Abstract

This field research is one of the steps in the research project for an ongoing master degree, financed by the Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo - FAPESP- (São Paulo State's Foundation for Research Support) under the title of "Senhoras da Palavra: a apropriação da voz nas obras de Maria Teresa Horta e Ana Luísa Amaral" (Ladies of the Word: the voice appropriation in the work of Maria Teresa Horta and Ana Luísa Amaral). Our aim is to get a deeper understanding in our analysis about the possible relations between the works of Maria Teresa Horta and Ana Luísa Amaral, two female contemporary authors, starting on the relation that their poetics establish with feminist contemporary issues. In this moment, we aim to interview the authors, in seasonable opportunity, to collect unprecedented information on the recent publications of Maria Teresa Horta and Ana Luísa Amaral. We will also have the support of the CES' (Social Studies Center - Feminist Studies) collection, available in the University of Coimbra, to deeper the literary analysis in their publication context.
