Abstract

The present work aims to analyze the short stories Renascença by Cristiane Sobral and O return de Tatiana by Miriam Alves, seeking to highlight, within the context of African-based religions, the possibility of (re)birth of the black body and the reunion with ancestry, highlighting the relationship between identity, body and spirituality in his literary works. Furthermore, explore how the narratives of Miriam Alves and Cristiane Sobral represent the black body in connection with African ancestry and the practices of African-based religions. Also identify and discuss the literary elements used by the authors to address spirituality and the reunion with ancestral roots as forms of resistance and affirmation of black identity. We also address Exu’s dynamics of reorganization of chaos, correlated to the stories analyzed here. And, finally, Investigate how the black body is given new meaning in works, both in terms of overcoming experiences of oppression, through tradition in religious traditions of African origin.
