Resumo
In the novel Uma aprendizagem ou O livro dos prazeres by Clarice Lispector, originally published
in 1969, the main characters, Loreley and Ulisses, seek their own psychological maturity, so that a
deep and lasting affective-sexual relationship can be built between them. Thus, it is noticeable, in
the process of psychological development sought by the protagonists of the novel, the
establishment of a heteroeroticism between them, that is, of an eroticism between subjects that
have different gender identities, within the binary logic of feminine-masculine that underlies the
heterosexual matrix in our society. This heteroeroticism between Loreley and Ulisses is
consolidated, throughout the narrative, through gender performativities, which are, as Judith Butler
(2003, 2016) theorizes, discursive reiterations that aim to ensure the intelligibility of sexual
differentiation socio-historically-culturally, amid a “regulatory ideal” that promotes the
maintenance of certain power relations. However, there are not only maintenances of gender
performativities of the heterosexual matrix throughout Lispector’s novel, but also some
subversions/transgressions/inversions in relation to them, which can be identified, for example, in
parodies – intertexts with critical distance (HUTCHEON, 1989) – with heteroerotic configurations
present in the narrative. Thereby, this master’s thesis aims to analyze and reflect on how the
heteroeroticism between Loreley and Ulisses is established, along textual and intertextual
(parodistic) instances, either by leading to gender performativities of the heterosexual matrix, or by
subverting them. In order to support the analysis proposed in this paper, I mainly resort to
theoretical formulations by Linda Hutcheon (1989), Howard Bloch (1995), Elizabeth Grosz (2000),
Judith Butler (2003, 2016), Zygmunt Bauman (2004), Simone de Beauvoir (2009), Kathryn
Woodward (2012), Tomaz Tadeu da Silva (2012), Stuart Hall (2012), Georges Bataille (2014) and
Michel Foucault (2012, 2013, 2015).
