Abstract

The Creation Myth is a narrative from Christian literature that explains the origin of life, in which the world would have been created by God, who created the first man, Adam, and the first woman, Eve. The different exhibitions of the Myth allow us to observe through temporal cracks in time arranged on the biblical texts that Eve would not have been the first woman. Before her, there would have been Lilith who, through time, was stigmatized for not having submitted to the masculine, it means Adam and God. The Creation Myth becomes main point to this research, of critical literature review, which aims to present how this narrative could create e propagate sexist and heterosexist values. It was possible to comprehend the role of discourse in this dynamic, as it has a productive power on the social scope. The researches came to the conclusion that sexism is not natural or organic, considering that the feminine and masculine conception is the result of a long process of social construction. Those discourses, being comprehended as the ones capable to mediate relations of power, constituent of the subjective, can influence, sustain and reproduce the thoughts and affects. On that basis, as a discourse to express the appearance of life based on religious institutions, which have great influence through the social consciousness, it was possible to comprehend the role of the Myth of Creation in the recreation and legitimation of the gender stereotypes and all the stigma above other sexualities not represented over the narrative.
