Entre o princípio esperança e o jogo da liberdade : do brincar em Winnicott à escrita de mulheres no Wattpad.

Abstract

Some authors treat naming as an ambitious task. Naming something would be recognizing it in some way, distinguishing it from other things, which implies elevating its importance. Thus, in order to offer greater visibility for women’s writing, we developed a study that seeks to name what Lucia Castello Branco defined as “who calls me”. In this sense, we question what would lead women to write even in the midst of an adverse reality, in which their works and achievements are relegated as constructions of a second sex and, therefore, diminished. Thus, this work is divided into two articles: in the first, we will highlight women’s writing, creativity and the principle of hope and, in the second, we will focus on playing as an action present on Wattpad that would trigger a game of freedom. Thus, through mapping in Winnicott’s works concepts such as creativity, potential space and becoming, we understand that women’s writing is part of what we call the hope principle, an impulse that begins in creativity, present in all human beings who had a healthy development along the lines of Winnicott, and which, in a certain way, culminate a game of freedom, developed mainly on the multiplatform Wattpad, in the interaction between authors and readers. To enrich our study, we used a qualitative research approach, through which we made some excerpts from texts posted on the social media platform X, formerly Twitter, to highlight the speeches of Wattpad users about this movement of hope and freedom.
