“NÃO SOU ‘SHERLOCK’ DA HISTÓRIA POLÍTICA DO BRASIL, MAS SOU TESTEMUNHA DOS ACONTECIMENTOS”:

memória e escrita autobiográfica na obra de Nair de Teffé

Abstract

Drawing on interdisciplinary innovations across various fields of historiography, biographies and autobiographies have once again become central subjects in historical research. Combining this perspective with reflections on women's writing practices, the purpose of this article is to present possible analyses of the work A Verdade sobre a Revolução de 22 (1974) written by Nair de Teffé. Through the presentation of the character, the diverse contextualization of her memories, and the conditions that enabled her to write them, autobiographical elements in her book are highlighted, observing the silences, narrative choices, and the reasons behind her production. In dialogue with approaches that explore the relationships between the public and private spheres, the writing of oneself, and the construction of a self-representation through it, the article presents analyses of both internal and external elements of the work and their potential contributions to research.
