• Abstract:

  The purpose of this analysis is to reflect on the relationships between Cultural Studies and Plural Feminisms present in literary texts by female authors, comprising the entire context of plurality of ethnicity, race, gender, class, belief and sexualities and political system. The literary text is a social practice and contemporary approaches have shown this with much evidence, as the boundaries between disciplinary territories are fluid, the questioning of places that produce knowledge are recurrent in contemporary times, as are the operational concepts responsible for the production of paradigms. and critical methodologies. In this sense, the main objective is to verify how Feminism was important for Cultural Studies throughout its constitution within the literature of female authorship and what the main ruptures within the literary canon were, taking as an example the works: O país das mulheres (2010) and O olho da mulher (2012), both written by Nicaraguan author Gioconda Belli. The specific objectives are to outline the theory of Cultural Studies in relation to Literature by female authorship and how the feminist movement around the world has contributed to the construction of critical consciousness in literature by female authorship. The methodology used is bibliographical and documentary, based mainly on Durão (2016); Hall (2009); Zinani (2013); Kolodny (2018), among others. It is hoped that with this reflection there will be more understanding of the importance of plural feminisms within the literature of female authorship.
