Tecendo o universo feminino em Lisístrata: entre guerreiras divinas e mortais

Abstract

Our thesis aims to analyze the relationship between the divine and the human, political and sexual, as well as the relationships established between these plans and the dramatic text from the comedy skit Lysistrata, written by the Greek poet Aristophanes. It is due to show how textual and discursive elements are crucial for the development of the female characters who are opposed to the male characters, either by speech or symbolic images, since the ideal hero to the public administration of the city. It dialogues to some aspects of comic irony, such as the exaggeration and pun, to demonstrate how these elements work together as a discourse, which is an important characteristic for the composition of the part and which by women take the power of the city. We try to analyze the images related to the weave- spin that exemplifies the relationship between creating / narration, in order to demonstrate the feminine imagery that makes up the work. We used, as a guide for our research, the concepts of hero, arete, identity and imagination to confirm our thinking about the social and political aspects of women in ancient Greece. Among the theoretical underpinning our research are the classic reference works such as Homer and Hesiod , the studies of Vernant (1977, 2001) , Silva (1983, 2007), Brandão ( 1985, 1987 ) and POMPEU (1997, 2004).
