Resumo: Women’s participation in wars, either directly or indirectly, has been the study object of war narratives since the Classical Age. This article aims to analyze women’s significant role to the construction of cultural memory and how women’s representations have evolved, from myth, since Homer until the early twentieth century, when the First War was declared, to the assumption of “silent victims” in wartime, and finally to the condition of proactive members of a much-dreamed society with equal opportunities for everyone. This paper addresses, more specifically, how women war narratives of the First World War reflect upon the war trauma, which brought equally disastrous consequences for women, men and children and how the War contributed to the reconfiguration of women’s social roles.

O presente artigo busca analisar o papel significativo das mulheres na construção da memória cultural e a evolução das representações femininas, desde a instância do mito, de Homero até o início do século XX, quando a Primeira Guerra foi declarada, para a presumida condição de “vítimas silenciosas” chegando, enfim, à situação de membros proativos de uma sociedade igualitária. Este artigo aponta, mais especificamente, para como as narrativas femininas da Primeira Guerra abordam o trauma da guerra, que afetou em igual escala mulheres, homens e crianças, e como a Primeira Guerra Mundial abriu terreno para a reconfiguração de papéis sociais femininos.Universidade Federal de Santa Maria2016-12-11info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionAvaliado pelos paresapplication/pdfhttp://periodicos.ufsm.br/LA/article/view/2517510.5902/1679849X25175Literatura e Autoritarismo; n. 17 (2016): Dossiê "Literatura e Guerra: o impacto da Primeira Guerra Mundial na produção cultural"1679-849X1679-849Xreponame:Literatura e Autoritarismoinstname:Universidade Federal de Santa Maria (UFSM)instacron:UFSMenghttp://periodicos.ufsm.br/LA/article/view/25175/14529Copyright (c) 2016 Literatura e Autoritarismoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessAbreu, Denise Borille de2023-05-24T02:55:33Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/25175Revistahttps://periodicos.ufsm.br/LA/indexPUBhttp://cascavel.ufsm.br/revistas/ojs-2.2.2/index.php/LA/oaigla@mail.ufsm.br||jlourique@pq.cnpq.br1679-849X1679-849Xopendoar:2023-05-24T02:55:33Literatura e Autoritarismo - Universidade Federal de Santa Maria (UFSM)false
