A representação da família em Lygia Bojunga

Abstract

Throughout the stories, it is possible to perceive that the concept of family has undergone significant changes, thus showing an infinitude of new family arrangements that escape from the patriarchal pattern, therefore, due to its importance, the theme is recurrent in literary writings. The present work seeks to analyze how families are represented in the work of the writer Lygia Bojunga, having as corpus the narratives of A cama, Sapato de salto and the short story "Tchau". Àries (2012) Bachelard (1978), Xavier (1998), among others, investigates the phenomenons that influenced the changes related to Family models and the way Bojunga’s fiction represents them. To comprehend how the family structure is portrayed in the chosen works, the following points are considered: an investigation of the space of the house beyond its primary function of inhabiting; a reading of the reorganization of family structures that deviate from the patriarchal family structure present in the works and, consequently, the new arrangements that arise; and the representation of paternal and maternal figures in the works
