A mulher e suas representações em Divã de Martha Medeiros

Abstract

Arguing through a theoretical-conceptual approach to the representation of the modern woman presented in the writer Martha Medeiros contemporary literature in his book Divan, to understand the representation of women in society. And for that, we will analyze the literary work and its film adaptation, as well as its relationship with the discourses that are used. The research will extend in an analysis of the cultural identity and the relationship between history and the representation of the contemporary woman. For that permeate the research theorists like Hall, who introduces us to cultural identity, Foucault shows us the history of sexuality, and Ponty gives us a comprehensive view about the film, and so allow us to provide the link between cultural identity and the representation of women in history and like them, the other will serve as theoretical basis for this monograph. Thus seek an analysis and extensive research on the representation of women through discourse and understand the evolution of cinema and the demystification of vision imposed by cultural history of women's role in society or in an individual, and so we seek the representation of women in history and how these women are also represented in the literature.
