Resumo:    In this research, I discuss the ways of representing women in relation to the theories of eroticism founded by Octávio Paz and Georges Bataille from the study of the archetype of the demon woman expressed in the character Carmen, originally from the homonymous novel by Prosper Mérimée, but which gained recognition from the opera, also homonymous, by Georges Bizet, beco­ming a world-renowned literary myth as a result of its numerous adaptations, especially for the cinema. Among the various female characters who embody the archetype of the demon woman, Carmen is one of the most notable repre­sentations of femme fatale. Regarding the character, it is possible to say that, both in literature and in its various adaptations, what is preserved in Carmen is the strength of her sensuality driven by the erotic charge present in her nature. Carmen is dressed in eroticism, mainly because she represents one of the stron­gest incarnations of the myth of the demon woman. It is precisely this form of abundant representation of the demonic woman that interests me in this study, as I believe that the permanence of this form of representation of the character is a reflection of an ideology that has been repeated over time in Western culture, and which guarantees the maintenance of the power relations in patriarchy My objective is to verify the predominance of a specific male thought about eroticism and about women, which tends to place women as an erotic object, therefore, I base my discussion based on feminist and gender studies supported by theorists such as Judith Butler and Lisa Jardine, among others.

Entre los diversos personajes femeninos que encarnan el arquetipo de la mujer demonio, Carmen es una de las representaciones más notables de la mujer fatal. Sobre al personaje, se puede decir que, tanto en la literatura como en sus diversas adaptaciones, lo que se conserva en Carmen es la fuerza de su sensualidad impulsada por la carga erótica presente en su naturale¬za. Carmen se viste de erotismo, principalmente porque representa una de las encarnaciones más fuertes del mito de la mujer demonio. Es precisamente esta forma de abundante representación de la mujer demoníaca la que me interesa en este estudio, ya que creo que la permanencia de esta forma de representación del personaje es reflejo de una ideología que se ha repetido a lo largo del tiempo en la cultura occidental, y que garantiza el mantenimiento de las relaciones de poder en el patriarcado Mi objetivo es constatar el predomi¬nio de un pensamiento específico masculino sobre el erotismo y sobre la mujer, que tiende a situar a la mujer como objeto erótico, para ello baso mi discusión desde el feminismo y el género estudios apoyados por teoricas como Judith Butler y Lisa Jardine entre otros.Nesta pesquisa, discuto os modos de representação da mulher em relação às teorias do erotismo fundamentadas por Octávio Paz e Georges Bataille a partir do estudo do arquétipo da mulher demônio expresso na personagem Carmen, originária da novela homônima de Prosper Mérimée, mas que ganhou reconhecimento a partir da ópera, também homônima, de Georges Bizet, tor¬nando-se um mito literário mundialmente conhecido em consequência de suas inúmeras adaptações, sobretudo para o cinema. Dentre as diversas personagens femininas que incorporam o arquétipo da mulher demônio, Carmen figura como uma das mais notáveis representações da mulher fatal. A respeito da personagem, é possível dizer que, tanto na literatura quanto nas suas diversas adaptações, o que se preserva em Carmen é a força de sua sensualidade conduzida pela carga erótica presente em sua natureza. Carmen veste-se de erotismo, principalmente por representar uma das mais contundentes encarnações do mito da mulher demônio. É justamente essa forma de representação abundante da mulher de¬moníaca que me interessa nesse estudo, pois considero que a permanência do modo de representação da personagem é reflexo de uma ideologia que tem se repetido ao longo do tempo na cultura ocidental, e que garante a manutenção das relações de poder no patriarcado. Meu objetivo é verificar a predominância de um pensamento masculino específico sobre o erotismo e sobre a mulher, que tende a situar a mulher como objeto erótico. Para tanto, fundamento minha discussão com base nos estudos feministas e de gênero, respaldada por teóricas como Judith Butler e Lisa Jardine dentre outras.Editora da PUCRS - ediPUCRS2023-12-18info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/fale/article/view/4421010.15448/1984-7726.2023.1.44210Letras de Hoje; Vol. 58 No. 1 (2023): Single Volume ; e44210Letras de Hoje; Vol. 58 Núm. 1 (2023): Volumen Único; e44210Letras de Hoje; v. 58 n. 1 (2023): Volume Único; e442101984-77260101-333510.15448/1984-7726.2023.1reponame:Letras de Hoje (Online)instname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS)instacron:PUC_RSporhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/fale/article/view/44210/28362Copyright (c) 2023 Letras de Hojehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessRibeiro Carvalho, Sueleny2024-02-19T20:08:49Zoai:ojs.revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br:article/44210Revistahttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/falePRIhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/fale/oaieditora.periodicos@pucrs.br || letrasdehoje@pucrs.br1984-77260101-3335opendoar:2024-02-19T20:08:49Letras de Hoje (Online) - Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS)false
