Title: Da encruzilhada, a palavra-pensante: a poética epistêmica de Miriam Alves Abstract: Esta investigación analiza lo que denomino poética epistémica en la obra de la escritora brasileña Miriam Alves, a partir de las novelas Bará na trilha do vento (2015) y Maréia (2019). El objetivo es comprender de qué manera la literatura puede operar simultáneamente como forma de enfrentamiento al epistemicidio y como espacio de fabulación crítica de la historia de la nación. Se parte del supuesto de que la representación literaria, especialmente cuando es producida por voces negras femeninas, posee la capacidad de tensionar saberes cristalizados en el imaginario social, proponiendo nuevas narrativas sobre la participación de la población negra en la formación nacional y sobre las dinámicas de las relaciones raciales en Brasil.El concepto de poética epistémica, desarrollado durante la investigación de maestría, se refiere a la comprensión de la estética literaria como un campo capaz de producir conocimiento, cuestionando y contraargumentando epistemologías hegemónicas. En las novelas de Miriam Alves se observa la movilización de saberes provenientes de las tradiciones religiosas afrobrasileñas, especialmente aquellos vinculados al culto a los orixás, que atraviesan la estructura narrativa y la composición simbólica de las obras, como lo indican los propios títulos, asociados a divinidades como Exu Bará, Iansã y Iemanjá.A partir de estas articulaciones, comprendo la estética de la encrucijada como un dispositivo literario y simbólico que articula múltiples saberes, tradiciones y formas de expresión. La encrucijada se configura, así, como un espacio de confluencia, pero también de confrontación simbólica, en el cual diferentes temporalidades, voces y cosmologías entran en relación. En este contexto, propongo también los conceptos de estética de las profundidades, poética de las confluencias y tesitura encrucijástica, entendida como un modo discursivo que organiza el texto literario a partir de múltiples cruces de voces, memorias y temporalidades, produciendo sentidos tanto por lo que se explicita como por la esfera de lo no dicho. Metodológicamente, la investigación realiza un análisis comparativo entre las dos novelas, examinando aspectos estructurales de la narrativa, como los repertorios de saber movilizados, en diálogo con la producción de la intelectualidad negra en América Latina, especialmente en Brasil. Además, la propia escritura de la tesis asume un gesto performativo, tensionando el estatuto históricamente elitizado del lenguaje académico e incorporando estrategias discursivas que dialogan con movimientos epistémicos desarrollados por investigadoras e investigadores negros en diferentes áreas, así como con la inserción de mis poemas como parte de ese lenguaje. De este modo, se busca evidenciar cómo la literatura puede constituirse como un espacio de insurgencia epistémica, contribuyendo a la elaboración crítica de la historia y a la ampliación de los horizontes interpretativos de la crítica literaria.

Title: Leitor de devaneios: imagens poéticas em A prisioneira, de Marcel Proust Abstract: This thesis analyzes the novel The Prisoner (2011), the fifth volume of In Search of Lost Time by Marcel Proust, through a methodology grounded in Gaston Bachelard’s phenomenology of reverie (1998). The Bachelardian poetic reverie is applied not merely as a theoretical category, but as a praxis of active reading capable of tracing the work’s imagery flow and memorialist poetry. This perspective provides an understanding of how poetic images unfold within the reader-dreamer’s memory, engendering new images and establishing a creative experience. To sustain this methodological horizon, the study articulates conceptual operators: Maurice Blanchot’s fragmentation (1990). He structures a critical investigation into time, memory, ephemerality, and the physical boundaries of the act of writing, composing a theoretical framework that directly dialogues with the Proustian texture. The research demonstrates how the narrator constructs a path of self-knowledge through romantic experiences and art, while simultaneously problematizing the notions of time and reality. The study finds tha Proustian temporality is organized by affects and involuntary memory, establishing its own logic of perception and representation of the world.

Title: Para além da Colônia Penal: corpos metamórficos e poética da insubmissão em A ponte, O novo advogado, Um relatório para uma academia e A metamorfose, de Franz Kafka Abstract: In recent decades, a fruitful debate concerning the connection and interrelation between the theme of the body and other fields of knowledge has reached modernity and contemporaneity, presenting increasingly dense levels of complexity. To further explore the problematic nature of the boundaries crossing discussions about the body, and to incorporate inquiries that rekindle the theme of metamorphoses, this study seeks—through the lens of insubmission—to analyze the concept of polysystems applied to literary analysis. Franz Kafka, whose literary production is situated within the context of modernity and contemporaneity, updates the theme of metamorphoses, placing special emphasis on the nature of the body and its ramifications as body/individual and body/society. The literary corpus of this research comprises the following texts by Franz Kafka: The Bridge, The New Advocate, A Report to an Academy, and The Metamorphosis. This study aims to analyze the compositional elements of these texts to establish a dialogue between the theme of the body and the legal issues raised throughout the narratives. The objective is to investigate how metamorphoses, as a literary device, aid in understanding fundamental aspects of the selected short stories, while also searching reader reception for evidence of a critique grounded in the confrontation between the logic of the body, formal logic, and/or the logic of the legal order. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the connection between the literary corpus and the question of the absurd regarding the situations experienced by the characters. The analysis highlights situations of resignation and a suffocating paralysis experienced by the characters in the face of events. Beyond perplexity, readers and researchers are left with the following question: what reasons compel them to endure such absurd conditions? In the essay Franz Kafka: Subversive Dreamer(2005), Michael Löwy asserts that the corpus engenders a critical dimension toward social structure and bureaucracy, revealing an insubmissive worldview through the metamorphosis of the characters. The methodological framework of this research, anchored in qualitative literary analysis, is based on a critical reading of the selected texts in dialogue with theoretical-critical references on Franz Kafka. The structure of this work is organized into the following axes: First, Second, Third, and Fourth Movements, which are interconnected by the theme and object of the research. The term "movement" chosen for the sections of this investigation also aims to emphasize the metamorphic nature of the dissertation’s own body (text), given that "movement" is a physics concept describing when a body changes its position relative to a frame of reference over a certain time interval. It is precisely this phenomenon that occurs during the reading of a text: there is a body in motion, and therefore, a metamorphosis of both the body of the text and the body of the reader

Title: O insólito caminho da ancestralidade em Conceição Evaristo Abstract: This thesis aims to analyze how Conceição Evaristo's literary and essayistic trajectory contributes to the understanding of the unusual narratives present in the work Histórias de Leves Enganos e Parecenças (2017). It starts from the hypothesis that such narratives do not fully fit into the traditional categories of the fantastic field, such as Animist Realism or Fantastic Realism, as they incorporate Black memories and ancestries that challenge these classifications and allow for a reading more aligned with Black-Brazilian life-writing. To support this proposition, the research also analyzes the works Ponciá Vicêncio (2003), Olhos d’água (2016), and Becos da Memória (2017), seeking to demonstrate the maturation of the categories of memory and ancestry throughout the author's writing. It is thus argued that this narrative reconfiguration promotes an epistemological reorganization in the reading of Conceição Evaristo's work and expands the possibilities for understanding black-fantastic narratives in Brazil.
