SUMMARY:

In literature, the male figure almost always represented leadership and occupied a position of superiority, this was reflected in the way women were represented in literature. Despite the invisibility of the female voice and the female body being presented in the literary field, generally, in a sexualized way and in the condition of submission to the Christian religion, some authors promoted a break with this canonical system, and brought female characters who were “ladies of their wills”, suggesting the breaking of the thought that was based on the canon, promoting, then, the neutralization of the order of masculine force, considered as universal and legitimized through the discourses. Jorge Amado, for example, was one of the authors of Brazilian Literature who broke with national boundaries and gained worldwide notoriety with his vast literary production and several novels that narrate stories permeated by historical, social and cultural issues in the country. In this sense, we developed a literary analysis of the work “O Sumiço da Santa”, by Jorge Amado, in order to understand how the cultural processes related to the sexuality and religiosity of the characters Adalgisa and Manola, and the female representation in the field of studies literary. For this, the research was oriented from the Cultural Studies of Post-Modernity, with emphasis on issues related to identity, social representations and female sexuality. The general objective of the research is to understand how religion influences the construction of female sexuality in the aforementioned work. As for the specific objectives, we investigated how the understanding of the cultural processes related to the sexuality and religiosity of the characters Adalgisa and Manola took place, how this process is represented in literature and how the female figure is represented in the literary field. Therefore, based on the following guiding question: How does religiosity influence the construction of female characters in the work “O sumiço da Santa: uma história de sorceria”?, we seek to prove that, in the work in question, the processes related to sexuality are influenced by of patriarchal religion and that are presented in a less liberating way for the women in the work.
