Resumo: | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
This study addresses the works of Adelaide Carraro (1925-1992) and
Cassandra Rios (1932-2002), often referred to as the greatest pornographers of
Brazilian literature, an epithet of dubious distinction. They were best-selling
authors, especially in the 1960s and 1970s, and were also among the most
censured during the last dictatorship (1964-1985). Their vast bibliographies are
linked by a passion for the visible, which is proper to the naturalist tradition,
and by a daring sexual content. This study will show, however, that the two
authors had distinct and to a large extent contrary aims. Their literary projects,
which maintained a significant level of internal cohesion over a long period of
constant activity, combined transgressive and conservative elements in a way that
challenges interpretation. Premised on the notion that critics should take full
account of their objects of inquiry, this study breaks new ground by exploring a
number of novels of each author, as well as interviews and press commentary.
This study questions the scant body of previous criticism that easily associates
their novels with emancipatory movements or excludes them altogether from the
realm of literature. At the same time, this study brings to light oft-ignored features
of these works, such as cruelty, idealism, and aspirations to purity.
