MELO, Sónia Rita. Adília Lopes or the Impersonal Third Woman. []. , 27, pp.129-141. ISSN 0874-5560.

The poetry of the Portuguese author Adília Lopes postulates a third way, a third body personified in writing and resists the classifications and the impositions of a cruel, unequal, and profoundly individualistic society. Through her impersonal stylistic mode, the author’s poetry inscribes itself within both the necessary revision of past models and a new textual perspective. Reading the adilian canon in the light of a gynocritical paradigm which fixes woman as a subject, rather than a mere object, we find the foundations and processes that construct the feminine and the masculine in the poetic tissue, as they are represented in Lopes’ poetry, in the author’s ironic handling of stereotypes and clichés.
