QUANDO OS MITOS FEREM: CORPOS E VOZES NOS JOGOS DE PODER DA MITOLOGIA GREGA

Abstract

Resumo: Este artigo propõe uma leitura crítica da mitologia grega a partir do conceito foucaultiano de dispositivo e da teoria dos dispositivos de gênero de Valeska Zanello. Através da análise dos mitos de Hefesto, Corônis e Cassandra, o texto discute como narrativas míticas ainda operam como ferramentas simbólicas de controle social. O mito de Hefesto é interpretado à luz do capacitismo e da masculinidade hegemônica, revelando como corpos fora da norma são tolerados apenas quando úteis. Já os mitos envolvendo Apolo evidenciam dispositivos amorosos e maternos, expondo a violência simbólica e física sobre os corpos femininos, bem como a negação do saber e da autonomia das mulheres. Com base em autores como Foucault, Zanello, Saffioti e Campbell, o estudo busca mostrar como os mitos operam como instrumentos de subjetivação e manutenção das desigualdades. A metodologia é qualitativa, com base em análise teórico-conceitual e estudo de caso simbólico dos mitos. Conclui-se que a releitura crítica das narrativas míticas pode contribuir para a desconstrução de dispositivos de opressão e para a criação de novas possibilidades de subjetivação, mais plurais e justas. Palavras- chave: Mitologia Grega; Capacitismo; Dispositivos de gênero. Abstract: This article presents a critical reading of Greek mythology through the lens of Michel Foucault's concept of dispositif and Valeska Zanello's theory of gender dispositifs. By analyzing the myths of Hephaestus, Coronis, and Cassandra, the study explores how mythical narratives still function as symbolic tools of social control. Hephaestus' story is interpreted through the framework of ableism and hegemonic masculinity, highlighting how non-normative bodies are only accepted when deemed useful. The myths involving Apollo reveal romantic and maternal dispositifs, exposing symbolic and physical violence against female bodies, as well as the silencing of women's knowledge and autonomy. Drawing on Foucault, Zanello, Saffioti, and Campbell, the paper argues that myths operate as mechanisms of subjectivation and reinforcement of inequalities. The methodology is qualitative, based on theoretical analysis and symbolic case studies. The article concludes that critically revisiting mythological narratives can help deconstruct oppressive dispositifs and foster more plural and equitable forms of subjectivity. Keywords: Greek mythology; Gender dispositifs; Ableism.
