Resumo
Este trabalho enfoca a mulher idosa nos contos “Feliz aniversário”, de Clarice Lispector; e “Ataviada pra festa” e “Doce de Teresa”, de Flávia Savary. As personagens desses textos são oprimidas e manipuladas por um grupo dominante. Por essa razão, esta dissertação pretende analisar como essas mulheres se comportam diante de tal dominação. Além disso, visa estudálas em relação à “zona selvagem”. Esta, de acordo com os antropólogos de Oxford, Shirley e Edwin Ardener, é um espaço onde as mulheres expressam o que lhes é reprimido pelo grupo dominante. Diante disso, a crítica feminista usa quatro enfoques sobre os textos produzidos por mulheres. São eles: o biológico, o lingüístico, o psicanalítico e o cultural. Este último será utilizado neste trabalho porque, segundo a crítica norte-americana Elaine Showalter, é mais completo, pois aborda questões sobre o corpo, a linguagem e a psique das mulheres e como isso é interpretado em relação ao contexto social em que tudo ocorre. Tal dissertação também é importante para os estudos da ginocrítica. Isso se deve ao fato de que a ginocrítica é caracterizada por ser um discurso crítico e especializado sobre os textos de mulheres. Além disso, serão abordadas as três fases que a literatura feminina apresenta, apontadas por Showalter: a fase feminina, feminista e mulher. De acordo com esses aspectos, o trabalho em questão tem o objetivo de enfocar um momento específico da mulher (a velhice) no qual os preconceitos e os problemas são mais intensos, além de mostrar o papel da mulher idosa nos textos produzidos por mulheres.
This study is about elderly women in the short stories “Feliz aniversário”, by Clarice Lispector; and “Doce de Teresa” and “Ataviada pra festa”, by Flávia Savary. The characters of these short stories are oppressed and manipulated by a dominant group. For that reason, this research intends to emphasize their response to the domination and it shows that these elderly women are related to the wilderness. According to the anthropologists of Oxford, Shirley and Edwin Ardener, wilderness is a space where women express what has been repressed by the dominant group. Due to this fact, the feminist criticism uses four models of difference about texts written by women. These four models are: biological, linguistic, psychoanalytic and cultural. Then, the last one is present in this work because, according to Elaine Showalter, it illustrates ideas about the body, language and psyche of woman which are interpreted in relation to the social context where they occur. Furthermore, this work is important to the gynocritical studies, too. It happens because the gynocriticism is a critical and specialized speech about women’s texts. Besides, this work will discuss the three phases that women’s literature presents. They are: feminine phase, feminist phase and female phase which will be used in this work. Based on these aspects, this work intends to portray a specific phase of women’s life (the old age) in which the prejudices and the problems are stronger and it also shows the elderly woman’s role in the texts written by women.
