Abstract

In this paper we read Ana Luísa Amaral's literary work Ara in the light of queer theory, which applies to the question of gender entities that emerged from the work done by the gay and lesbians studies and that can not be dissociated from feminist theory, since both emerged from reflections on the difficulty minority groups face to have a voice and representation in the context of a phallogocentric language and society.
