I28-R145-9734_oai2021-03-12 Cotrim, Ana 2020-11-30 This article examines three texts by Machado de Assis featuring enslaved black (mixed-race) women: The short story “Father Against Mother” (Relics from an Old House, 1906); the narrative poem “Sabina” (Americanas, 1875); and the short story “Mariana” (Jornal das Famílias, 1871). It intends to show that, in these works, Machado subverts and unveils the social and literary stereotype of black women in general and mixed-race women in particular, as well as to claim that this subversion means a critique of naturalism that characterizes these stereotypical figures and makes up the fetishized conscience of the proprietary white man. Este artigo examina três textos curtos de Machado de Assis em que são figuradas mulheres negras (mestiças)1 escravizadas: o conto “Pai contra mãe” (Relíquias da Casa Velha, 1906); o poema narrativo “Sabina” (Americanas, 1875); e o conto “Mariana” (Jornal das Famílias, 1871). Tem a intenção de mostrar que, nesses contos, Machado subverte e desvenda o estereótipo social e literário das mulheres negras em geral e das “mulatas” em particular, bem como argumentar que essa subversão significa uma crítica ao naturalismo que caracteriza essas figuras estereotípicas e compõe a consciência fetichizada do homem branco proprietário. application/pdf text/html http://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/interlitteras/article/view/9734 10.34096/interlitteras.n2.9734 spa Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires http://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/interlitteras/article/view/9734/8574 http://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/interlitteras/article/view/9734/8595 Inter Litteras; Núm. 2 (2020); 145-188 2683-9695 0328-8935 Machado de Assis realism naturalism Black Women Slavery Machado de Assis Realismo naturalismo Mulheres Negras Escravidão The figuration of the black woman and the critique of naturalism in Machado de Assis: Arminda, Sabina and Mariana A figuração da mulher negra e a crítica do naturalismo em Machado de Assis: Arminda, Sabina e Mariana info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion http://repositoriouba.sisbi.uba.ar/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.cgi?a=d&c=interlit&d=9734_oai |
