In this paper, I aim at discussing how post-dictatorial narratives written by women reveal gender persecutions and problematize present and past human rights violations in Brazil. In order to do so, my analysis focuses on the literature of Adriana Lisboa, Azul Corvo (2014), and Maria Pilla, Volto semana que vem (2015). To approach such issues, I take into account a set of studies, from which I highlight the works of Elizabeth Jelin (2002), Eurídice Figueiredo (2017) and Lilia Schwarcz (2019). From the relationship between literature, memory and history, we can learn more about the horrors that women underwent in dictatorial contexts, from the repressive logic that considered gender in verbal and physical violence, for example, when detaining, torturing and murdering not only militants, but also ordinary civilians, to institutional harassment of relatives and friends. Keywords: Woman and dictatorship. Contemporary Brazilian literature. Adriana Lisboa. Maria Pilla.

This paper proposes to discuss the subversion of motherhood in the book O Muro de Pedras, by Elisa Lispector, published in 1963. In this novel, through the protagonist Marta, the author problematizes the female condition and motherhood, presenting a woman who demonstrates feeling a great existential emptiness and a certain unbelief in life that can be perceived through the feeling of sadness and loneliness present in the narrative, which drags it towards a possible feeling of misfit before the world. For this investigation, we will resort to some reflections present in Literary Criticism that analyze the values ​​of motherhood as in Elisabeth Badinter, which broadens the debate about the role of women in raising children, demystifying the conventions created in society. We also investigated theories that discuss the female condition and the representation of women in contemporary times, such as the case of Nádia Batella Gotlib and Mary Del Priore, among other themes that will assist in the analysis of the object investigated here. With that, we reinserted Elisa Lispector in the Brazilian literary scene, aiming at a resignificant look about her writing. KEYWORDS: Female. Maternity. Elisa Lispector.

This work seeks to articulate the studies of referencing and rhetorical argumentation with current approaches to context in Textual Linguistics. The objective is to analyze the construction of the discursive ethos (AMOSSY, 2018) of the LGBT activist from Aracaju/SE in the context of their political-identity practices. Based on the observational method (PRODANOV; FREITAS, 2013) and a qualitative and descriptive-interpretative methodology (GIL, 2002; CAVALCANTE et al, 2016), the analyzed and transcribed corpus was constituted through open interviews, focusing on the agenda of the fight against LGBTphobia. Thus, from a socio-cognitive and rethorical-discursive perspective of language and the assimilationist approach (SEFFNER, 2011) about the LGBT community, the article justifies why the theoretical-methodological dialogues and the political engagement of the researcher are productive for the improvement of contemporary text studies. KEYWORDS: LGBT activism. Context. Argumentation. Referencing. Ethos.

This article aims to propose a model of literary texts reading, based on the idea that they present epistemological potentialities, understood as teachable dimensions. These dimensions correspond to contents consolidated on the esthetic of the literary work of art and that are susceptible of being taught in pedagogically oriented situations by a reading mediator. Therefore, in addition to stablishing categories as macro and micro dimensions of content and proposing a model of a reading class with thematic basis, which starts from the immanent reading to identification and posterior reflection of literary phenomenon’s epistemic nature, we approached considerations of Schneuwly (2004) and Schneuwly & Dolz (2010) on genres and Cosson (2014) about literary literacy. We conclude that, considering the text as a producer of knowledge, we design the discursive literary genres as teaching units to be explored in their macro and micro dimensions. KEYWORDS: Analysis. Reading. Models. Literary texts.

Nosso objetivo neste artigo é analisar o tratamento conferido às temáticas mais recorrentes no romance contemporâneo de autoria feminina. O corpus que serviu de base à análise foi constituído por 151 romances escritos por mulheres e publicados pelas editoras brasileiras Rocco, Record e Companhia das Letras, entre os anos 2000 e 2015. A metodologia compreendeu o reconhecimento, a problematização e a interpretação das constantes temáticas que nutrem essa produção. O aporte teórico pressupõe uma perspectiva multidisciplinar que aborda o texto literário em suas interseções com o contexto sociocultural em que emerge e com teorias nascidas para pensar o mundo contemporâneo e suas manifestações artísticas, com ênfase na teoria crítica feminista. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Autoria feminina. Romance contemporâneo. Temáticas. Subversões feministas.

