Industrial Park, Pagu's proletarian novel
Keywords:
Pagu; Industrial Park; São Paulo; Intersectional Feminism.Abstract
This article aims to show that "Parque Industrial" is not a linear narrative; it consists of scenes that compose a mosaic of working-class life, class oppression, labor struggles, the Marxist view of surplus value, sexual assaults, and the difficulties that affect women, especially. Despite fitting into the social realism of the 1930s, it has a feminist point of view and, in formal terms, it was modernist, fragmented, in dialogue with Cubist aesthetics and futurism. Since Pagu addressed issues that affected women workers, such as prostitution, sexuality, promiscuity, it did not receive approval from the Party.
