SUMMARY:

This research aims to analyze the erotic poetry of Olga Savary in the book Magma (1985) from the perspective of linguistic subversion and female empowerment. Through an analysis of the stylistic resources used by the author, such as metaphors, images and word games, we intend to examine how she subverts the traditionally constructed and patriarchally influenced language. This study seeks to understand how the linguistic strategies adopted by Savary contribute to the deconstruction of linguistic conventions that restrict female expression and reinforce gender obedience. In addition, it aims to explore how these strategies are directed to the construction of a feminine and empowering erotic narrative, which challenges the established norms and opens space for new possibilities of expression and pleasure. The research also proposes to investigate how the eroticism present in this work can be understood as a form of resistance and subversion to patriarchal power structures. It will be analyzed the ways in which the author uses the body and erotic desire in conjunction with nature and how these function as an imbricated system of female liberation and empowerment, breaking with the social and sexual norms imposed on women. To achieve these objectives, analyses of poems will be carried out, highlighting the stylistic and thematic aspects related to linguistic subversion, female empowerment and resistance to patriarchy. To compose the corpus of this research, authors from the theoretical field on eroticism will be invoked, elucidating the main possibilities of reading this form of representation, such as those proposed by Georges Bataille (2004), Octavio Paz (2004) and Michel Foucault (2002) as well as authors who deal with gender performances such as Judith Butler (2003), Simone de Beauvoir (1960), which will support reflections on the construction of female identity. From this theoretical contribution, the literary analysis of the Magma publication will be made, unveiling the constitutive form of the poems and how the erotic content of Olga Savary questions literarily the passivity imposed on women by conventions linked purely to gender.
