Between dogma and resistance

verbal weapon and rehabilitation of woman’s consciousness in contemporary erography

Abstract

This present reflection focuses on the theme of the feminist revolution from the linguistic area. We intend to highlight how the female narrator instrumentalizes the verb and expressiveness in the search of effects that are usually disruptive of the systemic developed around the phallus. This work investigates, then, the instrumentalization of the linguistic sign from a subversive perspective of the exclusive sexist discourse. Relying on decolonial feminism –given that the colonial matrix is the small daughter of the patriarchal dogma–, we try to shed light on how novelists use erographic expressiveness to question the self-proclaimed sovereignty of men over the logos, and also to break the values that have been traditionally attributed to sexism. Thus, this study contemplates the feminine logos de-censored from its sexist obstacles as a weapon of resistance and transgression against the ideology sustained for a long time by the phalocracy.
