SAFO IN SODOM: THE FEMALE WRITING OF JUDITH TEIXEIRA IN TIMES OF ORPHEUS

Abstract

This essay aims a reading proposal of Judith Teixeira’s poetry, having as guiding bias her feminine writing under the sign of Sapho. From an ex­pression of confessed female homoeroticism, it will seek the understand­ing of his literary project, articulated in fictional creations of different masks. With this, it also aims to not only to affirm his name in the Por­tuguese modernism scenario, but also to point out a possible anticipation avant la lettre of some of the main demands of the contemporary feminist movements.
