We bring into question the concept of subaltern voice’s silencing, in hegemonic discourses, from the theoretical perspective of post-colonial studies and subaltern studies, with attention to the theories of Gayatri Spivak. In interpreting Becos da Memória narrative, from Conceição Evaristo (2013), we consider this book as parto f a context in which a subversive literature allow us to problematize the hegemonic literary-criticism sistem. This through a polyphonic narrative, in which there is the representation of subaltern and subversive tactics to tackle asymmetrical social relations, with a re-reading of the role of the hero and a reengendering of the metaphor/metonymy system. In a narrative that rearticulates literary genres stabilized like biography, novel, short story, and oral histories. Through the discussion of the consequences of the “desfavelamento” in the laceration of the social fabric and the social relations and through the challenge of subalternization by slumdwellers-subalterns-subproletarians-marginalized subjects, via resistance and subversion, Conceição Evaristo allow us to glimpse: the twilight of a Hero and the dawn of subversives
