Abstract
This article aims to analyze the contribution of contemporary female writing to the scope of literature on the Brazilian military dictatorship. Through a brief analysis of Antes do passado: o silêncio que vem do Araguaia (2012) by Liliane Haag Brum, Rio-Paris-Rio (2016) by Luciana Hidalgo, and Outros cantos (2016) by Maria Valéria Rezende, different aspects of contemporary Brazilian literature are discussed in their distinctive ways of representing the dictatorial period. Despite such diversity of styles, the spatio-temporal displacements in the narrative composition are appointed as a point of convergence between the three publications, and their relationship with the (female) narrative perspectives and their understanding of the historical and social contexts in question.
