Em pilhas, as mulheres: a literatura de Patrícia Melo representando a violência nossa de cada dia

Abstract

The present work analyzes, from the feminist critical theory, the perspectives of violence in the narrative of female authorship of the writer Patrícia Melo, whose fictional cut is established, predominantly, in the work Womans stackadas (2019). However, other novels, whose recurring theme of violence against women is also significant, will be analyzed briefly, namely The Killer (1995) Black waltz (2003) and Marsh-Fire (2014). In addition, pertinent questions will be raised about the author's recent release, the book Less than one (2022). The dissertation will be structured through, mostly, the literary theoretical contribution with alignment to the decolonial perspective, mainly of female authorship, valuing intersectional approaches and dialoguing with artistic texts that also cover the subject. The believable tone of Patrícia Melo's criminal narrative works will allow for analogies with countless forms of systemic violence already perpetrated socially and that, precisely because of this, such notes are so providential. Therefore, there will be discussions of elements that thematize the proximity between fiction and reality, as well as surveys relevant to the need for solutions so that all people, especially with a female identity, have their spaces of speech and existence guaranteed.
