Brazilian Literature. Space. Feminine gender.Abstract
This study aims to contribute to the analysis of gender in the works of two of the most relevant authors in twentieth-century Brazilian literature, Graciliano Ramos and João Guimarães Rosa. Employing the theory of space, I unpack the gender ideology that underlies São Bernardo and Buriti. My essay also seeks to verify the occurrence of dissonances in the treatment of female characters in both authors. Ultimately I offer a reassessment of the construction of femininity in the works—a construction which is in no way independent of the views that each author had of the society of his time.Downloads