O artigo trata da recepção de “Felicidade clandestina”, de Clarice Lispector, considerando certas representações dos leitores especializados (professores e alunos de Letras, por exemplo) em diferentes épocas e circunstâncias que vêm sendo confrontadas pelos novos leitores (alunos da educação básica). As observações foram colhidas nas atividades docentes na Universidade de São Paulo, e o referencial teórico, além da fortuna crítica relativa ao conto, é composto pelos autores que tratam da Estética da Recepção, especialmente, Hans Robert Jauss e Wolfgang Iser, ao mesmo tempo em que se adota parte da interpretação do conto feita por Y. Rosenbaum (2006). PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Recepção Estética. Leitora Ideal. Clarice Lispector. Felicidade Clandestina.

In this work, we will observe how the work Memorial do Convento (1982), by José Saramago, develops a reflection on Portuguese culture through mirror games between texts, imaginary, symbols and times. Using counterpoint processes, chiaroscuro and sfumato, Saramago memorializes past and present, utopia and dystopia, diverse social spaces (court, clergy and people), reality and visionary, reality and fiction, Romanticism and actuality, life and death ... KEYWORDS: Memorial do Convento. Utopia. Dystopia. Social spaces.

The literature education can be traced in texts that go back to Antiquity but it is only from the second half of the 20th century onwards that it does receive greater attention from scholars and a space for reflection at the confluence of the areas of Education and Letters. In these first two decades of the 21st century, this space has expanded and already seems to indicate a specific field of study. This development has led to an often and polysemic use of the terms literature education, literary reading and literary literacy as synonyms or, at least, interchangeable. In this study, we propose a disambiguation between these three terms and a discussion about their conceptual limits through a critical-bibliographic reflection. KEYWORDS: Literature education. Literary reading. Literary literacy. Disambiguation.

In the scope of our participation, we intend, in a diachronic perspective, to analyze some poems by three Portuguese writers - Judith Teixeira (1880-1958), Florbela Espanca (1894-1930) and Maria Teresa Horta (1937-). Our choice falls on the three women poets, either because of the role they assumed in Portuguese society, or because of the themes that emerge from their poetry, exalting the body and, through it, freedom of expression and the female voice. Thus, in an intertextual dialogue with two voices, we propose to (re) visit poems by the authors in question that best illustrate the theme under analysis. KEYWORDS: Poetry. Body. Transgression. Judith Teixeira. Florbela Espanca. Maria Teresa Horta.

Em Júbilo, Memória, Noviciado da paixão, Hilda Hilst provoca uma atmosfera poética caracterizada pela própria experiência poética, situando a figura do poeta na gestação da palavra, no êxtase da imaginação, numa constante espera de um outro, do encontro, mas que se alimenta mais da expectativa do que da presença física do ser amado. Nesse sentido, a relação estabelecida entre a poeta e o homem pode ser aproximada à relação da poesia com a divindade. A última parte da obra, intitulada “Poemas aos homens do nosso tempo”, possibilita considerações sobre a sobrevivência da poesia num mundo mutilado pela necessidade de riqueza e poder. Pretendemos, então, tematizar essa oposição. Para tais discussões, traremos considerações de Staiger (1997), Bosi (2000), Pécora (2001), dentre outros. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Hilda Hilst. Poesia. Júbilo. Sagração.

This text demarcaes the space of experience of a reading observatory for basic education, composed of students of the Course of Letters who are in the process of initial formation for teaching. The actors involved in the experiment participated in the Curriculum and Reception Curriculum Component between October 2019 and February 2020. It was used as a technique to collect the wheels of conversations (recorded), the didactic series of reading and the production of reports and reading journals. This collected material was analyzed in the light of the Reception Method (ROUXEL), the production of subjectivity (CANDAU, ECO, BARTHES) of the concept of Memory (RICOEUR, MANGUEL) and then we could come to understand what emancipatory literary education (COSSON, GOMES).

In a letter and in the poems The Shampoo and Song for the Rainy Season, Elizabeth Bishop (2006, 2011, and 2012) represents Key West, Florida, and her house in Petrópolis, Rio de Janeiro, depicting them as zones of greater acceptance for her subjectivity and sexuality. In these texts, the poet reveals an eroticized dynamic with the idea of place, dynamized by the burying of her intimacy under apparently neutral descriptions of reality. This dynamic points to a libidinal urge between the hint of a secret and, at the same time, the maintenance of its secrecy. Owner of a poetics of the closet (SEDGWICK, 2007), Bishop, a lesbian woman, in these texts, points to intimate experiences, marked by jouissance (BATAILLE, 1987), by an erotic bond with place. In this essay, I discuss this dynamic, highlighting expressions of veiled jouissance, hidden underneath descriptions of the immediate space, which take place in spite of oppression, gender hostility and prejudice (LUGONES, 2019). KEYWORDS: Elizabeth Bishop. Representations of Intimacy. Eroticism. Closet. Jouissance.

