Dissertação (Mestrado em Estudos da Linguagem) - Universidade Federal de Goiás, Catalão, 2017.http://repositorio.ufcat.edu.br/tede/handle/tede/8103The present work presents a study about the novel The Blind Spot, by the Rio Grande do Sul writer Lya Luft, published in 1999. Our interest in this work, based on gender studies, is to investigate some themes that are recurrent in this narrative. From an approach made on the themes of gender, maternity, childhood and old age, we come to other issues that are crucial in our analyzes, such as: death, male domination, submission, inferiority, and the silencing of the female figure under the view of an oppressive regime, the subalternity of the child and madness, which are subsumed around gender issues. In this way, resulting from the configurations of the female body and the investiture of gender, the first three themes, previously mentioned, instigate us to ascertain the discourses and the symbolic representations present in said narrative. It is also in our interest to emphasize the narrator's perspective as one of the central characters of the fictional plot. Our proposal is linked to an interpretive bias, in which we try to verify which social places the characters occupy throughout the plot and if social values interfere in that position. Thus, in order to achieve this proposal and because the chosen corpus was a novel written by a woman, we first dedicated to making an explanation about the participation of women in the literary field, highlighting some factors that influenced the process of insertion of the same in the canon, and emphasizing the importance of the literary framework of Lya Luft in the scenario Rio Grande and Brazilian Literature. Subsequently, we present the theoretical field from which the research is based, and finally, we give space to the analyzes made from the chosen corpus, trying to understand how to build the place of belonging of the characters within the family environment. Astheoretical contributions that support our analyzes and discussions we have scholars such as Philippe Ariès (1981), Elizabeth Badinter (1985), Gayle Rubin (1993), Joan Scott (1995), Mary Del Priore (1997), Pierre Bourdieu , Silvia Carrijo (2013), Vania Vasconcelos (2007), Cristina Stevens (2007), Adriana Piscitelli (2009), Simone de Beauvoir (2009), Judith Butler (2010) (2017), Luciana Borges (2013), Silvana Carrijo 2015), among others.application/pdfAcesso AbertoGêneroMulheresMaternidadeInfânciaGenreWomenMaternityChildhoodLETRAS::LITERATURA BRASILEIRADissertação
