Moreover, Maurice presents a narrative that subverts homophobic beliefs through its portrayal of queerness. Maurice, escrito pelo renomado escritor inglês E. M. Forster, é um dos principais livros da literatura queer moderna. O objetivo deste trabalho é apresentar uma análise do retrato do queer em Maurice, discutindo a dinâmica entre as normas sociais da Inglaterra do início do século XIX e a homossexualidade no livro. Ademais, este trabalho visa ampliar o corpus de pesquisa existente e diversificar a análise literária no campo acadêmico. A análise foi realizada sob o prisma da teoria queer, principalmente através de uma lente foucaultiana. A metodologia consistiu em quatro etapas: leitura de Maurice acompanhada de anotações comentadas; extensa pesquisa de estudos prévios; processo de escrita; e edição e revisão do trabalho. A discussão e análise mostram o retrato do queer como um aspecto chave do material. Maurice retrata a imposição da heteronormatividade e a demonização da homossexualidade através da lei e do blackmail, da repugnância e pecaminosidade, e da homofobia internalizada. Além disso, Maurice apresenta uma narrativa que subverte as crenças homofóbicas através de seu retrato do queer. 2023-03-29T17:00:57Z 2023-03-29T17:00:57Z 2022-12-16 bachelorThesis IRUSTA, Ainoa Ingunza.
