Abstract [pt]

A contracorrente do pensamento filosófico que atravessou os séculos, eque consiste em colocar amulher do lado da “falta” e da fraqueza,Agustina Bessa-Luís posiciona as personagens femininas dos seusromances do lado do poder. O nosso trabalho propõe analisar algumaspersonagens emblemáticas na obra da autora, para evidenciar aformacomo conseguiram encontrar novos modos de existência que lhespermitem evoluir fora do círculo de influência masculina. Comoveremos, através duma análise dos romancesA Sibila,O MosteiroeOConcerto dos Flamengos, o reinvestimento de temas ligados à condiçãofeminina,em particular ao celibato e à questão da virgindade, põe emcausa o vínculo obrigatório da mulher ao homem, como fundamentoda sua existência, e abala os alicerces da ordem patriarcal que rege asociedade portuguesa.

Abstract [en]

Against the philosophical thought that has traversed the centuries, and which consists of placing women on the side of the “lack” and weakness, Agustina Bessa-Luís positions female characters of her oeuvre on the side of power. This work proposes to analyze some emblematic characters of the author's work, demonstrating how they managed to find new forms of existence which allow them to be detached from the male circle of influence. We will claim, through an analysis of the novels A Sibila, O Mosteiro and O Concerto dos Flamengos, that the reinvestment of themes related to woman condition, such as celibacy and virginity, calls into question the obligatory bond between women and men, as the foundation of their existence, and shakes the foundations of the patriarchal order that rules Portuguese society.
