Resumo: | This article aims to insert Freshwater: a Comedy (1923/1935), the only theatrical experiment penned by the English writer Virginia Woolf, into the debates around the modernist scene, which are mobilized by critical readings of her broad literary project. It is a consensus among scholars that Woolf’s oeuvre aligns aesthetics with politics, and that her modernist writings, as well as hoaxes and experimental performances, call into question absolute truths of Western thought, especially when it comes to imbrications of genre and gender in the critical transitions between terms such as “avant-garde”, “modernist” and “postmodernist” (GOLDMAN, 2004; WHITWORTH, 2010). However, Freshwater does not appear as an object of critical analysis in many of the studies dedicated to the works of Woolf. Thus, this article will show that the mentioned play can contribute to contemporary rereadings of modernism, especially if read as one of her avant-garde interventions, marked by the post-Victorianism (ELLIS, 2007) of her literary project. |

É consenso na crítica especializada que a obra de Woolf coaduna o estético e o político e que seus textos modernistas, além de brincadeiras e experimentos performáticos, questionam verdades estanques do pensamento ocidental, especialmente no que se refere a imbricações entre gêneros literários e performances de gênero nas transições críticas entre os termos “avant-garde”, “modernista”, e “pós-modernista” (GOLDMAN, 2004; WHITWORTH, 2010). Contudo, a peça Freshwater não figura como objeto de análise de muitos estudos dedicados à obra de Woolf. Então, este trabalho mostrará que essa comédia da autora em foco pode contribuir para releituras contemporâneas do modernismo, especialmente se lida como uma de suas intervenções vanguardistas, marcadas pelo pós-vitorianismo (ELLIS, 2007) de seu projeto literário.UFSC2023-08-22info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/desterro/article/view/9223210.5007/2175-8026.2023.e92232Ilha do Desterro A Journal of English Language, Literatures in English and Cultural Studies; Vol. 76 No. 2 (2023): (Re)creating possible futures or alternative presents through the artsIlha do Desterro A Journal of English Language, Literatures in English and Cultural Studies; v. 76 n. 2 (2023): (Re)creating possible futures or alternative presents through the arts2175-80260101-4846reponame:Ilha do Desterroinstname:Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)instacron:UFSCporhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/desterro/article/view/92232/54058Copyright (c) 2023 Victor Santiago, Ele, delehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSantiago, VictorPinho , Davi2023-08-22T16:27:27Zoai:periodicos.ufsc.br:article/92232Revistahttp://www.periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/desterroPUBhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/desterro/oaiilha@cce.ufsc.br||corseuil@cce.ufsc.br||ilhadodesterro@gmail.com2175-80260101-4846opendoar:2023-08-22T16:27:27Ilha do Desterro - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)false |
