Acesso em: 16 jan. 2023.e- 1984-4018http://repositorio.bc.ufg.br/handle/ri/21806The poetry of Luiza Romão reveals the feminine figure from a classic representation deconstruction point of view, permeated by myths and taboos that through the centuries have been used to oppressively educate and control the bodies of women. Aware that the disciplinarization of the female body obeys a stereotype that serves groups which control and detain privileged positions in power relations, we propose not to reject the body, but from its standpoint, deconstruct and desecrate its representation, which is currently aligned to the patriarchal institutions in place. Thus, this article has the purpose of performing an accurate study of the poem “Virgem”, from the book Coquetel Motolove (2014), in order to verify how the poetic and literary tools enable the deconstruction of the traditional female representation and how the female body is seen as a place of cumulative wisdom and resistance. The analyses shall be made from key interpretations of gender and feminism studies. For such, the following authors shall be used as theoretical background: Avtar Brah (2006), Elaine Showalter (1993; 2004), Elizabeth Grosz (2000), Michelle Perrot (2003), Pierre Bourdieu (2002), Rebecca Solnit (2017) and Silvia Federici (2017), among others.porAcesso Abertohttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/Poesia contemporâneaAutoria femininaEstudos de gêneroCorpo e resistênciaLuiza RomãoContemporary poetryFemale authorshipBody and resistanceGender studiesArtigohttps://doi.org/10.30612/raido.v12i31.8304
