Objetificação feminina nos Contos “Maibi”, de Alberto Rangel e “Caligrafia de Deus”, de Márcio Souza

Abstract

This paper aims to analyze issues involving female objectification in the short stories “Maibi”, by Alberto Rangel and “Caligrafia de Deus”, by Márcio Souza. In them, the characters Maibi and Isabel Pimentel will be analyzed from the perspective of how gender relations are perceived as mechanisms and social practices, instituting actions and behaviors that silence and violate women. The idea is to analyze the characters with a view that perceives how the authors denounce the objectification of women in the Amazon scenario, reducing her to an object of use and/or commercial exchange. In this process of analysis, it will be possible to observe how the great capitalist projects in the Amazonian space have great determination in the occurrences of violence.
