Item Verbalizando morcegos estritamente pessoais & intransferíveis: narrativa e experiência em Morangos mofados, de Caio Fernando Abreu(Universidade Federal de Goiás, 2019-10-09) Coimbra, Rosicley Andrade; Camargo, Flávio Pereira; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5015485726957185; Camargo, Flávio Pereira; Pereira, André Luis Mitidieri; Ginzburg, Jaime; Paula, Marcelo Ferraz de; Faria, Zênia deThe present thesis aims to investigate two issues in the book Morangos Mofados (1982) by Caio Fernando Abreu: narrative and experience. We start from the idea that this book has great representation within the Brazilian literature because it arises at a tense moment in the Brazilian political scene: the years of transition from the military regime (1964-1985) to the redemocratization. In this sense, Morangos Mofados can be read as a set of stories in which the traumatic experiences of the military regime are configured in their narratives, as well as the inability to narrate the defeat of a generation marked by authoritarianism. Through a bibliographical research we intend to investigate how the stories of the various individuals who live in the book are represented. At first, we detected characters still stuck in the past, but feeling the overwhelming weight of the present, are soon unable to verbalize their experiences or make future and collective projects. At another time, the characters will face images of themselves and an instant of confronting the past. The fragmentation of narratives is an indicative that the context required new forms of representation and literature itself abandoned the path of engagement and sought new paths. From this perspective, Morangos Mofados will make a deep critical reflection about the experiences of Brazil’s recent past, involving the consequences of the military dictatorship and the inability to narrate about these events. The melancholy that permeates the stories, as well as the insistence on narrating and the fragmentation can be seen as forms of rewriting of the recent history of the country, using files that translate this moment by the literary way, finding in the anonymous matter propitious to tell the other side of history – a history against the grain. The theoretical and critical studies of Walter Benjamin, Giorgio Agamben, Jeanne Marie Gagnebin, Silviano Santiago, Idelber Avelar, Nelly Richard and others will be primordial to think about issues related to the crisis of the transmissibility of experience and aspects of postdictatorial literature, while reflections of Jaime Ginzburg, Flora Süssekind, Luana Teixeira Porto, Arturo Gouveia, among others, will have a relevant role in the analyzes of Morangos mofados.Item Costurando a vida com fios de ferro: mulheres negras no limiar entre a vida e a morte em Olhos d’água, de Conceição Evaristo(Universidade Federal de Goiás, 2022-02-22) Cruz, Lorrany Andrade da; Camargo, Flávio Pereira; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5015485726957185; Rezende, Tânia Ferreira; Dias, Luciene de Oliveira; Camargo, Flávio PereiraIn this dissertation we aim to investigate the female condition of the Black characters in the short story collection Olhos d’água (2014), by Conceição Evaristo, an important writer of Brazilian literature and contemporary Black literature. For this, we analyzed how these Black Brazilian women experience and manifest (talking about manifestation, denunciation), in their time-place, structural oppressions related to colonialism, such as racism, sexism and classism, as observed by Grada Kilomba (2019), considering the way female characters are silenced and how they face this silencing. In the selected short stories, the protagonists are on the threshold between life and death, and in three of them, violence leads to physical death. The concept of poetic Ferocity, created by Franciane Silva (2018), is relevant. This refers to the way violent scenarios in the literature of Afro-Brazilian writers, like Evaristo, are constructed with intense poeticity. From this, we ponder about the latent necropolitics in the reality of these characters and how Evaristo's writing, when speaking of death poetically, humanizing her characters, also speaks about life politics. The preference for this author and her work occurs from a latent need in contemporary times to notice and pay attention to gender issues intersected with issues of race and class without the need to rank them, as Djamila Ribeiro (2019) tells us, and to observe how these categories intersect in the perspective of Black feminism, seeking to break with a split created by an unequal, patriarchal and heterosexist society. The study of the self-representation of the Black woman will allow us to elaborate a reflection on Black feminism and Black literature, as we understand the importance of a Black woman writer, who breaks with the hegemonic discourse and with the colonizing perspective on her body, identity and sexuality (COLLINS apud BERTH, 