Abstract

This research is centered on the theme of masculinity and literature, and its general objective is to analyze how the masculinity construction takes place in The Hour of the Star. Therefore, we seek to understand some issues, such as, how are the masculinities of the narrator Rodrigo SM developed? and Olympic? As for the masculinity presented in the work, does it resemble any pattern? Or, is there any difference between the masculinities exposed by the characters analyzed, besides, as they occur to the masculine practices of the northeastern man? To answer such questions, we look at the corpus and gender criticism. Through four chapters, we seek to list relevant points for the discussion we propose. Initially we have a preview of what will be worked on, then we made a cut through the gender critique, in order to understand what is already being discussed in the object of study regarding the theme of gender, made this survey, in which we arrived some important conclusions, among them, the issue of the gap of studies referring to the agenda of masculinity in the worked work, which gap contributes to the justification of the existence of this work. Then we move on to a discussion centered on the main theories that underlie our research, thus trying to situate the reader about important concepts that would be used throughout the work, such as gender performance. Finally, we came to some important results, which demonstrated the existence of the study gap in this analysis bias, and also, in which we could identify that both characters glimpsed an ideal of hegemonic masculinity, in addition to both performing their genres, we show. still the northeastern masculinity of Olímpico, and its peculiarities. We base our research mainly on the theoretical postulations of author Connell (1995) and author Butler (2003), as well as other important theorists. Regarding the nature of the work, the research is bibliographic, since it uses already elaborated theoretical postulations and can be classified as descriptive and qualitative.
