Narradoras excêntricas em Uma Duas: a escrita como subsídio à construção da subjetividade feminina no romance de Eliane Brum

 
 

Abstract


Starting from a historical contextualization about the relationship that women had with writing, this article reflects about the emergence of the female narrative voice in the novel One Two, written by the brazilian journalist Eliane Brum and published in 2011. This novel presents a conflicting relationship between mother and daughter due to traumas experienced in the past, they reveal those traumas as they tell the story as co-narrators of pain, lacerations and wounds never healed. In the face of their decentralization from the social place as women marked by traumas and abuses, the writing of their memories has a cathartic effect, whereby they can construct their subjectivity. The theoretical contributions from cultural studies and feminist critics, especially Showalter (1994), Muzart (1985), Zolin (2009a, 2009b), Touraine (2011), Dalcastagne (2012) and Woolf (2014), will support our reflections.
