NEVES, Simone Rodrigues. Writing to heal racial complex and memorialist narrative. Junguiana [online]. 2023, vol.41, n.1, pp.141-154.  Epub 29-Nov-2024. ISSN 2595-1297.  https://doi.org/10.70435/junguiana.v41i1.25.

This paper aims to reflect on a Jungian perspective, the contributions of memorialist narratives to the transformation of the racial complex. We emphasize that individual memory is intertwined with collective memory and we point out the traumatic impacts resulting from the annihilation of the memories of Afro-descendants as a result of colonialism throughout our history. Thus, the novel Alleys of Memory by the writer Conceição Evaristo was analyzed, considering the symbolic-archetypal dimension present in this work as well as aspects of the author's individuation process. Her literary work, based on what she has called escrevivência, is an example of how traumatic memories, carried by the power of complexes, when re-edited through writing, can trigger psychic transformations both in the individual and the collective.
