RESUMO:

This dissertation examines the relationships between virility, power, and narrative aesthetics in José Eduardo Agualusa's novel 'A Rainha Ginga', focusing on the theme of the virilization of the feminine gender. The general objective is to explore how literature, through Agualusa's work, offers a historical interpretation of gender and power relations. The adopted methodology is an exploratory qualitative literature review, using detailed literary analyses and historical contextualizations to deepen the understanding of the work. 'A Rainha Ginga' goes beyond a simple novel, acting as a narrative that challenges gender norms and encourages reflection on female virility in a historical and literary context. This study highlights Agualusa's ability to recreate the historical figure of Queen Ginga, transforming her into an eternal symbol of struggle for dignity and freedom. Through his narrative, Agualusa not only reveres the past but also challenges the prevailing historical narrative, promoting a renewed understanding of women's role in the spectrum of power. This work interweaves history, literature, and memory, enriching contemporary Angolan literature and providing significant contributions to the global study of gender, empowerment, and Afrocentrism. Thus, 'A Rainha Ginga' is an essential vehicle for the discussion of gender, power, and identity, demonstrating the power of literature in understanding and reinterpreting history.
