A opressão feminina dentro dos relacionamentos amorosos na literatura brasileira pela perspectiva da análise de discurso

Abstract

This paper aims to reflect about the meanings related to women in romantic discourses of Contemporary Brazilian Literature. For this, we develop our analyzes from the perspective of French Discourse Analysis (AD), since it gives us tools to go beyond what is in the surface of the text and get to what is the level of the unconscious and the symbolic. To our analysis we selected excerpts of fours works of Brazilian literature published in the twenty-first century and for further deepening of our object of study, we selected also works of other historical moments in order to build a joint text to our object of analysis. From our analysis, we realized that romantic discourses reveal male supremacy, woman-blaming and other forms of women's oppression and that while the discourse about loving relationships have changed over the years, the meanings about woman yet are the same as the dominant discourse, which says she must submit to man.
