Portraits and reports of / in the feminine: intermedial readings from Maria Teresa Horta and Yolanda Castaño
| Summary: | From an Iberian perspective, a Galician-Portuguese one, more specifically, the aim of this essay is a dialogical reading of the poetry of women-poets of our century who propose a different view of the feminine and of feminine identity, putting into play a certain theology of femininity, alongside concepts that explicitly call for the representation of the body: Anunciações [Annunciations] (2016), by the Portuguese writer Maria Teresa Horta, a novel in verse that rewrites "with all the senses" the biblical encounter between the Virgin and the Angel; and O libro da egoísta [The Selfish Woman´s Book] (2003) by the young Galician poet Yolanda Castaño, a work that integrates literary and audiovisual codes and where the reflection on identity unfolds and multiplies, returning an image built between the most intimate self and the public perception of the writer. |
