O duplo lugar de fala em As parceiras, de Lya Luft

Abstract

 This article promotes a debate on the place of speech of the silenced woman and victim of the patriarchal system in the work As Parceiras (1980), by the writer Lya Luft. In such a way, violence against women in this work, is confused with the violence of patriarchy, within failed marriages of three generations of dissatisfied and unhappy women. Then, the narrative is told by the narrating character, Anelise, through alternative memories between the present and the past, to understand the roots of her family. In this way, we used the concepts of feminist and gender studies by some renowned authors: Pierre Bourdieu, in the debate on violence in the context of male domination; Lia Machado comments on the classifications of the different phases of gender violence; Carlos Gomes presents several evidences of the aggressions against female characters in the literary text. Therefore, we began to analyze the woman's place of speech, revered by Gayatri Spivak and Dijamila Ribeiro, in order to explore the technique used by the narrator to give voice to the silenced women of her family, while seeking to find herself in the present.