Com o objetivo de iluminar a obra da jovem poeta cearense Sara Síntique, autora dos livros Corpo Nulo (2015) e Água ou Testamento Lírico a Dias Escassos (2019), apropriamo-nos da perspectiva fenomenológica de Gaston Bachelard sobre as propriedades poéticas da água (1942), assim como das reflexões que Maurice Blanchot (1959) delineia a partir de uma genealogia da linguagem poética nula. Ressaltamos em nossa leitura o apreço simbólico da autora por imagens e reflexos que irmanam a palavra poética ao corpo feminino, destacando o caráter metalinguístico de sua produção, autocentrada em uma busca primeira pela neutralidade da linguagem. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Poesia Brasileira Contemporânea. Autoria Feminina. Literatura e Filosofia. Fenomenologia da Água. Sara Síntique.

This research seeks to debate critically about the mismatch between research, teaching and teacher training, towards the development of reading autonomy in Basic Education students of the State of Bahia (VARGENS, 2017). It is questioned about the tradition around the concept reading incentive, conceiving it as a misunderstanding of origin, which historically prevents discussion about the explicit development of reading skills at school, through the intermediation of the teacher. In addition, the very training of a subjective and expressive reader (ROUXEL, 2012), is compromised to the extent that reading autonomy is not developed or promoted through explicit teaching of the skills necessary to achieve this autonomy. The need for an integrated policy to promote reading in Bahia is also questioned. The State, although it has taken significant steps in curricular terms (BAHIA, 2013), still leaves the gap of a proposition that aims to articulate research, teaching and teacher training projects focused on reading. It is also questioned the lack of a policy in the state of Bahia, which aims to articulate research, teaching and teacher training projects aimed at teaching reading. It is intended to bring to the discussion the role of all institutional actors involved in the production of knowledge and their role in contributing to the solution of this secular failure in teaching reading, which, as a consequence, affects all Brazilian students at all ages and grades schoolchildren, mainly in the Northeastern states, as indicated by studies that will be reported here (MEC, 2018).

The horror tale genre has enunciative regularities that can be understood in the light of fantastic literature To analyze tales of terror we recognize the dynamics of the fantastic that promotes the tension to explain and interpret the events of the plot under the logic of the extraordinary or the supernatural. For Todorov (1980), the tale of terror aims to promote the effect of hesitation in the reader in the face of facts presented by the author. Therefore, we studied the way of formulating tales of terror in order to understand the challenges that this type of text poses to the reader from the linguistic-discursive point of view, considering the reflections of literary studies. KEYWORDS: Horror tale genre. Fantastic literature. Reader hesitation.

The present article gives a look at the novel Quarenta Dias (2014), by Maria Valéria Rezende, in which the writing is used as a way of self release and identities construction. It deals with a descriptive-bibliographic research based on theorists like: Bordieu (1989), Mary Del Priori (2004), Michelle Perrot (2012), Regina Zilberman e Mariza Lajolo, among others. Without symbolic capital, women could not tell their own history. However, by the moment they mastered the writing, they started their process of personal identity and social release.

This paper intends to discuss the issues related to the silence and silencing of the identities belonging to non-hegemonic social groups in order to understand the competence of subversion that the literary word can achieve regarding to maintenance or reversion of the stereotypes connected to these identities. Thus, we will start from the reading of the short story by Conceição Evaristo “Macabéa, flor de Mulungu” and from the novel by Clarice Lispector “A Hora da Estrela” to enhance what we call poetics of silence, sometimes as denial, in the processes of silencing, sometimes as transgression, in a gesture of denouncement.

In several of Clarice’s short stories, the basic plot structure revolves around the meeting of the protagonist, generally a middle-class woman, with an “other” that provokes a feeling of estrangement. Often, that “other” is an animal. This unexpected meeting makes the character question their life. In this paper, we will present a reading of the short story “Uma tarde plena” (“A plentiful afternoon”), which originates from a text published on the column “Entre mulheres” (Among women), written by the author under the guise of Tereza Quadros for the publication Comício (Rally) in 1952. We intend to evaluate how the presence of a marmoset on the public transport rattles, although momentarily, the protagonist’s domesticated life; we also seek to identify traits relating to the patriarchal society in the narrative and in the woman’s behaviour.
