Resumo
This work aims to make a critical reading of the representations of the lesbian
woman in the novel I am a lesbian (1980), by the São Paulo writer Cassandra Rios, whose
works were considered pornographic and censored during the Brazilian military
regime. When we follow the memories of the protagonist Flávia, we observe a series of
questions about her identity and her desires for other women, which highlights issues
related to female homoeroticism, prejudice and discrimination against lesbian women in a markedly social-historical context repressive, especially in relation to identities
considered as non-hegemonic. To achieve our goals in reading Rios’s novel, we used
the theoretical and critical concepts of George Bataille (1987), Judith Butler (2003),
Tânia Navarro-Swain (2004), Adriane Piovezan (2005, Isabela Nóbrega (2015), and
Anderson Guimarães (2013), among others, that enabled us to have a more accurate
understanding of the representations of lesbian women in Cassandra Rios’ literature.
