Remembering Marielle Franco from a Theological Perspective
This study discusses selected memories of Marielle Franco from the perspective of the concept of dangerous memory (Johann Baptist Metz).
Franco was a Brazilian human-rights activist and city councilor of Rio de
Janeiro who was assassinated on March 14, 2018. Today she is considered
an international symbol in the fight for human, women, and LGBTQ+
rights. This work aims to show what meanings people in her surroundings
attributed to her life and how they have transformed following her murder. It argues that the memory of Franco transmitted by people who
closely interacted with her represents a decolonial dangerous memory of
individual and collective self-empowerment of Black women, LGBTQ+
people, and favelados
