Expressões do desejo lesbiano em contos de Natália Borges Polesso

Abstract

This project proposes a dissertation writing anchored in the relationship between contemporary literature and the representation of female same-sex affection. The aim is to reflect on the portrayal of lesbians in Brazilian literary universe, highlighting the power that aesthetic perspective holds in shaping a vision of these women. We will also seek to recognize the position that the stories "Minha prima está na cidade", “As tias”, "Flor, flores, ferro retorcido" , and "Marília acorda" by Natália Polesso assume regarding women's homosexuality, considering that the conception of it is socially and historically constructed
