Subalternidade e dissidência feminina em protagonistas de contos torguianos

Abstract

The aim of this Master’s Degree research which has as corpus the works Bichos (1996a) and Novos contos da montanha (1996b), written by Miguel Torga, it has analyzed the women characters in reason of the dissidence and the subalternity. In this way, this study deploys by the means of the observation of the behauvoir of the women-protagonists into the works of whom are questionated by the social imaginary from the stereotype of the angel woman and the monster woman, as it points out the studies by Lisboa (1990). That said, it was chosen a short story of each work to check the feminity contestations around these profiles which are inserted into the narratives “Madalena” and “O milagre”, both with female protagonists. Thereunto, we have demarcated the analysis from the studies by Lisboa (1990) in order to bring evidences of the woman representation in the male imaginary that, sometimes it reflects on subalternity, sometimes it reflects on dissidence. Meanwhile that, the text by Swain (1970) brings contributions in relation to procriation whose thematic is one of the causes of the female contestation. The analysis has been done utilizing the studies by Anido (1975); Bandeira (2019); Bíblia (2014); Bourdieu (2012); Cova and Pinto (1977); Chevalier and Gheerbrant (2020); Ferreira (2002); Fitzgibbon (2013); Foucault (1985); Lisboa (1997a, 1997b, 2000); Morais (2015); Saldanha (2015); and Spivak (2010).
