description This paper analyses the children’s story Ane Mona & Hulda by Jenny Jordahl, applying feminist didactics and hermeneutics proposed by feminist literary theory. By adopting this approach, we can gain insight into a different way of thinking that challenges heterocentrism and renders lesbianism visible. Furthermore, by altering the perspective of the conventional reading setting, we can uncover other discourses, such as  lesbianism, and thus critique the heterocentric bias. Within the feminist didactic approach, dialogue and reflection are the key methods, and reading is the medium that enables meaning-making. The conclusion is that, despite the imposition of heterosexuality as a norm by the homogenous social order that is reproduced by school and literature, the story provides the necessary resources to transform the experiential realm and reveal lesbianism as a natural orientation from an early age.

El presente artículo analiza y reflexiona sobre el cuento infantil Ane Mona y Hulda de Jenny Jordahl (2020), a partir de la aplicación de una didáctica feminista y de la hermenéutica propuestas por la teoría literaria feminista. Este enfoque permite apreciar la presencia de un imaginario alternativo al heterocentrismo que visibiliza el lesbianismo. Por esto, una ampliación de los corpus de lectura permite reparar en modos de vida acallados, como el lesbianismo, y así cuestionar el discurso heterocéntrico imperante. En el espacio de la didáctica feminista, el diálogo y la reflexión componen el método; en complemento, la lectura es el marco a través del cual se hace posible la significación. Se concluye que, aunque se parte de una heterosexualidad obligatoria, producto de un orden social homologado y reproducido por la escuela y la literatura, el cuento ofrece las herramientas necesarias para transformar el universo experiencial y visibilizar el lesbianismo como una orientación natural desde edades tempranas. Este artigo analisa e reflecte sobre o conto infantil Ane Mona e Hulda de Jenny Jordahl, aplicando uma didática feminista que se apoia na investigação e na hermenêutica propostas pela teoria literária feminista. Esta abordagem permite apreciar a presença de um imaginário alternativo ao heterocentrismo que dá visibilidade ao lesbianismo. O alargamento do repertório textual permite ler e ver como funcionam os modos de vida silenciados e desnormalizar o discurso dominante. No espaço da didática feminista, o diálogo e a reflexão são o método, e a leitura é o enquadramento através do qual o significado se torna possível. Concluise que, embora o ponto de partida seja uma heterossexualidade obrigatória, produto de uma ordem social homologada reproduzida pela escola e pela literatura, o conto oferece as ferramentas necessárias para transformar o universo vivencial e tornar visível o lesbianismo como uma orientação natural desde tenra idade.
