Abstract

Maria Teresa Horta and Ana Luísa Amaral are two authors that build their poetics around themes that are viewed as less important by the Portuguese canon. This study seeks to analyze texts chosen from Minha Senhora de Mim (1971) and Os Anjos (1983), by Maria Teresa Horta; Novas Cartas Portuguesas (1972), by Maria Isabel Barreno, Maria Velho da Costa and Maria Teresa Horta; and Minha Senhora de Quê (1990), Vozes (2013) and Escuro (2015), by Ana Luísa Amaral; noticing how the literature written by women tends to act using its potential to deconstruct canonized speeches literary or not. On that subject, the concept of parody proposed by Lynda Hutcheon in Uma Teoria da Paródia (1985) was chosen to examine how the reconfiguration of canonical texts subverts not only the literary tradition, but also stablished social structures in a patriarchal society.
