A ditadura civil-militar de 1964 pelas lentes femininas: corpos e resistências em O pardal é um pássaro azul, de Heloneida Studart

Abstract

The military dictatorship of '64 caused traumas to the brazilian social sphere, being the focus of reflections in different areas of academic production, such as in studies in Literature. The purpose of the following research is to analyze the novel O pardal é um pássaro azul, by the writer Heloneida Studart, from the state of Ceará. Deepening the discussion, it becomes clear how the idea of the body related to the mentioned context unfolds in the novel, presenting, for this purpose, possible body modalities. Violence and resistance are other points that contribute to the development of the study. The circumstances in which these phenomena are intertwined in the narrative are observed. Different bodies are constituted in the novel and do not suffer the same violence, looking for other forms of resistance. For this reason, it is interpreted that the presence of these diverse bodies means a response to the invisibility brought by the dominant thought, complaining about spaces that were denied to them. With the development of the defined points, it is concluded that bodies and resistances are two elements that go through the entire reading path of the novel. To support the arguments elaborated, we seek the reflections raised by Regina Dalcastagnè, Jaime Ginzburg, Michel Foucault, Pierre Bourdieu, Judith Butler, James Green, Jacob Gorender and Lilia Schwarcz.
