Eroticism. Subversion. Feminist literary criticism. “Magma”. Olga Savary.
This dissertation proposes an analysis of Olga Savary's poetry in her work "Magma", focusing on the use of eroticism as a form of resistance to patriarchal structures within feminist literary criticism. The research's main objective is to analyze eroticism in the poetic work "Magma" as a mechanism for subverting patriarchal norms, promoting a poetic language that challenges social conventions and affirms female autonomy and empowerment. To achieve this objective, the work examines the poetic construction of the body and erotic desire in the work, identifying them as instruments of female empowerment. Through detailed analysis of the poems, we seek to understand how Savary uses subversive language to deconstruct patriarchal narratives and promote a more emancipatory vision of the female body and desire. Furthermore, this study contextualizes "Magma" within the feminist movement, placing the work in the historical and social panorama in which it was produced. From this contextualization, it will be possible to better understand the influences and impacts of Olga Savary's poetry on the Brazilian literary scene and on discussions about gender and sexuality. The question that guides this research is: "How does Olga Savary's work 'Magma' use eroticism as a mechanism for subverting patriarchal norms, promoting a poetic language that challenges social conventions and affirms female autonomy and empowerment?" The answer to this question will be sought through critical analysis of the selected poems, contributing to the understanding of the work's relevance in the fight for gender equality.
