RESUMO:

African Literature, in its unsubmissive poeticity, has proportionate the opening spaces where heterogeneous configuration from the African countries lays the foundations for the critical reflection about the role of literature in contemporary world. Literature written by women emerges from unlearnings of silenced subalterns subjects, across a movement that stands out subjective specificity, awhile intensifies deconstruction promoted by peripheral artistic production. Located in this context, literary creation of African women, is evident the questions around oppressive devices before writing that meets ancestral tradition and colonial heritage into the maze of negotiations of cultural foundations. In between a new world order, which human rights are oppressed every day, silenced, we return to female voice articulated by the literary text of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. In a territory marked by violence and male chauvinism, the young Nigerian writer emphasizes an incisive criticism to the subalternity of female subject in literature. By means of a speech that translates aspects of American and Nigerian culture, Adichie answers the oppressive condition imposed to woman by the hegemonic male power. By virtue of observed multiplicity on Nigerian woman description, in poetic embedded in synesthesia, presents an analysis of a collection of short stories The thing around your neck (2012), approaching problematics focused on the characters. It is considered for that a cultural and historical conjuncture which reveals in its form of telling the women’s urge to protagonize a historic destiny of silencing. In this perspective, it was inquired about gender roles and the intersectional elements – such as race, class, discourse, power, cultural instances – that translate a trans-semiotic dialogue with gender issues. While working with unfinished cultural concepts, it is verified that transgression of oppressive places reserved to Nigerian woman are minimal.  It was also verified how a critical awareness formation that permits a review of the situation of violence and exclusion of woman is still a great challenge in the beginning of XXI century.  As a basis of our considerations, we follow the paths of feminist literary theories according to reflections of Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak (2014), Angela Y. Davis (2016) and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie (2015), the latest, as far as her thinking about culture, uniting political consciousness to aesthetic work.
