Se presenta un ejercicio analítico sobre las obras de arte literarias: La casa de los espíritus de Isabel Allende, y Del amor y otros demonios de Gabriel García Márquez, cuyo objetivo general es describir los elementos que configuran la relación intertextual entre ambas obras desde los ámbitos sociocultural, histórico y literario, en el contexto latinoamericano. La investigación se desarrolló con una perspectiva documental, enmarcada en el enfoque cualitativo desde el paradigma interpretativo. A pesar de la década de diferencia en que fueron escritas ambas obras, en ellas prevalecen preocupaciones, temas y manifestaciones culturales que nos dejan entrever los diálogos culturales e interculturales, siendo el amor uno de los elementos intertextuales de mayor relevancia, junto con el poder de la Iglesia Católica, el realismo mágico y el papel de la mujer.

DA PROIBIÇÃO À REVOLUÇÃO NA PRODUÇÃO LITERÁRIA ESCRITA POR MULHERES: O CASO DE CLARA E ALBA EM A CASA DOS ESPÍRITOS, DE ISABEL ALLENDE

Na obra A Casa dos Espíritos (2017[1982]), de Isabel Allende, destacam-se as mulheres da família, principalmente Clara e Alba, as responsáveis pela narração da história — a primeira por escreve-la em seus cadernos de anotar a vida e a segunda por resgatar essa escrita, após sua libertação do cárcere ditatorial, e narrá-la de modo a construir a obra. Nessa perspectiva, nosso objetivo é analisar o potencial revolucionário e de resistência da escrita das mulheres utilizando como corpus a obra de Allende. Para isso, através de teóricas como Joanna Russ (2018), Gerda Lerner 2019, Michelle Perrot (2019) e Virginia Woolf (2019), faremos um breve percurso acerca da proibição e dos empecilhos históricos impostos às mulheres afim de barrar ou dificultar suas expressões através da escrita, culminando nas estratégias utilizadas por elas, tal como a escrita de cartas e, como Clara, de diários/cadernos privados, como estratégia de registro e de voz. Concluímos que Allende, em sua obra, ilustra o poder revolucionário da produção escrita das mulheres.
