- Abstract
In A Noite das Mulheres Cantoras (2011), Lídia Jorge presents an interesting reflection on the perverse intrigues of the world of show business and of fame obtained at any price. This reflection is framed within a narrative macrostructure that problematizes the organization of post-colonial Portuguese society—a society that became the recipient “the human remains" of an empire that endured several centuries. Conjoining aspects of the post-colonial critic and trauma and memory studies, this essay analyzes the course of loss of innocence of Solange Matos (the narrator and main character) in A Noite das Mulheres Cantoras, exploring that sorts out the trauma of the colonial experience is interlaced with the memoirs and the affections, ending for interfering in the construction of the individual identity.
