Acesso em: .https://bdm.ufpa.br/handle/prefix/8052Feminist dystopias have established themselves as powerful critical tools by denouncing gender inequalities and the dangers of patriarchal authoritarianism, revealing structures of oppression and suggesting possibilities of resistance (Atwood, 1985; SarmentoPantoja, 2005; Bosi, 2002). This study aims to analyze Sleeping Beauties (2021), by Owen King and Stephen King, adapted into a graphic novel by Rio Youers, from the perspective of resistance literature, feminist dystopia, and gender theory. The work portrays a scenario in which women are affected by a mysterious phenomenon that causes them to fall asleep, enveloped in cocoons, making them inaccessible to the male world. This event triggers a series of reactions that highlight gender tensions, structural violence against women, and power dynamics in patriarchal societies. The research adopts a qualitative and bibliographic approach, conducting a critical analysis of the narrative based on studies of dystopia, resistance literature, and gender theory. The graphic adaptation intensifies the discussions on misogyny, gender violence, and female resistance, using visual elements to reinforce the social critique present in the original text. The analysis reveals how the work engages with the dystopian genre, feminist dystopia, resistance literature, and gender issues, proposing reflections on the role of women and the deconstruction of gender norms.Acesso AbertoSleeping BeautiesGraphic NovelDistopia FeministaLiteratura de ResistênciaTeoria de GêneroSleeping BeautiesGraphic NovelFeminist DystopiaResistance LiteratureGender TheoryCNPQ::LINGUISTICA, LETRAS E ARTES::LETRAS::LINGUAS ESTRANGEIRAS MODERNASTrabalho de Curso - Graduação - ArtigoAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International
