abstract
This article analyzes the poem "a ideia da mulher", by Geraldo Carneiro, that appears in Balada do impostor (2006), trying to observe its relation with the troubadour topic of the panegyric of the beloved woman, studied by Segismundo Spina (2009). It seeks to interpret the poem contrasting the mode and the effect that the use of the topic may have in the production of contemporary verses based on themes of such remote origin (XIII century) and of such different ideological support: the misogyny that runs through the idealistic praise of the troubadours.
