THE IDENTITY CONSTRUCTION OF THE CHARACTER GÍSELA/GÍSELA IN THE NOVEL A ASA ESQUERDA DO ANJO BY LYA LUFT
Lya Luft. Feminine identity. Foreignness. Between-place.
The present study aims to problematize the identity construction of the female character protagonist of the novel A asa esquerda do anjo, by the writer Lya Luft, considering the different elements that stress her, to the point that, throughout the narrative, she is doubly known as Guísela/Gisela. In the development of the critical reading, we resort to the notion of in-between place, as discussed by Silviano Santiago (2000), and to an understanding regarding the representation of the foreign subject, as analyzed by Júlia Kristeva (1994), seeking to understand how in the dialectic between the familiar and the alien to the character constitute his subjectivity.
