Teatralizando o feminino: representações da mulher na Literatura de aristófanes (411- 392 a.c.).

Abstract

Bearing in mind that the use of literary sources has been expanding the diverse perceptions of the making of History since the 20th century with the expansion of the meaning and use of sources by the Annales and the consolidation of the relationship between History and Literature , the present research proposes to analyze the comedies “Lisístrata” and “Assembleia das mulheres”, by comedian Aristophanes, to problematize the social and political roles of women in Greek society, especially Athenian, constructed by the representations of women, more specifically, in the period of 411 BC to 392 BC. Therefore, based on Chartier (2002), we seek to establish a look beyond the work, analyzing as a whole the historicity, the subjectivity of the author, and the relationship between the interlocutors of the referred pieces. Given this, we carried out the “setting up of the scenario”, the urban space of the polis, in which we seek to reflect, from an urban perspective, Benevolo (2012), the relations between the delimitation of the public and the private established through the signs that compose to the polis, with the construction of “spaces for the male and female”. From the analysis of the plots, we realize that the segregation of these spaces of action in the polis comes from the conception of the existence of a “place” of the masculine and the feminine that is historically constructed through otherness, as attend Joan Scott (1989) and Elisabeth Badinter (1993).
