Resumo: Pétrus Borel, leading figure of the frenetic romanticism of 1830, writes the novel Madame Putiphar (1839) aiming to uncover the corruption and debauchery of the French court of the eighteenth century during the reign of Louis XV, at which time the story takes place. Among the characters in the narrative, the royal maid, homosexual, has a great relevance to the story since her function is to teach libertine practices to the King’s mistresses, becoming a key player in the dissolute dynamic of power. Finally, it is worthy of mention that the representation of the lesbian character as a sex instructor is the resumption of a character-type of the eighteenth century’s erotic literature, going back to the works of Sade and the Marquis d’Argens.

Dentre as personagens da narrativa, a camareira real, homossexual, possui relevância na intriga, com a função de iniciar as amantes do rei nas práticas libertinas, tornando-se uma peça-chave na dinâmica dissoluta do poder. Finalmente, destaca-se que a representação da personagem lésbica, como instrutora sexual, constitui a retomada de um personagem-tipo da literatura erótica do século XVIII, remontando às obras de Sade e do marquês d’Argens.Programa de Pós-graduação em Letras2016-03-25info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://ojs.uel.br/revistas/uel/index.php/terraroxa/article/view/2495310.5433/1678-2054.2010v18p100Terra Roxa e Outras Terras: Revista de Estudos Literários; Vol. 18: Representações literárias da homossexualidade; 100-108Terra Roxa e Outras Terras: Revista de Estudos Literários; Vol. 18: Representações literárias da homossexualidade; 100-108Terra Roxa e Outras Terras: Revista de Estudos Literários; v. 18: Representações literárias da homossexualidade; 100-1081678-2054reponame:Terra Roxa e Outras Terras: Revista de Estudos Literáriosinstname:Universidade Estadual de Londrina (UEL)instacron:UELporhttps://ojs.uel.br/revistas/uel/index.php/terraroxa/article/view/24953/18288Copyright (c) 2010 Terra Roxa e Outras Terras: Revista de Estudos Literáriosinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessLima, Fernanda Almeida2020-12-03T11:40:03Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/24953Revistahttp://www.uel.br/revistas/uel/index.php/terraroxa/indexPUBhttps://ojs.uel.br/revistas/uel/index.php/terraroxa/oaiterraroxa.uel@gmail.com1678-20541678-2054opendoar:2023-01-13T10:37:05.854990Terra Roxa e Outras Terras: Revista de Estudos Literários - Universidade Estadual de Londrina (UEL)false