2018).Item A literatura além do impresso: “inespecificidades” em Os famosos e os duendes da morte, de Ismael Caneppele, e Terminal, de Flávio Komatsu(Universidade Federal de Goiás, 2020-08-28) Dias, Giselia Rodrigues; Camargo, Flávio Pereira; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5015485726957185; Camargo, Flávio Pereira; Garramuño, Florencia; Rocha, Rejane Cristina; Ribeiro, Renata Rocha; Bezerra, Valéria CristinaThis doctorate thesis has as investigative interest two works of the contemporary Brazilian fiction – Os famosos e os duendes da morte (The famous ones and the dwarfs of death), by Ismael Caneppele (2010), and Terminal (Terminal), by Flávio Komatsu (2018). The main goal of this analysis is to observe the way how each romance answers to, in the ambits of their production, circulation, material formalization, as well as about its formal/thematic options and in the reading practices that make it possible and/or request, to a culture context and digital textualities. So, in order to admit that a concept of literature, anchored in an autonomous/a closed disciplinary paradigm, is no longer able to cover the literary scenario in digital contemporaneity, it is that this research makes use of an expanded perspective to think about the “mismatches” of consolidated categories or the “non-specificities” (the expression is by Florencia Garramuño, 2014) of/in the textualities that face the challenges - potentialities/contingencies - of digital media. The methodology of this research, which is of bibliographic nature, contemplates the theoretical-critical studies formulated by Canclini (2016), Garramuño (2014), Laddaga (2012), Ludmer (2010), Kluscinskas and Moser (2007), Jenkins (2009) , Bolter and Grusin (2000), Resende (2008), Rocha (014; 2016; 2018; 2019; 2020), among others. We hope that the results contribute to the debate about how literary is configured in digital contemporaneity, and endorse the reflections/problematizations about the expansion of fields, so urgent and necessary so that many textualities of the contemporary scene are not excluded or made invisible.Item Configurações do homoerotismo e da homofobia em quatro narrativas juvenis contemporâneas(Universidade Federal de Goiás, 2022-02-21) Farias, Ronaldo Soares; Camargo, Flávio Pereira; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5015485726957185; Camargo, Flávio Pereira; Silva, Antônio de Pádua Dias da; Silva, Luciano Ferreira da; Araújo, Rubra Pereira de; Sales, Paulo Alberto da SilvaThis thesis investigates the configurations of homoeroticism and homophobia in four contemporary youth narratives, namely Hermes Bernardi Júnior’s Eu é um outro (2014); Plínio Camillo’s O namorado do papai ronca (2012); Michael Barakiva’s One man guy (2015); and David Levithan’s Boy meets boy (2015). The aim is to analyze the characters’ multiple homoerotic configurations in different spaces of socialization, among which the markedly oppressive and homophobic school environment, in addition to proposing a discussion on the “closet” as a device that very often regulates homosexuals’ lives. The thesis is founded upon the hypothesis that the homophobia present in the novels emerges from the social construction that establishes the heterosexuality supremacy in affective relationships. In that regard, the characters of the novels find themselves subjected to homophobic and violent situations built upon social structures that regulate the heteronormativity, purporting it as natural, thereby generating inequality, violence, and discrimination among the individuals that represent sexual diversity. School, family, and other spaces of socialization are also based upon this ideology of the heterosexist hegemony which oppresses the sexual minorities and perpetrate unjustifiable sanctions on behalf of a subjectivity in relation to sexuality. This is a bibliographical study with an exploratory methodology, which permits the contact with theories on gender, sexuality, cultural studies and queer studies. From a post-structuralist perspective related to gender and sexuality studies, we propose, to begin with, theoretical and critical references such as Even Kosofsky Sedgwick (1985,2007), Michel Foucault (1981, 1988, 2015), Daniel Borrillo (2010), Judith Butler (2015, 2018a, 2018b), Guacira Lopes Louro (1995, 1997, 2009, 2015, 2018), Tomaz Tadeu da Silva (2012), Kathryn Woodward (2012), Didier Eribon (2008), Erving Goffman (2008), Georges Bataille (2013), Jurandir Freire Costa (1992), among others. We hope that this discussion will contribute to a reflection about the importance of accepting and welcoming sexual minorities and establishing equality without gender distinction.Item As representações críticas da homofobia nas narrativas Em nome do desejo, de João Silvério Trevisan, e Brokeback mountain, de Annie Proulx(Universidade Federal de Goiás, 2022-03-10) Gil, Frederic Grieco Deij Moral; Camargo, Flávio Pereira; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5015485726957185; Camargo, Flávio