Abstract(s)
O principal objetivo deste artigo é analisar as protagonistas femininas do livro
“Crônicas do Mal de Amor”, da italiana Elena Ferrante, como exemplos que ilustram o
rompimento do imaginário comum sobre as mulheres, questionado com a sua “identidade
natural”. Elena escreve as suas personagens em conflito constante com os processos
discursivos dominantes que se concretizam pela repetição de atos performativos
socioculturais. Além de mostrar a relevância de uma literatura que problematiza a
subjetividade das mulheres numa atualidade em que o “ser-mulher” continua engessado
dentro de um senso comum, ou daquilo que Judith Butler chamou de “performatividade de
gênero”, tal trabalho visa a ilustrar de que modo a escrita de Ferrante dramatiza o “real” e
tenta subverter e conflituar a inteligibilidade do gênero “feminino” sobretudo pelos
conflitos ligados à maternidade e à noção do binarismo heteronormativo patriarcal
complementar que sustenta a superioridade masculina na esfera pública.
The main purpose of this article is to analyze the female protagonists of the book “Crônicas do Mal de Amor”, by Italian writer Elena Ferrante, as examples that illustrate the disruption of the common imagery of women that question their "natural identity." Ferrante writes her characters in constant conflict with the dominant discursive processes that are established by the repetition of socio-cultural performative acts. In addition, this paper wants to show the relevance of a literature that argues against the subjectivity of women in which being a woman still carries, in the collective imaginary what Judith Butler has refered to as "gender performativity". This work aims to illustrate how Ferrante’s writing dramatizes the "reality" and tries to subvert and put in conflict the female intelligibility, especially by conflicts related to motherhood and the need to love a man by the notion of complementary patriarchal binary that supports male superiority in the public sphere.
