Resumo: The novel The Bluest Eye, written by Toni Morrison, delves into various aspects, including the issues of racial segregation and violence against African-American women. This article aims to analyze the representation of space in the novel, particularly focusing on how the character Pecola Breedlove is portrayed within these environments. Additionally, it seeks to explore how these spaces are configured as both places of topophilia and topophobia. The findings indicate that inhospitable environments profoundly affect the protagonist physically and emotionally. This condition reflects the complex intersectional conflicts involving gender, race and sex, which significantly contribute to Pecola Breedlove's self-loathing process.

O objetivo deste artigo é analisar a representação do espaço no referido romance, observando como a personagem Pecola Breedlove se insere em tais ambientes, indicando, ao mesmo tempo, de que modo eles se configuram como espaços topofílicos e topofóbicos. Os resultados indicam que aqueles que são inóspitos afetam a protagonista emocionalmente e que tal condição é reflexo do conflito interseccional que envolve gênero, raça e sexo, contribuindo para o processo de autoaversão de Pecola Breedlove.MUNDIS2023-03-30info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.37334/eras.v14i1.289https://doi.org/10.37334/eras.v14i1.289ERAS | European Review of Artistic Studies; Vol. 14 N.º 1 (2023): 52.ª Edição | ERAS; 45-66ERAS | European Review of Artistic Studies; Vol. 14 No. 1 (2023): 52.ª Edição | ERAS; 45-661647-35582184-2116reponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAPporenghttps://eras.mundis.pt/index.php/eras/article/view/289https://eras.mundis.pt/index.php/eras/article/view/289/260https://eras.mundis.pt/index.php/eras/article/view/289/261Direitos de Autor (c) 2023 ERAS | European Review of Artistic Studiesinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessPereira, Jane Cely Marques do NascimentoSilva, Márcia Tavares2023-09-29T12:45:20Zoai:ojs2.eras.mundis.pt:article/289Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T20:27:57.246710Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
