Resumo: The concept of androgyny has had many meanings through history, from a Platonic idea of androgynous dual bodies derived from sexual division to Foucault’s conceptualization of modern homosexuality. In this dissertation, we argue that Angela Carter proposes a new meaning to this phrase by defining androgyny as a form of relation between individuals that overcomes the inherently oppressive terms of sexualized existences. We analyze Carter’s novel The Passion of New Eve and her libretto Orlando, or the Enigma of the Sexes in order to theorize what we name relational androgyny. In order to do that, we use an archeological method, based on Foucault’s The Archeology of Knowledge, and we develop analyses of Carter’s essay The Sadeian Woman and the Ideology of Pornography. We argue that, by introducing the relational factor into the discussion of androgyny, Angela Carter disrupts the concept of androgyny itself. That is to say, that by adding a new wine to an old bottle, she causes the bottle to explode. Keywords: androgyny; Angela Carter; queer theory; English literature

Keywords: androgyny; Angela Carter; queer theory; English literatureO conceito de androginia teve muitos significados através da história, desde uma ideia platônica de corpos duais andróginos derivados da divisão sexual até a conceituação foucaultiana de homossexualidade moderna. Nesta dissertação, defendemos que Angela Carter propõe um novo significado para esse sintagma ao definir a androginia como uma forma de relação entre indivíduos que supera os termos necessariamente opressivos das existências sexuadas. Analisamos o romance de Carter A Paixão da Nova Eva e seu libreto Orlando, or the Enigma of the Sexes de modo a teorizar o que chamamos de androginia relacional. Usamos uma metodologia arqueológica baseada em A Arqueologia do Saber de Foucault e desenvolvemos análises acerca do ensaio de Carter A Mulher de Sade e a Ideologia da Pornografia. Argumentamos que, ao introduzir o fator relacional à discussão acerca da androginia, Angela Carter desmonta a própria ideia de androginia; isto é, ao adicionar um vinho novo a uma garrafa velha, ela leva a garrafa a explodir.
