In Dulce Maria Cardoso's fiction, we come up with poetics of subversion which we will analyze in the light of queer theory, showing how the protagonists assume counter-heteronormative positions acting as forms of resistance against the oppressive order. If we are confronted with a discourse that evidences the clear separation of gender roles, we also see the emergence of figures who participate in the deconstruction of the binarisms conveyed by the dominant bourgeois morality. Rejecting socially instituted behavior models, these identities undermine the foundations of patriarchy, contributing to the affirmation of emancipatory and liberating tendencies in a changing country.
