Sobre perfurações e deslocamentos: um estudo de algumas produções artísticas de mulheres na contemporaneidade

Abstract

This thesis stems from, at first, the recognition of a certain violent impulse present in several woman-made artistic manifestations whose topics deal, in a way, with impasses that present themselves to our current times. This realization, materialized in the persistence of the idea of perforation, shall be set against a certain propositional aspect that constitute such works, taking into account the tools and devices utilized by the poets/artists in analysis. On a second level, the matter of displacement in these productions shall be inquired under several aspects: the movability within the categories of “national”, “woman” and “black woman”; how the poems transit between borders and supports; the circulation around the streets of the choleric city; and the outing towards an other. In this proposition, the following poetry books will be examined: Um útero é do tamanho de um punho, by Angélica Freitas; O martelo, by Adelaide Ivánova, Use o alicate agora (and a few independently published poems), by Natasha Felix; O coice da égua, by Valeska Torres; and Onde estão as bombas, by Tatiana Pequeno. In visual arts, we shall examine the concept of “suture” in Rosana Paulino’s work
