Resumo: | This paper investigates how the movie I am Mother (2019), by Grant Sputore, brings into the center of the narrative the relationship between mother and daughter and converges the concepts of the nourishing mother and destructive mother, either a machine-mother or a monstrous body, in the attempt of creating a perfect human being. Thus, we will analyse, using the Gothic Poetics, the relationships between the female characters whom, in different moments, occupy the central space of being mother, as well as ponder on the process of the female identity development in a post-human future. In order to reach this objective, some theoretical references are used, under the lens of a contemporary gothic, concepts such as monstrosity, nourishing/destructive mother and abjection. |

Logo, buscaremos analisar, com recurso à poética gótica, as relações entre as personagens femininas que em momentos diferentes ocupam o lugar central do ser mãe, assim como também questionaremos o processo de construção de identidade feminina em um futuro pós-humano. Para atingir tais objetivos, foram utilizados como referencial teórico, sob a lente do gótico contemporâneo, conceitos de monstruosidade, de mãe nutridora/destruidora e de abjeção.UFSC2021-01-28info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/desterro/article/view/7598310.5007/2175-8026.2021.e75983Ilha do Desterro A Journal of English Language, Literatures in English and Cultural Studies; Vol. 74 No. 1 (2021): LiteratureIlha do Desterro A Journal of English Language, Literatures in English and Cultural Studies; v. 74 n. 1 (2021): Literatura2175-80260101-4846reponame:Ilha do Desterroinstname:Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)instacron:UFSCporhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/desterro/article/view/75983/45309Copyright (c) 2020 Caroline Façanha Mathias, Maria Conceição Monteiro, Maria Conceição Monteiro, Paula Pope Ramos, Paula Pope Ramoshttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMathias, Caroline FaçanhaMonteiro, Maria ConceiçãoRamos, Paula Pope2021-01-28T02:23:10Zoai:periodicos.ufsc.br:article/75983Revistahttp://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:2021-01-28T02:23:10Ilha do Desterro - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)false |
