Abstract

The aim of this paper is to analyze the grotesque body in Jorge Amado’s novel, Dona Flor and her two husbands, regarding the freedom of woman in dealing with her body and the relationship established between food and sex in the narrative. In order to understand how the medieval mentality about this theme is actively manifested in this  book,  we  base ourselves on Baktin (2010) and the Theory of Literary and Cultural Residuality, a theoretical and investigative proposal systematized by Roberto Pontes. This can be summarized as follows: in culture and literature nothing is original, everything is residual; and it uses the following operative concepts: residue, crystallization, mentality and cultural hybridity.
