| Sumario: | Virginia Woolf constantly calls us to reflect upon gender issues. Her literary work deals with male imposition and the consequent female subjugation that leads to social imbalance. In this article, we will return to such matters around the construction of a patriarchal society accentuated by the bases of symbolic power (Bourdieu, 2000). Money, as an object of economic and vital dispute, becomes an unproductive means. In this sense, our analysis will focus on the functional logic of money for artistic and reflective purposes, which will lead to a consequent unproductiveness. In order to do this, we will address two chapters of the novels Orlando (1928) and A Room of One's Own (1929). |