Pereira; Butturi Junior, Atilio; Silva, Antonio de Pádua Dias da; Fernandes, Carlos Eduardo Albuquerque; Fonseca, Pedro Carlos LouzadaIn this thesis, I comparatively study the theme of homophobia in the novel Em nome do desejo (In the name of desire), by the Brazilian writer João Silvério Trevisan (1985), originally published in 1983, and in the short story Brokeback Mountain, by the American writer Annie Proulx (2003, 2006), whose first version was published in The New Yorker in 1997. I defend the hypothesis that these narratives engender critical representations of homophobia and the Western hegemonic ideal of masculinity. Therefore, I aim to analyze the configurations of these representations, mainly taking into account the homoerotic relationship between the characters João/Tiquinho and Abel Rebebel, in the novel Em nome do desejo, and Ennis del Mar and Jack Twist, in the short story Brokeback Mountain. This work of comparative literature adopts a stance of cultural critique, having as its central point a reflection on the precariousness of the lives of homoerotically inclined subjects in a profoundly homophobic culture like ours. Thus, given the aforementioned thematic axis, the relationship between literature, history, and society is extensively addressed throughout the thesis by drawing on reflections prompted by Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick (1985, 2007), Jurandir Freire Costa (1992), Michel Foucault (1999, 2012, 2014, 2015, 2016), Didier Eribon (2008), Georges Bataille (2014), Daniel Borrillo (2016), Judith Butler (2016, 2019a, 2019b), and other authors. The concepts of disciplining bodies, heterosexism, gender performativity, homophobia, social dispositifs, homoeroticism, and homoerotic closet are fundamental for the hermeneutic development of this literary study.Item Corpo, voz e resistência; a (des)construção da representação feminina nas obras poéticas de Elizandra Souza e Luiza Romão(Universidade Federal de Goiás, 2018-02-05) Lousa, Pilar Lago e; Camargo, Flávio Pereira; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5015485726957185; Camargo, Flávio Pereira; Borges, Luciana; Ribeiro, Renata RochaThe female authorship in the marginal-peripheral literature emerged in the national scene, right in the beginning of the 21 st century, as aesthetical, literary and social criticism, questioning the traditional standards regarding female representation both in the literary canon and in the society. Inscribed in the item of the marginal-peripheral literature, Elizandra Souza, from soirées movements, and Luiza Romão, representing the scene of the slams, reject the traditional intermediaries in the editorial market, such as editors and journalists. Thus, they found a way of resistance and bring about the voice of the women so far silenced, through discursive representation of the female condition of marginalized women, problematizing, above all, issues regarding female identity, their bodies and the places they occupy in society. This self-representation of the female condition, unveiled by the poems, traditionally faces the following ways of subordination: by the gender bias, the economic and geographical situation and often by the race bias. In a process that initially deconstructs to reconstruct the female representation, some paradigms, myths and taboos are broken, which reveals a body that no longer accepts the abjection imposed, becoming subject of its own speech. This way, this work has the objective of verifying how poetry and literary and linguistic intrinsic processes materialize this body that is able to unveil the woman inscribed in the marginal-peripheral literature, her identity and her specific demands. A voice that arises under the sign of the resistance, public space appropriation, of placing the feminine in an outstanding position to no longer let it be object of somebody else’s speech, but subject of the voice of these women. To achieve such goals, poems of the authors Elizandra Souza, from the books Punga (2007) and Águas da Cabaça (2012), and Luiza Romão, from the book Coquetel Motolove (2014), and only one poem from her homonymous page on Facebook shall beanalyzed from a theoretical-critical perspective of studies in gender and feminism. The analyses of this study are divided into 3 chapters. The first chapter is dedicated to the marginal-peripheral literature from São Paulo, its main assumptions and the understanding of soirée and slams movements, and women inscribed in this literature. The main authors whose theoretical support is going to be used are: Jéssica Balbino (2016), Roberta Estrela D’alva (2014), Carlos Cortez Minchillo (2016), Érica Peçanha do Nascimento (2009) and Lucía Tennina (2013; 2015a; 2015b). In the chapter regarding Elizandra Souza’s poetry, themes such as black ancestry and beauty are going to be addressed and the studies of Conceição Evaristo (2005; 2009), Eduardo de Assis Duarte (2009), Bell Hooks (2014), Djamila Ribeiro (2015), Sueli Carneiro (2003; 2016), Lélia Gonzalez (2016), Amanda Braga (2015), Kimberlé Crenshaw (2002) are going to be recaptured. In the third chapter, the poetry of Luiza Romão is going to be discussed and for such, we shall use the knowledge of Silvia Federici (2017), Elisabeth Grosz (2000), Michelle Perrot (2003), Rebecca Solnit (2017) and Rachel Soihet (2001). To verify the issues of female representation and performance, shared by the two authors, the theoretical background of Avtar Brah (2006), Elaine Showalter (1993; 1994), Elizabeth Grosz (2000); Érica Nascimento (2009; 2015), Guacira Lopes Louro (2010), Leda Martins (2003; 2007), Paul Zumthor (2014), Pierre Bourdieu (1983; 2002), Sara Ahmed (2003; 2004), among others, shall be necessary.Item Configurações do desejo e da abjeção em abjetos: desejos de Antonio de Pádua Dias da Silva(Universidade Federal de Goiás, 2019-03-01) Mendes Júnior, Simião; Camargo, Flávio Pereira; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5015485726957185; Camargo, Flávio Pereira; Camargo, Fábio Figueiredo; Santana, Jorge AlvesWe propose with this dissertation an analysis of the relation between desire and abjection in the fictional narrative of Antonio de Pádua Dias da Silva, with the objective of identifying and examining the different configurations of desire and abjection in the eight short stories chosen as corpus, published in his fourth book Abjetos: desejos (Abjects: desires), 2010. In the selected short stories, desire and abjection are intrinsically related to the characters, such as, for example, gay subjects inserted in homoerotic relationships, or female characters whose bodies and identities do not fit in the aesthetic, moral and normative standards of society, being adiposity, skin color or social condition, constitutive elements of the abjection and the injury to which these women are susceptible. In order to reach these objectives, we propose an initial discussion about the story, especially on the contemporary Brazilian story, based on the reflections of Alfredo Bosi (2008), Julio Cortázar (2008), Luiz Costa Lima (1983) and Antônio Hohlfeldt and the insertion of Antonio de Padua and his work in this context of production.Regarding the configurations of desire and abjection, concepts and problematizations about the relationship between literature and homoeroticism will be used from the propositions of Jurandir Freire Costa (1992), José Carlos Barcellos (2006), João Silvério Trevisan (2007), Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick (2007), Didier Eribon (2008), and Antonio de Padua himself (2009, 2011). We will also discuss abjection in relation to the fat woman, demonstrating how the desire of these women are blocked or even transformed into eating disorders. To do so, we will resort to authors who portray the question of female beauty and adiposity, such as Susie Orbach (1978); Betty Friedan (1971); Naomi Wolf (1992); Judith Butler (2003), among others.Item “Vamos brincar de gatinho?”: lesbianidades em Eu sou uma lésbica, de Cassandra Rios(Universidade Federal de Goiás, 2023-03-02) Morais, Paula Lais Pombo de; Camargo, Flávio Pereira; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5015485726957185; Camargo, Flávio Pereira; Vieira, Kyara Maria de Almeida; Gimenez, Priscila RenataIn this dissertation, we aim to investigate lesbianities from the novel Eu sou uma lesbica, by the São Paulo writer Cassandra Rios, understanding that her literature was essential and pioneering in dealing with lesbianism while Brazil was experiencing a repressive period surrounded by taboos as a result of the Military dictatorship. For this, it was necessary to emphasize the writing and relevance of Rios in Brazilian literature, since Odette Rios Perez Gonzáles Hernândez Arellano (1932-2002) was significant, especially for having been resistant in approaching and discussing the lesbian theme and the figure of the sexually active woman in fiction. In this sense, we also deal with literati who, like Cassandra Rios, suffered censorship of their writings, because they brought up themes that were not easily digested by the patriarchal society. In addition, we discussed the nuances of Brazilian lesbian literature, taking as a starting point O cortiço (1890), by Aluízio de Azevedo – to talk about the first appearances of lesbian characters, ending in Amora (2015), by Natália Borges Polesso – to argue about of contemporary representations. We discussed excerpts from the silencing and rescue of Brazilian lesbian literature, considering the observations of Rodolfo Londero (2016) about the censorship that was established, mainly on the works of Rios and Carraro due to the “moral values” established by heteronormative society. From this, we were able to reflect on the multiple lesbian identities, understanding that there is no manual for lesbianity, as Tânia Navarro Swain (2004) points out. And it is precisely from this perception, of the diversity