Resumo: The main goal of this dissertation is to start conversations - particularly about \'difference\', though not exclusively, since there is a series of themes that are called upon to introduce, articulate and illustrate the problematic of \"difference\" within the territory of identity discourse - such as postcolonialism, diaspora, feminism, and racism, among others. These themes are examined up close in order not only to reveal some of their interesting minutiae, which get often overlooked in the heat of public debates, but also to challenge normalised assumptions on how we perceive these themes and \'difference\' within them. I resort to the work of contemporary Nigerian author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie in order to articulate crucial points concerning difference and identity, as theorised by the Ugandan-British sociologist Avtar Brah, through the literary analysis of selected short stories from Adichie\'s collection The Thing Around Your Neck (2009). My goal with this dissertation is to raise relevant issues and/or perspectives on identity, bringing into light new reflections on the role of difference when it comes to identitary discourse, as well as helping to establish the body of knowledge under the umbrella of theory of difference.

Esses temas são examinados de perto a fim de não apenas relevar suas minúcias interessantes, que frequentemente se perdem no calor de debates públicos, mas também para contestar suposições normalizadas sobre como nós percebemos esses temas e a diferença inerente aos mesmos. Tendo como ponto de partida o trabalho da autora nigeriana contemporânea Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, é possível articular conceitos que dizem respeito à diferença e a identidades, em consonância com a teoria da socióloga Ugandense-Britânica Avtar Brah, através da análise literária de contos selecionados da coleção The Thing Around Your Neck (2009). Meu objetivo com esta dissertação é levantar questões e/ou perspectivas relevantes sobre identidade, trazendo à luz novas reflexões sobre o papel da diferença dentro do discurso identitário, assim como ajudar a estabelecer o corpo de conhecimento debaixo do guarda-chuva da teoria da diferença.Biblioteca Digitais de Teses e Dissertações da USPIzarra, Laura Patricia Zuntini deAraujo, Bruno 2022-12-19info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttps://www.teses.usp.br/teses/disponiveis/8/8147/tde-08032023-124949/reponame:Biblioteca Digital de Teses e Dissertações da USPinstname:Universidade de São Paulo (USP)instacron:USPLiberar o conteúdo para acesso público.info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccesseng2023-03-08T15:58:42Zoai:teses.usp.br:tde-08032023-124949Biblioteca Digital de Teses e Dissertaçõeshttp://www.teses.usp.br/PUBhttp://www.teses.usp.br/cgi-bin/mtd2br.plvirginia@if.usp.br|| atendimento@aguia.usp.br||virginia@if.usp.bropendoar:27212023-03-08T15:58:42Biblioteca Digital de Teses e Dissertações da USP - Universidade de São Paulo (USP)false
