Literatura infanto-juvenil e homoafetividade em É proibido miar de Pedro Bandeira

Abstract

This research falls within the field of Literary Studies in an interdisciplinary perspective with Gender Studies and Sexual Diversity. The overall objective is to analyze the different representations of gender and sexual diversity in child and adolescent literature, so as to show how this difference is represented in the texture of the literary text. Moreover, we seek to explain how to read literary works that address this theme can contribute to the formation of the contemporary readers. It is, therefore, a survey of literature and theoretical nature, by which we undertook an exercise in hermeneutics regarding our selected corpus, consisting of the following narrative: É proibido miar by Pedro Bandeira.
