Abstract

This work aims at analyzing the novels Surfacing (1972) and Lady Oracle (1976), by Margaret Atwood, focusing on the construction of the protagonist-narrators’ subjectivities. We believe that, through feminist and post-structuralist strategies, the author unveils the fictionality character embedded in the core of the subject’s formation, who is continuously elaborating their identity through language. Works by Chris Weedon, Coral Ann Howells, Andrea Saad Hossne, among others, will be the theoretical apparatus for this investigation.
