Personificação mística da mulher materializada no medievo: voz do eu feminino e a representação na escrita literária

Abstract

Many stereotypes weigh on the Middle Ages, claims Umberto Eco. It is necessary to think what it is not, and above all what it left us today as resonances of its time in the various social practices. In general, this research follows the paths of historiography in permanent dialogue with language regarding the daily life of medieval women as trainers and builders of medieval erudite thought. For this purpose, we will use literature as an instrument of comparison, exposure and discussion on the aspects that involve the writing of these women with regard to private / public life as well as monastic life, and how their intellectual contribution during the Middle Ages was consolidated in Western historiography . Following the assumptions of Cultural History, we will approach, from the field of investigation of the History of Women, the elements of female voices present in texts coined by their own hands, which demonstrates the importance of the relationship between work and social context
