Abstract

Aline Motta’s A água é uma máquina do tempo (2022) and Renato Negrão’s Odisseia Vácuo (2017), recent relevant works within what Florência Garramuño (2014) calls literature in the expanded field, present a series of interesting parallels, which also extend to the video versions of both works. Composed of heterogeneous and appropriated materials, Motta and Negrão’s works adopt distinct textual strategies that, nevertheless, converge insofar as they seem to address elements of the historiographical operation described by Michel de Certeau (1982). We also argue that both works can be read from the perspective of the interdiction of memory within what Paul Gilroy (2001) calls the Black Atlantic.
