GOIS, Edma Cristina de. Roles created, roles fabricated in the novel Nada a Dizer, by Elvira Vigna. Diacrítica [online]. 2013, vol.27, n.3, pp.235-251. ISSN 0807-8967.
The city guides and organizes family, sexual and social relationships, distributing the life of individuals into public and private domains. The city divides social positions and locations of the individuals at home. According to Elizabeth Grosz, the bodies are individualized, becoming subject. The house, thought of as a microspace of the city, as well as concentration of the family structure, is co-responsible for the formation of the subject and the reproduction or rupture of certain gender roles. In this sense, the house also builds gender through a body, because in it there is both the repetition of performative acts and attempts of not realizing a pattern. In the novel Nada a dizer [Nothing to say] by the Brazilian writer Elvira Vigna, the house is either the wall that separates new from old representations or the shelter for other possibilities of narrating the female corporeality.
