Título: Afeto e docência: uma análise discursiva acerca das reflexões sobre construção de rapport no primeiro ciclo do ensino fundamental Autor: Braga, Jessica Fernandes Primeiro orientador: Silveira, Fernanda Vieira da Rocha Abstract: Literacy as a pillar of education faces historical challenges in Brazil, which significantly affect the quality of education—often marked by social inequalities and the recent impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Program of Alfabetização, Leitura e Autoria para Valorização das Redes de Aprendizagem (P.A.L.A.V.R.A.), developed by the Municipal Education Department of Niterói, emerges as an initiative to strengthen the educational policy entitled "Uma Rede Inteira pela Alfabetização" in the Niterói’s city. This policy aims to guarantee fundamental rights by concentrating efforts on combating illiteracy and promoting inclusion, with special attention to the ongoing challenges resulting from the pandemic. As a strategy to mitigate the impacts of the health crisis, the program is committed to supporting teachers in the Niteroi public schools who work with first-grade reference groups in Elementary School. Aligned with the Curriculum Guidelines of this city, the P.A.L.A.V.R.A. program establishes its own curricular and pedagogical directives, highlighting the uniqueness of Niterói's educational context. This qualitative, ethnographic study is organized as a case study and aims to explore the concepts of affection and rapport as understood by two teachers who worked with first-grade students in 2024. It also seeks to understand the emotions experienced by these teachers during the process of building rapport, and to assess whether and how the PALAVRA meetings contributed to their reflection on pedagogical practices that foster the construction of rapport. The theoretical framework supporting this research includes a brief history of literacy in Brazil, literacy methods, and the concept of letramento (Soares, 1998, 2017); affect and emotions (Spinoza, 1677; Deleuze; Guattari, 1980; Damasio, 1994; Massumi, 1995; Benesh, 2018; among others); emotions and literacy (Freire, 1979; Arnold, 1999; Barcelos, 2015); and rapport (Rosenthal, 1990; Nery, 2014; among others). The data, generated through questionnaires and interviews with the two participating teachers between September 2024 and February 2025, were analyzed using content analysis (Bardin, 1977). At the conclusion of this study and based on analyses, it became clear that participants understand affect and rapport as essential for welcoming children, strengthening teacher–student bonds, and fostering an environment conducive to learning. It is a desire that this work could contribute to the recognition of teaching practices that place affect and rapport at the heart of school relationships and inspire further research into the interplay of emotions, teacher education, and literacy, particularly within socially vulnerable contexts facing the challenges of Brazilian public education.

Título: “Vó, a senhora é lésbica?”: a construção e a representação das personagens homossexuais femininas em Amora, de Natalia Borges Polesso Autor: Rodrigues, Niellem Sousa Primeiro orientador: Torres, Maximiliano Gomes Abstract: This dissertation analyzes the construction and representation of lesbian characters in Western literature and seeks, through historical surveys, to address the stereotypes through which female homosexual characters have been portrayed. It starts from the understanding that heterosexuality has historically been imposed as the norm, marginalizing and stigmatizing female homosexual experiences. The study is based on feminist and queer theories, especially those that problematize heteronormativity, gender roles and the silencing of dissident subjectivities. By analyzing and understanding these caricatured, pejorative and pessimistic ways of portraying lesbian characters, it is possible to think of new perspectives for the representation of these experiences, including in contemporary literature. Finally, the analysis of the short stories selected from the collection Amora (2015), by Natalia Borges Polesso, will serve to understand how the author creates lesbian characters in narratives that break with traditional stereotypes, offering plural, affective and powerful representations. The research is guided by the theoretical perspectives of Butler (2023), Facco (2004), Foucault (2022/1987), Louro (2004), Moot (1987), Preciado (2013/2022), Rich (2012), Wittig (2022), Woolf (2014).

Título: Quando o santo aparece, ninguém esquece: o realismo mágico nos romances Macumba e Fogo nas encruzilhadas, de Rodrigo Santos Autor: Marins, Ricardo Nogueira Soares Primeiro orientador: Oliveira, Paulo Cesar de Abstract: The present dissertation proposes to investigate two novels by Rodrigo Santos, a writer and professor born in São Gonçalo, Macumba and Fire at the Crossroads, with the theme being contemporary forms of realism, using the detective novel, highlighting the fantastic elements in both narratives. Rodrigo Santos weaves a plot set in peripheral social spaces and deals with marginalized subjects whose lives come to the forefront in his narratives. Hence the relevance of Afro-Brazilian cults in the plot and the research on the forms of the fantastic in the work, which leads us to a theoretical framework initially focused on already established theories, such as in Introduction to Fantastic Literature (1980) and The Narrative Structures (2006) by Tzvetan Todorov, as well as more recent works by Irlemar Chiampi (2015), Ana Luiza Silva Camarani (2014), Fernanda Massi (2011), Francine Iegelski (2021), among others. The perspectives of these theorists and their objects of investigation: realism and fantasy, will be taken into account. The methodology focuses on the comparative analysis of the novels with the aid of the cited theoretical texts and others.

Título: Entre a história e a ficção: o sujeito diaspórico em O livro dos negros, de Lawrence Hill Autor: Seidel, Tharcilla Barros Primeiro orientador: Carreira, Shirley de Souza Gomes Abstract: Neo-slave narratives emerged in the 1960s in the wake of the Civil Rights Movement in the United States. In an intertextual dialogue with slave narratives, they sought to maintain the form, the first-person voice, and the theme of these narratives. The objective of this thesis is to analyze the representation of the diasporic subject in the novel The Book of Negroes, by Canadian author Lawrence Hill (2015), whose protagonist is Aminata Dialo, a slave who, in her old age, narrates her story in support of the abolitionist movement in England. The novel establishes an intense dialogue between fiction and history, staging an interpretation of historical events from the point of view of the oppressed. For the purposes of this analysis, we draw on theoretical perspectives on the concept and characteristics of neo-narratives of slavery (Bell, 1987; Rusdhy, 1999, Smith, 2007, Misrahi-Barak, 2014), the ways in which the historical archive is reread through literary work (Cosson and Schwantes, 2005), the African diaspora (Cohen, 2023; Heywood, 2010, Falola and Warnock, 2007, among others), the configuration of diasporic identity (Hall, 2003; Berry, 2004) and the relationship between memory and cultural trauma (Eyerman, 2001; Woods, 2019).
