SUMMARY:

The trajectory of female authors in Brazilian literature is marked by declines and peaks that are closely linked to the history of women in society. From 1960 onwards, narratives that make women the central element in the unfolding of the plot appear in national written production with more scope to present and discuss the female universe from a perspective of breaking the stereotypes that are socially rigid through the crystallization of the patriarchal system. Thus, in the context of postmodernity, a group of female writers emerges who are tasked with challenging the country's literary parameters through the art of words. In Bocas de mel e fel (2011), by Nilza Rezende, the protagonist, Irene, mimics the typical woman of the aforementioned context in her identity construction and performance in the face of a romantic relationship full of love and eroticism experienced with two men, her cousin, Antônio, and the university professor, Pablo. In view of the above, this study has as its main objective: to present and discuss the representations of women and the faces of love in Bocas de mel e fel (2011). To this end, the research, based on a qualitative basis, with the application of the bibliographic review technique, seeks to analyze the text of the aforementioned author based on the principles of textual criticism in line with the application of theories based on Cultural Studies, with the aim of carrying out a complete interpretation of the literary text, respecting its artistic character. Therefore, the present study is organized into four chapters that list the main topics related to the central theme discussed. The theoretical contribution used to support the discussions, about the perspectives of feminism and female authorship in Brazil, brings together authors such as Hooks (2019; 2024); Duarte (2003); Xavier (1996) and Zinani (2011). Furthermore, to address the representations of the feminine in the analyzed text, the conceptual contributions of Kolontai (2009) and Zinani (2011) were consulted. Teixeira (2009); Zolin (2009) and Hall (2006) and, to support the considerations made about the faces of love in the plot, we used the epistemologies of Paz (1994); Bauman (2004); Costa (1998); Menezes (2007); Oltramari (2009); Almeida and Lomônaco (2018) and Neves (2007). The results pointed out in the structural, semantic and discursive analyses of Bocas de mel e fel (2011) expressed the identity fragmentation of the character Irene in the face of this new social context, being possible to classify her as a woman of the transitory type (Cf. Kolontai, 2009), as well as to identify the presence of two faces of love personified from the subjects with whom the protagonist relates, namely romantic love and confluent love. Between honey and bile is the woman in search of building her own identity.
