Resumo
This is my first essay. An attempt to find myself from a thinking-essayistic-affective writing. Coming
into contact with the essay through the cinema has revived in me the desire to question myself
and the world around me. In this writing, I joined eight women, Ana, Cecília, Dandara, Diana,
Ket, Laura, Letícia (me), Pollyana and Virna, my affective subjects. Collectively, we thought
about feminine issues based on the visualization of the essay-film Elena, directed by Brazilian
filmmaker Petra Costa. We held two online meetings in which we presented images (photographs,
cinematographic scenes, poetry, lesbopoesies, short stories, illustrations, paintings) that appeared
as we watched Elena. With these images in hand, I began to walk the path in order to think about
my problem-issue: the possibility of extending Deleuze's concept of the dividual by taking the
feminine as a perspective. To this end, I brought the images of my affective subjects closer to
blackboards and made visual montages inspired by Abby Warburg's Atlas Mnemosyne. In the
gaps, traces, ashes that these approximations left, we perceive a plural, fluid, collective feminine,
which is built from our occupations with the world. We realized that the affective essay methodology
created here allowed our experiences to be exposed and seen as important, as dividual. We
have seen that it is possible to think of the feminine dividual, which contemplates all the particularity
of becoming a woman. My intention is not to exhaust this study, but to create others from
this reflection. The feminine dividual is an open concept and can be judged, refuted, considered or
be wrong.
