“…Trata-se de pensar como a literatura, enquanto produtora de saberes sobre os povos, construiu a imagem da colonização a partir de metáforas sexuais e, portanto, eróticas, que dialogam com a visão patriarcal em torno do corpo feminino. Desse modo, o episódio da Ilha dos Amores é um exemplo da erótica colonial na Literatura Portuguesa. …”
