Jacinta Passos: poesia, política e devoção

Abstract

This thesis aims to analyze the work of the writer Jacinta Passos in order to identify in her poetry the devotional relationship with the sacred, from the identification with Christian symbols and to verify how this devotion moves to the relationship that she establishes with a political party, the PCB. We seek to establish a comparative study between his catholic poetry and that of the poets Murilo Mendes, Augusto Frederico Schmidt and Jorge de Lima. We also revisited the coverage of women's work during the Second World War through the Women's Page, in the newspaper O Imparcial. To proceed with the analysis, we used the field of Historiographic Studies, Cultural Studies and Feminist Criticism as the main theoretical contribution.
