Resumen

LENTINA, Alda Maria. Maria meu amor… Uma leitura de A Monja de Lisboa, de Agustina Bessa-Luís. Faces de Eva. Estudos sobre a Mulher [online]. 2024, n.51, pp.53-71.  Epub 30-Ene-2025. ISSN 0874-6885.  https://doi.org/10.34619/jmms-52xi.

As I consider the work A Monja de Lisboa by Agustina Bessa-Luís has a seminal place for the understanding of the whole historiographical production of this author, I propose to develop a reflection around the biographical genre, paying especial attention to the implications of the act of biographing and its impact on the image of the biographee. The reflections related to gender identity brought by the metabiographical method defined by Dhúill, will be used to show how the author seeks to question the “gender narratives” offered by the biographical texts she reinvests in her work to deconstruct them and be able to draw a new face for the historical figure, Maria da Visitação.

Palabras clave : A Monja de Lisboa; metabiography; gender narratives; women.
