Resumo: | The aim of this work is to focus attention on the transcultural role played by female migrant workers in contemporary Italy, seen as a diasporic space, in the novels Apri le porte all’alba (1999), by Elena Gianini Belotti, and L’indecenza (2008), by Elvira Seminara. These social characters – participants in intercultural and interbodily exchanges – have become literary characters, and even though they are reduced to non-people or marked by a supposed essentialist ethnic center, they stimulate the differential and transgressive forces of a globalized cultural homogeneity, as stated by Hall (2003). In an attempt to highlight this role of the migrant, I make use of the shaman figure in the magic existential drama and in the crisis of presence, discussed by Ernesto de Martino, one of the founders of the Italian anthropology, in Il mondo magico (1948). |

Essas personagens sociais – participantes de trocas interculturais e intercorporais –vêm se tornando personagens literárias e, embora reduzidas a não-pessoas ou marcadas porum pretenso núcleo étnico essencial, ativam as forças diferenciadoras e transgressoras dahomogeneidade cultural globalizada, citadas por Hall (2003). Visando acentuar esse papel damigrante, utilizo a figura do xamã no drama existencial mágico e na crise da presença, tratadospor Ernesto de Martino, um dos fundadores da antropologia italiana, em Il mondo magico (1948).Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina2012-09-10info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/ref/article/view/S0104-026X201200030001710.1590/S0104-026X2012000300017Revista Estudos Feministas; Vol. 20 No. 3 (2012); 901-918Revista Estudos Feministas; Vol. 20 Núm. 3 (2012); 901-918Revista Estudos Feministas; v. 20 n. 3 (2012); 901-9181806-95840104-026Xreponame:Revista Estudos Feministasinstname:Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)instacron:UFSCporhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/ref/article/view/S0104-026X2012000300017/23853Copyright (c) 2018 Revista Estudos Feministasinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessChiarini, Ana Maria2018-08-14T16:35:21Zoai:periodicos.ufsc.br:article/27670Revistahttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/ref/indexPUBhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/ref/oai||ref@cfh.ufsc.br1806-95840104-026Xopendoar:2022-11-21T11:38:14.556740Revista Estudos Feministas - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)true |
