Abstract in Portuguese
Esta pesquisa tem como objetivo estudar a memória coletiva que se consolida em torno da figura da mãe-preta. Para a realização dessa empreitada, tomei como objeto de estudo as representações literárias da mãe-preta no período de 1880 a 1950. É nesse intervalo de tempo que se estabiliza uma interpretação mais alentada sobre a escravidão. Nessa medida, as representações da mãe-preta são tomadas como vias de acesso a interpretações paradoxais sobre a escravidão brasileira e seu legado. Tenho como hipótese que, se essa instituição violenta e arbitrária não podia ser esquecida; ela, ao menos, poderia ser lembrada em sua faceta mais íntima, afetiva e "produtora de uma cultura mestiça". Contudo, ainda assim, afeto e intimidade parecem não conseguir romper com a diferença e a hierarquia social: é justamente nessa tensão que se constroem representações ambíguas da mãe-preta na literatura brasileira.

Abstract in English
The main purpose of this research is to study the collective memory formed around the figure of "mãe-preta" (Black-Mom). For this purpose, I have taken as object of study the literary representations of "mãe-preta" (black-mom) between 1880 and 1950. This is the main period in which an interpretation of slavery was established. Therefore, the representations of "mãe-preta" (black-mom) are a way of having access to the paradoxical interpretations of Brazilian slavery and its legacy. My hypothesis is that, although this violent and arbitrary institution could not be forgotten, it could at least be remembered in its more intimate and affective ways or as a "producer of a mixed culture". Nevertheless, it seems that intimacy and affection are not capable of breaking up with social difference and hierarchy. Ambiguous representations of "mãe-preta"? (black-mom) in Brazilian literature are built exactly on this tension.
