UMA VOZ DE IMBONDEIRO NO SILÊNCIO DA GRAVANA: A REPRESENTAÇÃO DA MULHER NA POESIA DE ALDA ESPÍRITO SANTO E CONCEIÇÃO LIMA

Abstract

ALDA ESPÍRITO SANTO AND CONCEIÇÃO LIMA ARE TWO POETS FROM SÃO TOMÉ E PRÍNCIPE. ALTHOUGH BELONGING TO DIFFERENT GENERATIONS, THEY ARE THE ONES WHO BEST REPRESENT THE SÃO-TOMENSE LITERATURE OF FEMININE AUTHORSHIP. THEIR WORKS COME CLOSELY BOTH BY THEMATIC APPROACH AND BY THE SEARCH PROJECT FOR A FEMININE IDENTITY. IN THIS PAPER, BASED ON TWO POEMS THAT DIALOG WITH EACH OTHER — “AS MULHERES DE MINHA TERRA”, BY ALDA ESPÍRITO SANTO, AND “GRAVANA”, BY CONCEIÇÃO LIMA —, WE INTEND TO ANALYZE IN WHAT WAY THE WOMAN, HOLDER OF AN APPARENTLY SILENT VOICE AND MARKED BY THE DAILY ROUTINE, CAN ENROLL IN THE SOCIAL SPACE BY CHANGING IT AT THE SAME TIME.
