Abstract

The guiding thread of this research is the study of the trajectory and essayistic production of Gilda de Mello e Souza (1919-2005). Attempting to establish connections between the female experience and the production of ideas, the dissertation draws a general framework of the social changes in Brazil in the beginning of the 20th century, focusing on the increase of women¿s participation on the intellectual environment and public space. The personal and professional experience of the essayist in the male-dominated academic space become an analytic key that unlocks fundamental aspects of the development of her ideas. In a second moment, we investigate how the relations and dialogues established by Gilda contribute to the constitution of her arguments concerning the Brazilian artistic experience, contextualizing her place in her generation¿s frame of ideas and, in a wider sense, where she stands in the scenario of Brazilian social thought. Considering this research horizon, this analysis intends to investigate how Gilda articulates gender, art and society (AU)
