NAJAT EL HACHMI – DISCURSO DE RESISTÊNCIA E IDENTIDADE NO CONTEXTO DA MIGRAÇÃO

Abstract

The following paper aims to analyze the novel La hija extranjera (2015), written by Najat El Hachmi, in order to verify the identity construction using the migration narrative of women in migration contexts. Furthermore, the study emphasizes the discourse of resistance, present in El Hachmi’s work, and the claim for a identity construction focusing her own voice and her own existence as a autonomous subject. As theoretical base of this discussion, this paper relies on a discourse analysis’s perspective (Charaudeau 2009), with a focus on social and discursive identity. The analysis reveals the work of El Hachmi as a important manifestation of resistance. Questioning the imaginaries of women in migration contexts, the author puts on the map how urgent it is to analyze and to discuss identity constructions in migration contexts in a more plural perspective, taking the voice of people in migration into account.
