Desconstruindo paradigmas em: “vó, a senhora é lésbica?”

Abstract

The objective of the research is to carry out a critical reading through a feminist and lesbian approach to the short story: “Vó, a senhora é lésbica?”. The methodology to be used is based on gender studies, feminist criticism and sexualities, with sexual orientation as the guide for the analysis of the characters in the selected corpus. The hypothesis is that in the narrative in question, there are elements of heteronormativity, which seems to put the lesbian woman in a position of discomfort. The research methodology contemplates a dialogue between gender and sexuality studies, with the proposed corpus, tracing primordial elements such as: the characteristics of the characters hand in hand with the Anglo-American feminist criticism, gender and sexuality studies, from their interpretative practices, to the implications of cultural and intersubjective experiences of real readers and / or authors in the discourses of representation.
