As mulheres da ditadura representadas em Cova 312

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: This research investigates the way in which Brazilian literary journalism represent women, especially considering the issue of violence. For this, a critical reading of the book-reports in the Jabuti Award is presented. After attesting to the small number of female authors and the lack of representation of violence of this group, an analysis of Cova 312, by journalist Daniela Arbex, is developed. Despite focusing on the representation of the Brazilian military dictatorship and exposing a male protagonist, the book-report emphasizes women who belonged to that context, showing the most different possibilities of struggle and confrontation the female figure experienced in that context.
