About

Premises regarding gender clearly defined to men and women are not sustained in contemporary logic. Gender can be built through repetition of stylized acts under specific contexts. The terms masculinity and femininity may not refer themselves to a constitutive factor of gender; they might be seen as differences socially and hierarchically imposed by androcentrism and misogyny. Nowadays, we are what we claim. Representations are required. Gender is “defined” when someone needs to fulfill / make sense of its own existence, majority through models of fixed individuals. Logic means politics, doesn’t it? Such statements aim to approach the vast path in which gender related themes and their implications with literature and language are set.

Thus, considering all information and perspectives discussed, debates on gender are moving towards plurality, disengaging from archaic dualities. The event’s aim is, therefore, to stimulate free debates and sharing of ideologies regarding gender.

Our studies about gender on literature exist for more than a decade, with the aim of presenting ideas, ways to think beyond the sexist pattern, in which we are submersed. Although there are many groups researching gender in Brazil, this discussion is still on development in São José do RioPreto region and in São Paulo State. In order to bring it to our students and the entire community involved, we conceptualized the whole project of interfaces between literature and gender. What began as the I National Conference on Literature and Gender is already in its third version, continuing the international proposition and involving researchers from the entire country and world.
