Resumo
This study analyzes the short story Negrinha by Monteiro Lobato, focusing on racial representations within the Brazilian literary canon. Through a critical approach and using post-colonial theories, it examines how the author constructs and perpetuates power discourses through the main character. The methodology employed includes detailed textual analysis, historical contextualization, and a critical review of the work's reception over time. Furthermore, it is based on a qualitative and critical analysis of Negrinha, with an emphasis on the representation of Black characters and racist discourses present in the narrative. The detailed textual analysis will be conducted from a post-colonial and Foucauldian perspective, seeking to understand how the work reflects and perpetuates racial power structures.The results demonstrate that Negrinha reflects and reinforces racist stereotypes present in Brazilian society in the 19th century, as well as reveals the underlying power structures in the national literary canon. The study also discusses how certain authors are privileged in the literary canon to the detriment of others, contributing to the maintenance of power discourses. By addressing the concept of the literary canon and its criteria for inclusion, especially regarding the exclusion of racialized authors, the study questions the formation of this canon and its influence on the perpetuation of power structures.It is concluded that the story provokes necessary reflections on racial representations in Brazilian literature, highlighting the importance of a critical and sensitive debate about Monteiro Lobato's literary legacy and its contemporary implications. This study contributes to a broader understanding of racial dynamics in Brazilian culture and literature, encouraging a critical and reflective reading of literary works that compose the national canon.
