"A FÁBRICA DO FEMININO” E A PÓS-MODERNIDADE EM CONSUMO

Abstract

Studying the rise of the female voice in contemporary poems requires a keen eye on images produced within the consumer market. To understand oneself as a female subject means to understand the herself’s representations, because after all how to identify as a woman? At the same time, working on the poem’s language in the postmodern world implies questioning the symbologies that are for sale, the consumption’s impacts and what this all represents for the poet. Therefore, contemporary poetry in the female voice describes the double task: looking at the self, language and its potential. Based on these questions, the work “The factory of the feminine” by Glenadel (2008) is presented. Thus, this article aims to study the poems "A Fábrica do feminino"  and "Espelho", through the postmodern conception that addresses the logic of the consumer market, discussed together with the Jameson’s notes (1985).
