Abstract

The essay focuses on the interface between the issue of the feminine in literature and the feminine as an issue for literature. To deepen the relevant reflections to the subject, we appropriate the understanding of “feminine writing”, developed by Lucia Castello Branco (1991; 1994; 2019; among others), which points to a diction that is specific to certain literary texts, regardless of the gender of their authors. From this, and considering the pressing and current demand for new ways of experiencing the feminine, we turn to the works of Camila Sosa Villada, El viaje inútil: trans/escrituras (2018) and O parque das irmãs magníficas (2021b). We will underline, in this texts, the own diction, the presence of the feminine, and its meanings: beyond gender, we will analyze how, from the body and writing, “this other femininity” appears, in continuous creation and elaboration, as a supplementary feminine.
