Abstract
The issues involving the debate around gender and family, traditionaly addressed under
an extremely categorical bias, have always left gaps for multiple interpretations and
context correlations. To think about the values and rules which act at the expense of
subject's freedom, controlling bodies and ways of expressing subjectivity, can provide
not only a better understanding on the simbolical/ideological conflict between the
family and gender diversity, but, above all, generate new practical approach
propositions fos the conflicts which are inherent to those concepts. Breaking the
etnographic pragmatism that almost always conducts the surveys on family and gender
in the university, we propose the utilization of two classics of brazillian literature,
published in the firs half of the last century, as analysis instrument of the conflicts
which destabilize these notions. "O quinze", published by Raquel de Queiroz in 1930
and "Menino de engenho", published by José Lins do Rego in 1932, are works included
in a very meaningful period of brazillian history, a period of great social
transformations, a lot of it due to the beginning of the industrialization process and the
afirmation of democracy. Therefore, this dissertation work seeks to formulate an
analytical reflection about our socialization processes, understanding the institutional
atuation as a cohesion and coercion element in behavior, implying in the control of
personal subjectivities referencing the bureaucratic statements of the patrimonialism and
the patriarchy. We understand that ficcional literature offers the possibility to analyse
the gender conflicts and family notions, considering all the complexity in vogue in this
relation, under a perspective that not only differs from the etnographical survey, but
adds a series of intersections and mmovements beyond the technical rulings of the
academy. In a last sense, we desire to present, trough literary contribution, the
development of the historical conflicts that pervade the gender and family concepts in
the brazillian society, aiming to forge a new sociological research perspective, from the
referential provided by