of lesbian existences, that we understand that the debate on the inscription of binarity on the lesbian and/or the lesbian is fundamental for the conception of different lesbian experiences. Finally, we deal with the lust (erotic desire) between lesbians and/or dykes as intrinsic aspects of the lesbian condition, which is evidenced from Rios' narrative, between Flávia and Kênia, as well as we discuss the invisibility to which homoaffective relationships are submitted. However, lesbian existences contest and resist heteronormativity based on the understanding that the lesbian and/or dyke is neither a man, nor a woman, nor a product of nature (WITTIG, 2019). Thus, the study of lesbian identities and existences allowed us to elaborate a reflection on diversity in lesbianity, as we understand the importance of resistance in terms of the defense of lesbian identity in its different manifestations, which breaks with the heterosexual logic and with the binary system on her body and her sexuality.Item Configurações homoeróticas em Me chame pelo seu nome, de André Aciman(Universidade Federal de Goiás, 2022-02-24) Oliveira, Gabriel Torquato; Camargo, Flávio Pereira; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5015485726957185; Camargo, Flávio Pereira; Fonseca, Pedro Carlos Louzada; Coimbra, Rosicley AndradeWe propose with this dissertation, an analysis of the romance Call me by Your Name, which was published in 2007 by the American writer André Aciman and translated into Portu-guese in 2018. The romance narrates the homoaffective relationship between Elio Perlman and Oliver in the 1980s at Rivieira Italiana. We will seek to analyze the way in which the character Elio discovers himself as a gay subject, through the desire he feels for Oliver, highlighting the multicultural relationships that he experiences throughout his life and that help in the formation of his fragmented identity, which is in constant transformation, for this, we will start from the reflections of Néstor Canclini (1997/2006), Homi K. Bhabha (2012), Stuart Hall (2006/2011), among others. We will also discuss how hybrid relation-ships shape the identity of Elio and Oliver. Observing how the body and homoerotic desire are represented in the romance, taking into account that the desire is linked to the search for the completeness of the being, as a way to legitimize a yearning, as well as issues re-lated to the abject body, from from the propositions of Georges Bataille (1987) Zygmunt Bauman (2004), Judith Butler (2010), Didier Eribon (2008) Thinking about the subjectivity of the body and homoerotic desire, we intend to problematize gender issues in order to think about existing conflicts related to identity gay in a heteronormative society.Item Representações do corpo feminino em contos de O leopardo é um animal delicado, de Marina Colasanti(Universidade Federal de Goiás, 2021-08-13) Pacheco, Victória Lopes; Camargo, Flávio Pereira; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5015485726957185; Camargo, Flávio Pereira; Gimenez, Priscila Renata; Borges, LucianaThis dissertation has as its object of study the book of short stories O leopardo é um animal delicado (1998), by Marina Colasanti. Out of the twenty-five texts, eight were selected to compose this work: “É alma, não é?”, “Menina de vermelho a caminho da lua”, “Porque a pena”, “Um dia, afinal”, “Maria, Maria”, “O leopardo é um animal delicado”, “Na funda escuridão” e “Amor e morte na página dezessete”. We prioritized these narratives mainly because they are all centered on female characters, enabling the development of the discussion around them. Our objective, in the course of reading each of the chosen texts and analyzing the central characters, is to reflect on how these female characters are fictionally represented, based on the idea of corporeality proposed by Elizabeth Grosz ( 2000) and the body categories presented by Elódia Xavier in Que corpo é esse? (2007) – especially, eroticized body and immobilized body –, in addition to two other categories proposed in this dissertation – maternal body and sick body –, allowing an association with Declínio do patriarcado (1998), which will help us in our deliberations about family relationships. Throughout our investigations, we sought to establish a productive dialogue with some critical reception of Marina Colasanti's production and also with some theoretical-critical discussions arising from gender studies.Item Sujeito, espaço e identidade: configurações do homoerotismo em O filho da mãe e Simpatia pelo demônio, de Bernardo Carvalho(Universidade Federal de Goiás, 2021-12-14) Silva, Alex Bruno da; Camargo, Flávio Pereira; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5015485726957185; Camargo, Flávio Pereira; Santini, Juliana; Rocha, Rejane Cristina; Paula, Marcelo Ferraz de; Ribeiro, Renata RochaThe present thesis aims to analyze how the relationship between the subject and space, in the no-vels O Filho da Mãe (2009) and Simpatia