Notes on female representation in literature (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798797566922)

The book highlights three views on female representation in literature: in Greek tragedies, through Clytemnestra (Agamemnon, by Aeschylus), and in Amazonian literature, through Mariana (Chuva Branca, by Paulo Jacob) and Mitsi (Coronel de Barranco, by Cláudio de Araújo Lima). The first note seeks to show how the Greek woman is portrayed in the discourse of male characters in Aeschylus' tragedy, putting in motion concepts such as the patria potestas discussed in the writings of Locke, Foucault, Hegel and Aristotle and trying to understand how this cosmovision is related to the Greek man of the time. The two other notes sought to demonstrate how women have been represented in novels of Amazonian expression.
