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.
