Gênero, trabalho e violência em "A filha do coveiro", de Joyce Carol Oates, e "O apocalipse dos trabalhadores", de Valter Hugo Mãe by Paula Queiroz Dutra

“…Com base na análise dos romances A filha do coveiro (2008), da escritora norte-americana Joyce Carol Oates, e O apocalipse dos trabalhadores (2013), do escritor português Valter Hugo Mãe, pretende-se comparar, sob o viés dos estudos de gênero, tanto na autoria feminina quanto masculina, como essas personagens transitam entre o espaço doméstico e o espaço do trabalho, buscando refletir sobre os estereótipos que são construídos/desconstruídos nessas narrativas e sua associação direta com a violência contra a mulher, principalmente em seu ambiente de trabalho.…”

Texts such as Joyce Carol Oates’ <em>The Falls </em>show, however, that there is a way to write a fictional text about suicide without succumbing to the “dead queer” suicide plot formula. …”
