RESUMO:

In Cisne branco, by Evel Rocha, and especially from the protagonist Selma, it appears that the identity of the characters is shaped in a moldable way, differentiating themselves from the physics considered solid and inflexible present in modern Cape Verdean literature. In this work, Selma narrates her experiences in the midst of a subordination. The protagonist seeks to identify herself with the image of a white swan that portrays for her everything she has always wanted to be, an independent woman, but falls into contradiction by becoming a hostage to male dominance to the point of submitting to prostitution as a means more easy to fulfill your wishes. For having a moldable and fragmented identity, individualism and the breakdown of routine activities are constant in his life, providing many displacements and self-degradation concomitant with the space around her. In this sense, this paper discusses elements related to the protagonist, such as prostitution, gender violence and her trajectory in which an identity in crisis is verified. Selma seeks her emancipation with advances and relapses, but she cannot let go of the male domination that prevents her emancipation as a woman. For that, the work had the theoretical support of Giddens (1991), Ulrick Beck (2012), Zygmunt Bauman (2001), Homi Bhabha (2013), Pierre Bourdieu (2012), Simone Caputo Gomes (2008), Benilde Caniato (2005), Lúcia Zolin ( 2003), Heloísa Buarque de Hollanda (1994), Gayati Spivak (2018), Michel Foucault (2009) and Simone de Beauvoir (2000), among others.
