Resumo: Abjection is a central narrative resource in gothic fiction, a genre which deals with disturbance, terror, cleanliness and ambiguity in order to question the power of cultural constraints. It is also a central process in the constitution and interrelation of gender identities, being understood as a preclusion of identities which defy the intelligibility of heterosexuality and cultural imperatives that dictate femininity and its representation. The analysis of two novels written in the gothic mode, Cat’s Eye, by Canadian writer Margaret Atwood, and Ciranda de Pedra, by Lygia Fagundes Telles, a Brazilian writer, aims at discussing figurations of abjection in gothic fiction and at approaching the operation of such process in the performance of female identities that challenge and subvert culturally shared images of femininity.

É, ainda, um processo central à constituição e interrelação de identidades de gênero, sendo compreendida como a exclusão de identidades que desafiam a inteligibilidade heterossexual e os imperativos culturais que ditam a construção da feminidade e suas representações. A análise de dois romances góticos, Cat’s Eye, da escritora canadense Margaret Atwood, e Ciranda de Pedra, da escritora brasileira Lygia Fagundes Telles, objetiva discutir figurações da abjeção na ficção gótica e abordar o funcionamento de tal processo na performatividade de identidades femininas que desafiam e subvertem imagens culturalmente compartilhadas de feminidade.
