Esta dissertação propõe-se a analisar, através de uma perspetiva comparada, os romances Veromar (2019), de Dina Salústio e A Vénus Crioula (2021), de Vera Duarte. Será feito um recorte que pretende realçar a centralidade dos corpos das mulheres em ambas as obras, partindo, portanto, o trabalho de um panorama teórico que conjuga os estudos de género e feministas com os estudos pós-coloniais, nomeadamente o caso do colonialismo português. As obras escolhidas inserem-se na literatura cabo-verdiana contemporânea, pelo que serão também enquadradas neste contexto, assim como no dos Países Africanos de Língua Portuguesa (PALOP), de modo geral. A análise dos romances procurará também estabelecer contrapontos com obras anteriores de ambas as autoras. O principal tema a ser estudado em todas estas obras é o modo como o corpo feminino é escrito pelas próprias mulheres e que potenciais de resistência encerra em si, sendo também abordadas as inúmeras circunstâncias de violência em que estes mesmos corpos frequentemente se encontram.
This dissertation aims to analyse, through a comparative methodology, the novels Veromar (2019), by Dina Salústio and A Vénus Crioula (2021), by Vera Duarte. The approach chosen highlights the centrality of women’s bodies in both literary works and therefore entails a theoretical framework that combines feminist and gender studies with postcolonial studies, particularly in relation to Portuguese colonialism. The novels selected are part of contemporary Cape Verdean literature and will also be examined within that lens, as well as contextualized in the broader group of African Countries with Portuguese as an official language (PALOP). The analysis will also seek to establish parallels with previous works by both authors. The main theme explored across these novels is how the female body is represented by the women themselves and its potential for resistance, while also highlighting the countless circumstances of violence to which these bodies are frequently subjected.
