A poética de Luiza Amélia de Queiroz: rastro da memória

Abstract

This work, The poetics of Luiza Amélia de Queiroz: memory traces, has as focus the rescue , and the ressignfication of women‟s first manifestations in literature, in the state of Piauí, specifically in the nineteenth century. In order to do so, we dealt with the poet Luiza Amélia de Queiroz, highlighting the identity construction as woman, subjected to the limited context of 19th century. Even with all the obstacles, she managed to publish two works and still leaving printing press publications. Starting with a bibliographical research about the writer, we sought to do an extra-textual and intra-textual study in the text Uncultured Flowers (1895), verifying memory traces, poetic images and women representations, whether submissive or transgressor, in the sociopolitical and cultural context in which the work is inserted. We used authors such as: Mendes (2009), Le Goff (1990), Moreira (2012), Zinani (2013) and Buitoni (1990), among others. Throughout this research, elements about the author and her work were surveyed in a hope of contributing to Piauiense and Brazilian literatures.
