Mulheres de Vésperas: curadoria polifônica e escrita de morte em perspectiva comparada

Abstract

In Vésperas, written in 2002, the writer from Santa Catarina, Adriana Lunardi builds female literary characters based on authors who have composed the literary scene in recent centuries: Virginia Woolf, Dorothy Parker, Clarice Lispector, Ana Cristina, Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette, Katherine Mansfield, Sylvia Plath, Zelda Fitzgerald and Júlia da Costa. Lunardi fictionalizes and creates short stories that address the anxieties that each of them may have faced in their last moments of life, but fictionalizing them, and relates these last moments with other lives and plots. In order to develop this thesis, the concepts of biography, biobibliography and writing of death were discussed. Furthermore, curating was analysed as a term taken from art and its dialogue, in literature, with polyphony Aiming to understand Vespers as a polyphonic curatorial work. As main theoretical contribution, we use the works of Bakhtin (2018a; 2018b), Lejeune (2014), Benjamin (2012), Bloom (1991), Azevedo (2018), Villa-Forte (2018; 2019), Ariès (2003; 2014), Minois (2018; 2019), Morin (1997) and Sontag (1984) with the aim of defining the basic concept, coined by us, which supports this thesis: polyphonic curation. Theoretical-scientific studies on biography, biobibliography, polyphony, memory and curating aim to understand different voices in the narratives, in addition to discuss the fictionalization processes of characters-writers, since different ways of thinking about the final moments revisited by each of the authors that make up Lunardi's tales.
