Abstract

Cassandra Rios’ works, while occupying a marginal position in the Brazilian literary canon, can be seen as a battlefield where forces both build up and destroy the idea of a stable lesbian identity. If, on the one hand, there is an attempt at legitimizing lesbianism, on the other hand there is a more subtle, subterranean and erratic writing which destabilizes this identity by bringing to fore a series of transformations, both linguistic and diegetic, which suggest multiple ways of being.
