A violência contra mulher abordada na obra quarto de despejo de Carolina Maria de Jesus

Abstract

This article aims to present the violence against women highlighted in the work Quarto de despejo: diary of a favelada by Carolina Maria de Jesus. The theme was chosen based on the researcher's professional experience, as she witnessed violence against women and the emotional and physical damage resulting from this type of aggression. In order to achieve the objective of this study, a bibliographic research of a qualitative nature was carried out, since it is a literary analysis, using the phenomenological approach as a method of approach. The theoretical foundation was based on the vision of Vera Teixeira de Aguiar, Maria da Glória Bordini, Regina Zilberman, Thomas Bonnici and Mikhail Bakhtin. As a result, it was observed that violence against women was perceived in the work in question in different ways, therefore writing is a form of self-defense for the author. With her critical, reflective and, at the same time, poetic vision, Carolina gave voice to the marginalized, opening up the social neglect. Important issues that should always receive a special look and never be left aside, were denounced by her through her marginal literature.
