Summary: | In this dissertation, we intend to analyze the way in which the representation of lesbian women, in a selection of short stories from the book Amora, by author Natália Borges Polesso (2015), proposes a panorama to think about the diversity of experiences and possibilities of existence of lesbian characters. In this aspect, some of the issues contained in this representation will gain prominence, such as the closet, prejudice, resistance and homoeroticism. The literary object, then, is the representation of these subjectivities of the characters in a delimited corpus, as the aim is to study the short stories “Flor, flores, ferro retorcido”; “Minha prima está na cidade”; “As tias”; “Vó, a senhora é lésbica?”; “Como te extraño, Clara”; “Amora”; “Umas pernas grossas”; “Marília, acorda”; e “Tia Marga”. Thus, the representative aspects will be analyzed from the cultural and literary studies cited below: “compulsory heterosexuality”, by Adrienne Rich (2012); “friendship as a way of life”, by Foucault (1981); “the epistemology of the closet”, by Eve Sedgwick (2007); “the idea of denaturalizing compulsory heterosexuality to build the lesbian continuum” and by Tânia Navarro Swain (2010). |
