Abstract

The aim of this study was building a sort of portrait of female authorship contemporary novels, in which we highlight their main thematic, aesthetical and ideological features, characterized as feminist subversions. The starting point was mapping the construction mode of characters that are part of 151 novels written by women and published by three prominent Brazilian publishing companies from 2000 to 2015. This mapping was done through the research “Literature by contemporary Brazilian female authors: inclusive choices?” The methodology comprised the recognition, problematization and interpretation of the constants that permeate such production. The theoretical framework was built through a multidisciplinary perspective that approaches literature in its intersections with the sociocultural context from which it emerges, and with theories that were devised to reflect upon the contemporary world and its artistic manifestations, with an emphasis on the feminist critical theory.
