A (res)construção feminina nos poemas de Alice Ruiz: por uma literatura que transite (também) nas escolas.

Abstract

Poetic creation plays a fundamental role in the representational field, expressing the historical situations of a people. Thus, poetry is not only a verbal combination but also a representation of the political nuances of an era, legitimizing social and gender struggles. Literary texts authored by women are spaces where the voice of women resonates, who still face many struggles to be recognized and to become known in the artistic and cultural fields. In this sense, this article aims to present the poetry of Alice Ruiz, as well as the pertinent discourses related to women in the context of human and ideological experiences. Hegel (1980), Cohen (1974), Staiger (1975), and Spitzer (2003) provide an understanding of Alice Ruiz's poetic language; similarly, Foucault (2014), Showalter (1994), and Vianna (2004) offer insights into the discursive layers that address themes such as body, love, and time. Therefore, we consider the reception of Alice Ruiz's poetry in the school environment to be relevant, as it broadens students' understanding of power and gender.
