), Judith Butler (2015) and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie (2015)  in relation to their way of thinking about culture, joining political awareness to aesthetic work.
