THE NEW NARRATIVE DISORDER – SUBJECT, TIME AND DISCOURSE CENTERED IN THE WOMEN'S NOVELS IN PORTUGAL

The paper tries to encompass and analyse "the other Portuguese revolution", the upheaval brought about in novels by Portuguese women writers between the sixties and the late eighties of the 20th-century. Taking as paradigmatic reference novels by Maria Velho da Costa, Teolinda Gersão and Maria Gabriela Llansol (besides many others, including male fiction), the paper points out the main aspects of this "new narrative disorder" on the level of polyphonic discourse, temporality and hybridization of genres.
