BETWEEN DESIRES AND TRANSGRESSIONS: THE RECEPTION OF THE WORK UNSUBMISSIVE TEARS OF WOMEN ON THE SKOOB PLATFORM

Abstract

In this article, we analyze how readers, in the context of social media, receive the work Insubmissas Lágrimas de Mulheres (2016), by Conceição Evaristo. The investigative method used is the analysis of reviews published on the Skoob platform. It seeks to investigate the aspects by which the reader is affected by the writing in the book. It is found that the reader's identity and experience shape the way he/she reads and evaluates the aesthetic and literary quality of the work. To proceed with the analysis, five reviews submitted by readers of the platform were selected. Through this examination, it was possible to identify a substantial layer of black readers, which also encompasses readers who have witnessed or understand the demands of black people's experience. The study is based on the assumptions of the Aesthetics of Reception, by Hans Robert Jauss (1979) and Jacques Rancière (2014).