pelo demônio (2016), by the contemporary writer Ber-nardo Carvalho, explains the conflicts around identity issues. We start from the hypothesis that displacement – whether represented by traffic, the wandering of characters, the crisis and fluidity of identities – brings to the forefront deviant identities that, in various aspects, call into question the crisis of the masculine, challenging heteronormative boundaries and their arrangements within discursive mechanisms. In this sense, Bernardo Carvalho, in these two novels, presents wandering/foreigner characters whose representation revolves around issues of homoeroticism and the demands of desire in different social and geographical contexts. Works analysis from the perspective of homoerotic desire, allowed this articulation between space and non-heteronormative identity to be verified, from a corporeal sociability of the characters, implying, therefore, in a literature open to difference. The methodology of this research, which is bibliogra-phical in nature, includes the theoretical-critical studies formulated by: Stuart Hall (2003/2006/2014), Regina Dalcastagnè (2012), Néstor García Canclini (2016), Michel de Certeau (2014), Tim Cresswell (2006), Doreen Massey (2015), Marc Augé (1994/2006/2010), Judith Bu-tler (2008/2015/2019), Michel Foucault (1981/2010/2014/2018/2019a/2019b/2020), Guacira Lo-pes Louro (2010/2020), among others. Thus, we hope that the results will contribute to the critical fortune of Bernardo Carvalho's fictional work, specifically, on the novels O filho da Mãe and Simpatia pelo demônio.Item Espaço, memória e identidade em Dois irmãos, de Milton Hatoum(Universidade Federal de Goiás, 2018-02-06) Silva, Alex Bruno da; Camargo, Flávio Pereira; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5015485726957185; Camargo, Flávio Pereira; Rocha, Rejane Cristina; Ribeiro, Renata Rocha; Frota, Adolfo José de Souza; Santana, Jorge AlvesIn this research we propose an analysis of the novel Dois irmãos, by Milton Hatoum, in order to verify the interweaving between memory, space and identity. In this novel, Hatoum manages to interweave the space of the house and the city of Manaus with the narrator's need to fill the voids of his story, which leads us to the hypothesis that the representation of space, in the novel Dois irmãos, plays a preponderant role in the construction of the narrator's subjective memory. This research hypothesis is based on the following questions: a) What is new in the theme of memory in Dois irmãos, which leads us to reflect on the experiences of the contemporary subject? and b) how does the representation of space affect the subjectivity of the characters and allows us to think about identity in contemporary society? To answer these questions and reflect on the hypothesis raised, we chose to structure this work into two chapters, in which theory and criticism are associated with the analysis of the fictional text in a dialogical way. The treatment given to memory, space and identity is imbricated in the context of the novel Dois irmãos so that when talking about the narrator's memory and the constructions of characters identities, the spatial aspect is indispensable to understand this relation. Thus, in the first chapter titled "Threads of Stories: Weaving Memories in Dois irmãos by Milton Hatoum," we will problematize how the theme of memory deals with the relation between memory and forgetfulness, reality and imagination, individual and collective aspects, to think about the rescue of memory in a contemporary society. To understand memory, from a traumatic event, we will base our reflections and discussions on the propositions of Walter Benjamin (1985), Jeanne Marie Gagnebin (2009), Márcio Seligmann-Silva (2002/2003/2008), Michael Pollak (1989), Primo Levi (2004) and Maurice Halbwachs (2006), to establish a dialogue with other critics and observe the meanings of memory in Hatoum's novel. In the second chapter, entitled "Spaces in Ruins: Traffic Pictures in Dois irmãos, by Milton Hatoum," we will look at some aspects of space construction in Hatoum's narratives to think about the relationship between space and characters. The theoretical-critical contribution used to analyze this relationship between space and subject refers us to the studies of Osman Lins (1976), Michel de Certeau (2014), Oziris Borges Filho (2007), Luis Alberto Brandão (2013/2015), Doreen Massey (2015), among others. In this chapter we will also examine, from a Cultural Studies perspective, the meanings of traffic, exile and wandering, to raise some questions that specifically concern the condition of the immigrant subject in constant spatial displacement. The representation of the city and the spaces of intimacy will also be observed as places of social and subjective practices of the subject to reveal with these spaces, they reveal lived experiences that, in the narrative, are filtered by the narrator's gaze and (re)constructed by means of your memory.
