Feminismos em discurso: uma análise da produção de sentidos em Para Educar Crianças Feministas

Abstract

This work takes the book Para Educar Crianças Feministas (2017), by Chimamanda Adichie, as a field of study whose aim is to inquire which feminist subject is being produced in the author's discourse, analyzing which processes contribute to the appearance of the statements, which forms of power act in the field of adichean literature and that identities are signified from this discourse. Guided by the theoretical frameworks of discourse analysis, feminists and genders studies explore the writer's text seeking to highlight the latent instabilities, conflicts and ruptures, questioning how this dynamic is configured. Understanding that discursive practices are subject and interrelated to socio-historical rules and contexts that enable the specificities of the text, we consider the identities triggered by Chimamanda as flexible and unstable constructions, crossed by a bundle of relations that intersects and makes impossible its determination. From these observations we consider that the literary project of Chimamanda Adichie is an emblematic field where categories such as identity, race, sexuality and gender can be problematized, explored and debated as contradictions that permeate and form the heterogeneity of discourse
