O AVESSO DO AVESSO: EXPRESSÕES E IMAGINÁRIO DO FEMININO

Abstract

This study has as a dialog the expressions: allegories and symbols, present in the works The yellow bag, by Lygia Bojunga and The weaver girl, from the discussion on the representation of the feminine gender and gender equality, in the imaginary, in Brazilian children's literature, From the perspective of Gilbert Durant, as a fundamental theoretician for the understanding of the imaginary. It also investigates whether contemporary children's literature has contributed to deconstructing the rooting of an adult and patriarchal culture. We also discuss the discursive relationship between verbal and visual in the construction of the imaginary. The methodology used, through both theoretical and fictional reading, is based on the aesthetic effect of Iser, highlighting points in similarities and differences of works, taking into account the historical process of literature and the transformations of both society and pedagogy.
