Uma escutadeira que conta: a memória como construtora de identidade e potencializadora da escrita em Meus Desacontecimentos, de Eliane Brum.

The objective of this article is to analyze how the autofiction in Eliane Brum's Meus Desacontecimentos becomes fundamental in the formation and affirmation of the author's identity as, first of all, a writer. In this way, we analyze the tendentious, precursory and libertarian role of writing in the narrator's memories and the importance of this to deal with our own history and overcome fears and traumas. In order to understand the role of recall within the identity process, we use the concepts already discussed by Paul Ricoeur (2007), Aleida Assmann (2011), Laura Reestrepo (2008), and others. Thus, it is understood that in the work under analysis, childhood is recreated just like a stage where life is staged and selects the cast of influence that wishes to reinforce, as well as stresses the leading role given to the act of writing in the past and gift.
